America is the number one consumer of bottled water in the world according to James Owen from National Geographic News. The Energy Information Administration states that the average annual price for gasoline in the U.S. is $3.02 while some bottled water companies charge up to $6.40 per gallon! Imagine 30 years or more from now with the combined amount of money spent on supposedly pure bottled water and also the amount of waste produced from the un-recycled bottles that destroy the Earth. Some bottled water when tested reflects no difference in quality than the actual tap water as it began. From an environmental, frugal, and forward-thinking point of view, having an in-home filtration system is advantageous.
\nWith an in-home filtration system, the consumer can have confidence that their drinking water is safe and clean and can enjoy the convenience of not lugging cases of bottled water home each week. One of the major bottled water companies actually states on their website that the water is filtered by reverse osmosis but is then “enhanced” with special minerals. Why not purchase an in-home reverse osmosis system that will truly offer freshly filtered water? An in-home system provides the consumer with bottled water quality water or better because it is filtered at the source of the consumer’s faucet. The reverse osmosis process involves high water pressure through microscopic pores of the filter that will reduce the contaminants to virtually pure water free of contaminants such as chlorine, sediment, and cysts that are commonly found in drinking water. A popular system by Pentek is the RO-3500<\/a> which has 3 different stages of filtration for $280.00. The pre-filter should be changed every 3 months while the post-filter lasts one year. Total price for system maintenance per year is around $35.00. The thin film membrane change is signaled by the indicator light which can be anywhere between 2 and 5 years depending upon water quality. The membrane unit is $87.95. Another reverse osmosis system by Hydrotech is the 4VTFC75GPB<\/a> which has 4 stages of filtration and is only $298.99. Replacement filters should be changed every 6 months which means about $70.00 a year to maintain this system\u2019s high filtering ability. Another type of advanced filtration system is the 3M WV-B3<\/a> which is a single stage system for $268.00. This system will reduce 99.99% of chlorine, sediment, cysts, bacteria.
