Filtered or Bottled?

When choosing to use a filtered water system as opposed to the more traditional “Spring” or “bottled” water there are a number of considerations to think about.

In a fact sheet from Clean Up Australia , some of the frightening statistics regarding bottled water include:

• It can take up to 3lts of water in the production of polyethylene terephthalate, (PET) to produce 1lt of bottled water
  
  • It can take up to 250ml of oil to produce 1lt of bottled water
    
• Individual bottles are made of polyethylene terephthalate, (PET) – for every tonne of PET produced there is 3 tonnes of carbon dioxide released
  
• Up to 90% of the cost of an individual bottle of water comes from the bottle, lid and label
  
  • Whilst these bottles are classed as recyclable, many end up in landfill and oceans, taking up to 1,000 years to break down
    
• Transport costs delivering these bottles to their destination require vast amounts of energy and create carbon emissions
  

Botted water is hundreds of times more expensive than filtered water – you are paying more for your bottled water per litre than your petrol!

Bottom line – Bottled water is very costly, both in terms of your wallet and our planet

FILTERED WATER

• Very high quality, filtered and fresh drinking water
  
• Very low environmental impact
  
• Very low cost per litre
  
• Very convenient – on tap 24/7
