Stop wasting your money on bottled water. According to the World Wildlife Fund, "Bottled water may be no safer, or healthier, than tap water in many countries while selling for up to 1,000 times the price." 40 percent of bottled water should be labeled bottled 'tap water' because that is exactly what it is.
However, you can get the greater taste of bottled water right at home with a filter system. The average cost of pint sized bottled water is $1.23, and with 8 pints in a gallon, that brings the cost of bottled water up to about $9.85 a gallon. Tap water costs much less than a penny a gallon. You may find that getting a high quality water filtration system for your refrigerator helps to reduce the need to buy as much bottled water.
Combination systems are available for both Drinking Water and Shower Filter Systems for a couple hundred dollars. The ROI Calculation is based on the offset from two members of the family each buying 1 bottle of water a week.
