Is Bottled Water As Safe As Filtered Water?

Filtered Water Is Better, Safer & Cheaper

How filtered water is better, safer, and cleaner to drink!

Many people who are aware of the dangers of tap water choose to buy bottled water. It must be easier and less expensive than investing in a water filtration system, right? 

Not necessarily.

 

Here’s Why:

Bottled water isn’t necessarily safer than tap water.

About one-quarter of bottled water is tap water that has been processed and repackaged. Once it’s bottled water, it’s the FDA – not the EPA – who regulate it. For example, the EPA requires that tap water be monitored for asbestos, while the FDA imposes no such requirement on bottled-water manufacturers. Also, bottled-water companies aren’t required to disinfect or test for parasites such as Cryptosporidium or Giardia–a requirement for city tap water.

Consequences of putting the

The consequences of putting water in plastic

Putting the water in a plastic bottle can affect taste, depending on the type of plastic used. Also in an August 2000 Consumer Reports report, eight of the ten 5-gallon polycarbonate jugs checked left residues of the endocrine disrupter, bisphenol A (BPA), in the water. (Plastic components). Not to mention, what plastic bottles do to the environment.

Not Informing Consumers:

Filtering your tap water gives you control over what’s removed from the water you drink. Unlike bottled water, many filters tell you exactly what they filter out. NOTE: the source of purified drinking water need not be named (unless it is untreated public-source water).

Bottled Water Is Expensive!

Let us show you why you can save money on water by getting a water filtering system.

 

Water Filters

Filters – like a Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water System – also give you clean water that is cheaper than bottled water delivered to your home: about 30 to 50 cents per gallon on average vs. 89 cents to more than $2 per gallon.

Average American Consumers

American consumers spent more than $1 billion on all manner of home water-filtering gear last year (SOURCE: Frost & Sullivan, a market research firm).

Bottled Isn't Cheaper!

One-third of the water they drank was bottled. Bottled water isn’t cheap! Prices average about 89 cents for a 1-gallon jug, the kind supermarkets sell. At that rate, a typical household would spend $214 a year for drinking water.

And if they wanted it delivered at home? Add about $325 or MORE per year.

Limited Water Supply

Bottled water is a pain to purchase – having to shop for and lugging gallons around – and it also provides only a limited supply of water.

Also, you don’t use bottled water for brushing your teeth, cooking, providing water for pets.

Save Money On Household Expenses!

Energy Bills, Clothing, Cleaning Supplies, Soaps & Hygiene Products, Pet Health Bills, and Repairs & Replacement Costs for Appliances!

"Never disappoints! I've had two water tests conducted on my home. During the most recent John shared his knowledge and expertise on not only the Well tank pump that was in serious need of replacement but also options for my water softener. I never felt pressured to commit to something I didn't need. They made sure I had all the information and let me make a decision based on what made sense for me. Great experience from first call to final product!"

"We are new to the area and new to well water. We have used Sanatoga twice now - for routine maintenance and a water softener install. Juan is always on time and very attentive. We feel fortunate we have someone who cares about our house as if it were his own and a company we can count on in the years to come.
Thank you for excellent service!"

- John D.

"We have used Sanatoga Water Conditioning as a residential client as well as for our business customers for several years now. I could not be more happy with the customer service and professionalism that they provide. I always get a cheerful and helpful person on the other end of the line when I call the office, and the technicians who installed our water treatment system were clean, professional and answered all of my questions. I can definitely recommend Sanatoga, 5 Stars."

JD stopped by this morning to do a check on our 2 yr old water system. He was very informative and found that our water softener was not working properly - which I suspected already. He filled the water softener with salt and is going to have the company follow up with me to fix the water softener. Service people are top notch! Thanks JD!

The office staff, Alexi, was courteous and keeps me informed as to what services are due when. The technician Juan, tested our water quality first and informed us we did not need to change 2 of the more expensive filters in our 5 filter under the sink RO system. Juan arrived on time and was honest, friendly and professional. He changed the 3 filters quickly and with no water splashed under the sink. I would highly recommend SWC for all your RO system needs including parts or service.
