The average cost for water supplied to a home is about $2.00 for 1,000 gallons.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s do the math: 1,000 gallons of water equals 128,000 ounces. That means you are most likely paying $0.075 for each ounce of water in a bottle versus $0.000016 from the tap. To fill a 20-ounce bottle with tap water would cost $0.00031.<\/p>\n<p>So why would you want to pay upwards of 1,800 times more per ounce over water from your tap?<br \/>\nMost people are spending money on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/outlook\/cmo\/non-alcoholic-drinks\/bottled-water\/united-states\">$100.2 billion bottled water industry<\/a> that relies on the idea of clean drinking water.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/facts-and-figures-about-materials-waste-and-recycling\/plastics-material-specific-data\">Less than 30%<\/a> of plastic bottles are recycled in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23617 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/iStock-1439954031.jpg\" alt=\"People wearing gloves collecting trash on the beach.\" width=\"1254\" height=\"836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/iStock-1439954031.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/iStock-1439954031-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/iStock-1439954031-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/iStock-1439954031-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Bottled water vs tap water<\/h2>\n<p>What comes out of your faucet might not give you the greatest confidence. You might experience unpleasant tastes or odors when you turn on your tap. Many people describe bottled water as tasting fresh.<\/p>\n<p>If you are connected to a public utility, water takes a long journey from the source to your tap. The most common complaint about tap water is the taste and odor of chlorine. Chlorine is used as a disinfectant and has few health risks. However, there can be <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/shower-filters-softer-hair-skin\/\">side effects<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you notice an earthy or musty smell, it is likely the result of bacteria or algae growing on the inside of taps or around rubber washers.<\/p>\n<p>If you notice a bitter, metallic taste, it could be a sign that your fixture needs to be replaced.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23616 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/iStock-1297631362.jpg\" alt=\"Sustainable lifestyle concept, people using reusable bottles, plastic free environment\" width=\"1254\" height=\"836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/iStock-1297631362.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/iStock-1297631362-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/iStock-1297631362-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/iStock-1297631362-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>How to save money with filters<\/h2>\n<p>You can have clean and safe water without spending much money or polluting the environment. Water filters will often reduce the taste and odor of chlorine. You can also purchase filters that will reduce other common contaminants too.<\/p>\n<p>A Brita replacement filter has a recommended capacity of 40 gallons, which converts to 5,120 ounces. One filter will fill 256 20-ounce water bottles. The recommended filter change is six months. This means you will only have to buy two filters annually.<\/p>\n<p>What about refrigerator filters? Let&#8217;s look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/p-whirlpool-edr3rxd1-everydrop-filter-3.asp\">Whirlpool EDR3RXD1<\/a>. This filter&#8217;s capacity is 25,600 ounces of water. You can fill 1,280 20-ounce bottles with one filter. Refrigerator water filters <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/when-should-i-change-my-refrigerator-water-filter\/\">should be changed<\/a> at least every six months, so you would only have to buy a refrigerator twice a year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22262 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/iStock-1220716984.jpg\" alt=\"Portrait of happy young family with little kids drinking pure clean mineral water at home, smiling parents with small daughters children recommend healthy lifestyle.\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/iStock-1220716984.jpg 724w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/iStock-1220716984-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>How much would it cost if a family of 4 consumed the recommended 64 ounces of fluids per day for a whole year?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bottled water: $3,120<\/li>\n<li>Tap water: $292.80<\/li>\n<li>Brita Pitcher: $292.80 + cost of 2 filters<\/li>\n<li>Whirlpool Refrigerator: $292.80 + cost of 2 filters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The estimates above take into account the average cost of a bottle of water and the average cost of 1,000 gallons of tap water.<\/p>\n<p>Water filters will reduce or remove bad tastes and odors.
