Why the PATRIOT water filter is better than bottled water?
* Savings: Bottled water costs as much as 1900% more than tap water.
* The average cost across the United States for a gallon of tap water is .0015. That is less than a penny per gallon!
* Purity: The PATRIOT filter prefilters then filters the water down to as far as .5 of a micron, (submicronic) in two stages
* Convienence: Going to the store to fill your 5 gallon bottle and wasting all that time is a thing of the past
* Taste: No more chlorine or floride tasting water, just clean fresh tasting water
Bottled Water
Bottled water may not be as healthy as you think. A 2008 study of 10 popular brands of bottled water conducted by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), found disinfection byproducts, fertilizer residue, and medications in all of them.
Some bottled water brands are nothing more than poorly filtered tap water, not the pure clean mountain stream water that their advertising and pictures show.
A lot of brands of bottled water contain high levels of sodium.
Reverse osmosis is used by some brands to purify the water but it not only strips the essential minerals from the water but the process creates a 60% waste water to clean water ratio.
The FDA periodically monitors bottled water for impurities but does not monitor them for PH levels nor for the levels of Fluoride.
Bottled water companies are not required to disclose how they treat their water, what additives are added if any and what the chemical composition of the water is.
