In summer, staying hydrated is the most important. However, with so many options available, many people feel confused about where to get their water from, whether to go for bottled water, or to install a reverse osmosis system. Let us understand the difference between these two so you can make the best choice for your home.
Bottled Water
Getting bottled water is the most convenient. It is easily available everywhere, from grocery stores and vending machines to gyms. No matter where you are going, you can easily grab a bottle and hydrate yourself. However, it isn’t necessarily the best choice. Typically, bottled water comes in single-use plastic bottles. A lot of these bottles end up in landfills and oceans, contributing to plastic pollution and environmental degradation.
While these bottles seem inexpensive, in the long run, their cost adds up. Many times, people don’t even realize that chemicals and microplastics from bottles, especially when left in the car in direct sunlight, leach into the water. These substances can then enter your body, causing issues like hormonal disruption and even increasing the risk of cancer.
Reverse Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis is an effective water filtration process that helps remove impurities from the water using a semi-permeable membrane. It is one of the best ways to ensure the water you drink remains safe and free of contaminants. These systems offer superior filtration by removing up to 99% of impurities, including lead, chlorine, bacteria, pesticides, and other contaminants. They provide water that is not only safe but also better-tasting.
Although investing in an RO may seem a little costly initially, when you consider how much it can help you save by reducing your need for bottled water, these systems are actually quite cost-effective. Plus, as they only need filter replacements a few times a year, their maintenance is also quite easy. By installing an RO system, you can reduce your contribution to plastic waste and lead a more sustainable lifestyle.
Water Quality
When it comes to water quality, ROs provide higher-quality water that is free from chemicals and minerals. In comparison, many bottled water brands just repackage tap water without thorough filtration. So when it comes to safety, RO water is definitely a better choice. By opting for it, you can be worry-free knowing that your loved ones are drinking water that is truly pure and safe. Plus, with an RO at home, you won’t need to go to the supermarket to stock up on heavy packs of bottled water. You can easily get pure, great-tasting water at home with your RO.
