Water consumption is something we do from the moment we arrive on earth until the day we leave. Each of us has a required amount of water we need each and every day to flourish and grow through our lives.

Regardless of where you live. Your drinking, bathing and cooking water can (and probably does) contain contaminants — in numbers that can be harmful to your health.

People are now eating more organic fruits and vegetables. Actively seeking biodegradable products and products that have not been tested on animals. An environmental conscious is awaking in many people around the world and none more so than in water. Folks are becoming more and more concerned about the water they drink.

It’s all about the the balance. A balanced lifestyle will bring positive results. Balanced consumption will do the same.

Beginning the search for the perfect water filtration system can be exhausting and tedious, especially if you are unsure of where to start. With an abundance of systems in the market today, you can become confused with the different types of filtration and how they will benefit the water you use.

Bottled water, reverse osmosis, and distillation are three solutions that should be avoided. They will not give the quality of water a human being needs to survive.

All water filtration systems will remove some contaminants from your drinking water. Unfortunately most will leave a harmful amount in the water. Reverse osmosis and distillation removes everything — the bad contaminants and the good minerals you need from your drinking water. These two systems produce not clean water, but sterile water.

Water purification systems come in all price ranges, shapes and sizes. Doing a little research makes you aware of what many of these differences are will allow you to get a system that works.

Arguably the most popular and well known system would be Brita tm. They provide both a faucet and a fridge store-able pitcher filter. Their pricing ranges from the middle twenty dollars to the middle thirty dollars. Filtering water this way will cost you from 20 to 30 cents per gallon.

If you want cleaner water the tap filter removes more common contaminants the the pitcher filter does.

When comparing the cost between the two systems amazingly the faucet system costs less per year (Around $215) than the pitcher system (at about $275 yearly) and the faucet system does a better job.

The Aquasana AQ-4000 water filtration system will provide cleaner water for much less (about $125 year or 9.6 cents per gallon. I think the difference is clear.

If you want you drinking, cooking, and bathing water clean — remember only the Aquasana AQ-4000 system will remove from 93% – 99% of the 11 most common contaminants found in our water supplies.

At only $172.99 per year total cost for the Aquasana AQ-4000 system. Less really is more!
