If you're buying bottled water, chances are you're doing so because you prefer the taste and trust the quality of bottled over tap. You're also paying more and missing out on the simple convenience of just running the faucet for drinking water. Available at a lower cost than many bottled water sources, home water filters offer an easy way to get clean, better-tasting tap water from home.






Cost Benefits





* The cost of water from a home filtration system is approximately 78% less per gallon than bottled. Over the long-term, the cost comparison between bottled and filtered can be quite significant.
* Once you own a home filtration system, your only expense lies in changing the disposable filter.
