Is Bottled Water Quality Better Than Tap Water?

Have you thought bottled water quality is better than tap water? If you have you don't know the whole truth.

The quality of bottled water is not required to be any better than tap water. In fact, because the plastic from the bottles is leached into the water, it may have tested great at the factory, but by the time you drink it there will be residue from the plastic in the water.

This causes bottled water quality to be inferior to tap water. Advertisers spend their money trying to make you believe their water comes from a pristine mountain stream when in reality most bottled H2O comes right out the tap.

The Natural Resources Defense Council states in a report dated March 1999 that 60 - 70% of all bottled H2O is completely exempt from the FDA's standard for bottled water, because it is bottled and sold within the same state. Unless water is transported across state lines the FDA standards don't apply.

Another concern is all the plastic bottles that end up in the landfill. The negative impact on our environment needs to be considered when buying bottles of water and disposing of the plastic bottle.

When you buy bottled you are paying anywhere from $1 to $4 a gallon. You think the quality is worth that price, but in fact there is better and more economically way to be sure you have great tasting pure water. It is by installing a home water filter.

With a kitchen water filter you can expect to pay only about 9 cents a gallon for healthy clean water. The water will have a great taste and be free from contaminates.
