When it comes to water there are so many options you have.You could purchase spring water, a type of water that allegedly comes straight from a natural mountain stream. Or, you could always just drink tap water. The water that comes straight from your sink is packed full of government approved levels of fluoride, chlorine, and various other chemicals that might cause health problems for you later. Another option is to choose filtered water. At its core, filtered water is just your average municipal tap water that’s been run through a water filter, and that filter removes a number of toxins and chemicals that could potentially harm you and your family.

Is there an option that is healthy, cost effective, and environmentally friendly?

Drinking Water Filters Comparison

Aquasana water filters have been around for over 50 years, selling their filters under other househould names. They produce drinking water filters, shower water filters and whole house water filters. The whole house  filters themselves do not actually go on your sink or tub, but can be installed at the root of the system that branches water through your home, so that all of the water in your home is being filtered.

Water is at its best when it is free of the chemicals introduced by man. This water tastes great, is healthy, and is environmentally friendly.

Just imagine going to your sink and pouring water that is healthy to drink right away. No chemicals, no chlorine,  and nothing else that can harm you. In the shower your skin doesn’t get all dried out  from the chemicals. Your family’s healthier, you have fewer recycling duties, and none of it costs a lot of money. Doesn´t that sound wonderful?

The solution is simple: use a water filtration system capable of removing toxins and contaminants from your tap water.

I decided to try the Aquasana AQ 4000 and AQ 4500. Compared to similar filtration systems from Aqua-pure, Culligan and Everpure I found that Aquasana a) removes more contaminants and b) has a lower cost per gallon of water.

Although installation of an under-counter Aquasana water system is easy I hired a plumber to install the under sink system.

Aquasana water filter systems use cartridges made of extruded coconut shell carbon, one of which, the b cartridge (used in the countertop and under sink model) is impregnated with ATS ion-exchange sorbent resin. Both the a-cartridge and the b-cartridge are 5 microns absolute. What that means is that an element must be 200 times smaller than a human hair (a human hair is 100 microns thick) to be able to pass through the 5 micron absolute b cartridge.

Aquasana cartridges have been tested to meet or exceed NSF standards and are certified by the State of California as well. Carbon filtration, ion exchange and sub-micron filtration combine to help these dual filtration cartridges produce really healthy, safe, great-tasting water. In addition to microbial organisms such as cyst parasites (including giardia and cryptosporidium), the Aquasana dual cartridge filtration system eliminates volatile organic compounts (VOC’s), lead and other heavy metals, a gasoline by-product called mbte, and over 40 other carcinogenic contaminates and simultaneously ensures that beneficial elements like oxygen as well as natural trace minerals remain intact leaving behind spring-fresh water.

You’ll love the taste of the filtered water, it’s delicious! That awful chemical taste in my tap water, it’s totally gone after filtration. And, the water is as cheap as 9 cents a gallon.

In sum, if you are looking for a solution to your water needs that is healthy, tastes like pure water, is eco friendly and cost efficient the Aquasana water filters are an excellent choice.

Did you know…

-17 million barrels of oil are used in the production of PET(polyethylene terepthalate) water bottles every year.

-PET bottles take 400 to 1000 years to degrade. So where are we going to put all those plastic bottles knowing 86% of water bottles are not being recycled?
