Choosing Filtered Water Wisely
Many of us drink filtered, purified, or bottled water on a daily basis. We do this for a variety of reasons from health concerns to taste preference. Here are a few practical ideas on how to green your water use.
1. Choose Filtered Over Bottled – Not only will you not be throwing away or recycling plastic bottles (even recycled bottles require a lot more energy than reusable containers), but you will also be reducing the energy costs of manufacturing, delivering the bottles to your grocer, and driving the bottles back to you home.
2. Choose the Right Filter - Check that your water filtration system meets NSF/ANSI Standard 53 to ensure a higher quality water filtration.
3. Change Filters Regularly – When you install your filter, take the time to read the instructions on how often to change the filter. If you do not follow this advice, you may actually make your water more harmful by filtering.
