"I only drink bottled water."

          Have you heard this one before, "I only drink bottled water, I don't need a filtration system." Well then you do not understand that most of the bottled water you are drinking is nothing more than municipal source water, a.k.a TAP WATER! You also do not understand that plastic bottles often leach dangerous chemicals into the water they are containing. The larger five gallon bottles are some of the worst culprits. Have you any concern for the amount of pollution generated in plastic bottle waste on a yearly basis, not to mention the waste from manufacturing the containers in the first place.

         Now let us consider what it is you are paying for. The cost of bottled water is as much (or more) than any soft drink on the market, you are essentially paying for the packaging. Lets talk about that cost, if you spend $3 a day on bottled water, that is $21 a week, $91 a month, $1092 a year, and after 10 years you have paid $10,920 for bottled water (probably much much more). Now lets consider that you are already paying for the water from your municipality... if I told you that I could save you half (or more) of the money you are already spending, while delivering the same (or better) quality water to you each and every day, at the rate of 273 gallons every day, wouldn't you at least want to know how? But I forgot, you only drink bottled water, my mistake.
