So what is the cheapest way to go on filtered water ? A lot of that depends on your household size and your environment *, so you may have to figure that out yourselves on which way to go or even half and half.
My city water tastes terrible but it is still safe to drink, in spite of that, I did buy a under the tap water filter that reduces lead levels, herbicides,insecticides even viruses, bacteria by 99% etc. How did the filtered water taste ? It has no flavor at all which is a good sign.
The inside filter must be change every 100 gallons, there is a gauge that tells you if your filter needs changing or not.So what does that mean math wise?
Since each filter must be replace every 100 gallons, It means each filter can fill...
100- 1 gallon bottles. (128 ounces each)
or
200- 1/2 gallon bottles. (64 ounces each)
or
400- quart size bottles (32 ounces each)
or
800- pint size bottles (16 ounces each)
Since most bottled water comes in 16.9 ounce size that'll come out to 757 bottles.Not bad for a $25 water filtering system and with replacement filters costing less than $10 each, not too mention saving the environment from plastic bottles.
.One thing to remember most bottled water may be filtered local city water, except you won't have to wait to drink it,* but home filtered water really does NOT take long to be poured into a bottle, and to me it seems it is way- way cheaper saving hundreds or maybe even thousands of dollars per year.
NOTE: RUNNING HOT WATER THROUGH A WATER FILTER RUINS THEM, BUT IT IS OKAY FOR THE NON-FILTER SIDE IN CASE YOU'RE DOING DISHES ETC. BUT MAKE SURE WATER IS COLD BEFORE TURNING ON THE FILTERED SIDE.
Hot weather is just right around the corner, so it may be a good idea to have filtered ice cold water inside your refrigerator during those times. (end)
