Quick And Easy Countertop Water Filters Installation

Filed under: water filters — Tags: — @ 6:47 pm

The arduous process of installing a water filter forces millions of the households to switch to bottled drinking water. A countertop water filter is a less expensive option with easy-to-install systems. Some of these filters require a few tools to connect it to your kitchen faucet or to hook it up under a sink. Some times you may just need a wrench to install the filter. Within a few minutes, it is ready to use for your daily drinking needs.

After purchasing a countertop water filter, make sure that you have all the parts in the box. Some of these filters have a diverter valve and thick plastic tubing that could be attached with the faucet, which should be positioned over the sink. Others are available with a spigot that could be used instead of your normal kitchen faucet. In the later case, you can place the filter over the kitchen counter for easy usage.

Once you have installed it, make sure that all the connections are secure and there are no leaks. Even replacing the filter cartridge is easy. Stop the feed water, clean the inside of the filter housing and replace filter cartridges. While installing the filter, do not change any plumbing as they are in accordance to state and local regulations. Have a cheap and safe water drinking life!

Shouldn’t We Finally Break Our Plastic Water Bottle Habit?

Filed under: water filters — Tags: , — @ 1:22 am

Millions of families are spending an incredible amount of money each year on bottled water. With the costs of everything skyrocketing, many families are turning to water filters instead. Water filters can deliver safer and cleaner water at an incredible cost as low as 9 cents a gallon.

Just how much do you spend each year on bottled water?  It is almost certainly more than you think.  In a recent pricing study, a California supermarket sold a popular brand of bottled water for $1.19 per twenty ounce bottle.  In many studies, the same bottle of water was typically sold for over $1.75 in vending machines.  90% of the expense of bottled water is in making the bottle itself - all of which are soon thrown away.

The majority of dietitians recommend that people drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day.  Even if we assume that only half of that comes from bottled water, that could still mean that a person is spending up to $1,022 each year bottled water. In an average-sized family, the amount of money wasted on bottled water can be several thousands of dollars each year.  Just think of all the things you could do with that money!  Luckily, the use of  water filters can get that money back for you to spend however you see fit.

Water filters are a very affordable option.  Water itself is amazingly cheap.  Tap water costs only two-tenths of a penny per gallon.  Adding in a step of filtration only adds a small amount of cost, since the same water filter can be used for hundreds of gallons of water.

Plastic water bottles tend to take up a lot of room.  Thinking about it, it is really incredible how so many people take up storage space in their home  to store bottled water.  A  water filtration system only takes up a few square inches, and can come in many colors and styles to match your existing sink decor.

Some people drink bottled water because they think tap water will be safe.  This is a very common misconception, but it is also very misinformed.  The Food and Drug Administration does not regulate bottled water, but it does regulate tap water.  Tap water is at least somewhat safe, but you have no such guarantees with bottled water.  If you put your home water supply through a  filter, you make it even safer by removing metals and contaminants.

Now that you know a little bit more about the relative benefits of using  water filtration versus bottled water, I hope you can go out and start making wiser consumer choices.  Remember that  water filters save money, look better, and are safer as well.

The Best Under the Sink Water Filters I’ve Found

Filed under: water filters — Tags: , — @ 8:06 pm

I’d admit it. I’m a junkie when it comes to technology. They call folks like myself “early adapters”. But recently I went the other direction and started looking for simple and reliable water filters. I found my self  getting “steered” again and again to a brand called Aquasana. This brand  has a filter system that is both simple and inexpensive. I’ve had the “distillers” and the “pitcher types” and of course “Reverse Osmosis”, but I was looking for easy. I also didn’t want all of the “good” minerals taken out of the water like happens with “distillers” and “reverse osmosis”.

We picked the Aquasana AQ-4500 undercounter system. These water filters are super simple to install and very efficient. They use a twin cartridge system that has both Underwriter Laboratories approval and also rated a “Best Buy” from Consumer Digest magazine.  We got a great price from Better Water Store, and I must say that this was one of the simplest installations of any appliance that I’ve ever done.  After running the faucet for a few minutes we were “good to go”.  Thumbs up for this product.
