What is the Best Way to Ensure Pure, Clean Water?

Acquiring pure water is a vital necessity for humans. We have laws to uphold the quality of our water supplies. But these laws have not always been effective. Local water supplies in the United States are certainly among the most inexpensive ways to obtain drinking water. But community water supplies, even when safe, do not always have great flavor. Particulate matter invades local water supplies whenever there is a break in a line. And there are breaks in lines all the time. There must be a better way to ensure you are drinking high quality water. To make sure that water is clean and free from impurities. Could the bottleless water dispenser be a better solution to this problem than bottled water?

Problems with Bottled Water

There are many bottled waters now on the market. Of course, bottled water is expensive. Also, bottles must be handled whenever they are changed or moved, which adds another potential source of hygiene problems. The bottles must be stored somewhere. Another major problem is the fact that almost all bottled water is “bottled” in plastic of one type of another. So, after use, all those plastic bottles must be recycled. However, according to the EPA, l0% or less of the plastic we use is actually recycled. Some 75% of used plastic materials are, instead, sent to landfills. Now, it takes some 500 years to decompose plastic materials in a landfill. A 2015 study by UC Santa Barbara found that almost 8 million metric tons of plastic winds up in the oceans of the world each year, killing perhaps one million sea animals annually. So, while the attempt to recycle plastic is commendable and necessary, it has not been nearly enough to solve the problem of plastic waste so far.

Bottleless Water Dispenser Systems

Another possibility, so far as the purest and best water, is to utilize water that is purified and filtered right where people drink it, from a multi-stage filtered, bottleless water dispenser. This solution sidesteps the problem of plastics completely, because the water is not bottled. But what about the quality of the water? Actually, the quality of the best systems equals or exceeds that of the finest bottled waters. Well, what about expense? It turns out that a system installed in your home or workplace is much less expensive than bottled water. We should certainly continue to increase our recycling efforts. That’s vital for our future. But, less expensive and highest quality water is available right now from bottleless water dispensers that sidestep the recycling problem completely. The bottleless water dispenser system is better for us, and it’s better for the planet.
