Good Reason to Use a Water Filter:
Bottled Water is Just Repackaged Municipal Water!  

It was in 1999 that a four year study by the Natural Resources Defense Council revealed that 25% of the bottled water is nothing more than tap water which has been repackaged after some minor filtering. Almost all beverage giants dealing in bottled water can do this. In the United States alone the quality of bottled water has been questioned by Environmental Management Institutions. The issue went so big that Green Peace asked people to refrain from drinking bottled water and drink tap water as much as they could.  In the meanwhile, city officials in New York have also started persuading people to abandon bottled water.  The best alternative is to use a high quality water filter.

Remember that in most countries, the municipal water is good enough. That is why it is just treated a bit and packaged for sale. Now this bottle is also very expensive. If you go into doing some simple mathematics, you will find out that when you are getting the same water, getting a water filter installed at your home and taking this filtered water with you wherever you go will prove to be much more viable and pocket friendly.

There may be people complaining against carrying extra load, but naturally the bottle that you buy needs to be carried as well, so it all comes full circle. The bottled water that is nothing more than the municipal water repackaged into bottles, when purchased on a regular basis, like a daily bottle delivery subscription system, becomes much more expensive as compared to municipal water. Why pay more when in all probability you are getting the same water!  Obviously, Water Filter USA is not recommending you drink tap water per se.  Using one of our inexpensive countertop Aquasana water filter will same you money and assure you that your are getting the purest and cleanest water.

One more thing is that bottled water does not give any significant health benefits as compared to municipal water. The main focus is on being purer. Naturally when it is treated some more as it becomes purer than municipal water. But in most of the cases, there are no significant advantages of this because the municipal water is supplied only after the municipal officials test and clear the water for public distribution. They are aware that the water they are getting from the municipal water network is safe and can be drunk by anyone without any risk of illness. There is not much of a need for further treatment, lest the treating chemicals might start acting as pollutants as has been the case in many third world countries of Africa and Asia.  

You should therefore consider using a water filter in the home and avoid bottled water rather than packaged drinking water, because all you are getting is the same water in attractive packaging.
