One of the top items on most shopping lists is bottled water, especially during the hot summer season. It is important for us to drink plenty of water daily – people have swapped the 8 glasses of water per day rule with bottled water because of the convenience.  In addition, many of us have ditched the soda and high-sugared fruit drinks with water. Unfortunately, drinking water from certain plastic bottles can be unhealthy.  

Recent studies have shown that there are dangerous chemicals in certain types of plastic water bottles that contain bisphenol A and phthalates. These dangerous chemicals can seep into your water and actually cause weight gain and fatigue.

The sole purpose of drinking water is to cleanse your system and to help keep our weight down—drinking water containing toxins defeats the purpose of drinking healthy.

The good news, there are alternatives such as installing a water filter system in your home. There are three types of filtration: On-faucet Filtration, Countertop Filters Systems and Under Sink Filtration Systems.

On-faucet Filtration forces tap water through a thick carbon block that has holes that lock in harmful chemicals, odors and bacteria.

Countertop Filters Systems filters even tiny particles and can be used along with carbon to prevent bad odors.

Under Sink Filtration Systems offers a much higher flow capacity than your standard faucet filter and it is easy to attach.

If your family drinks several cases of bottled water each month, you may want to consider adding a water filter to your home. A new water filter will provide thousands of gallons of clean fresh water without the toxins that may exist in plastic bottles. Also, a new water filter will end up saving you quite a bit of money by eliminating the need for bottled water.
