Uncovering the Facts About Bottled Water
In the early 1990s, anxiety over tap water safety led to a surge in bottled water popularity, fueled by powerful marketing campaigns. These campaigns suggested that bottled water was the safest choice. However, home water filtration systems often offer a more convenient and cost-effective solution, especially considering that consumers spend $22 billion annually on bottled water.
The Reality of Bottled Water
A deeper investigation into bottled water reveals surprising insights. The Natural Resources Defense Council reports that 40% of bottled water is essentially repackaged tap water, often undergoing minimal treatment. Despite the high price of bottled water?"1,000 times more than tap water?"its quality isn't consistently superior. The Food and Drug Administration imposes similar or lower filtration standards on bottled water compared to the Environmental Protection Agency's standards for tap water.
As a result, about 22% of bottled water contains contaminants, like E. coli and fecal coliform, at levels below standard safety thresholds.
Exploring Better Alternatives
When neither tap nor bottled options seem sufficient, home water filtration systems present a compelling alternative. At Filters Fast, we advocate for these systems, which empower consumers to control their water quality while saving money.
Filtration systems effectively remove most harmful contaminants, unlike plastic bottles that can leach carcinogens into water over time. Open bottled water quickly becomes a breeding ground for bacteria.
Environmental Impact
Plastic water bottles contribute significantly to environmental issues. Each year, 2.7 million tons of plastic are used for bottling water, with 86% of it never being recycled, according to the Earth Policy Institute.
