The best water you can drink is filtered tap
water.Water from plastic bottles is laced with
xenohormone (a manmade endocrine disrupter), Phthalates and other
chemicals that are generally contrary to human health.
Colorado Springs
Utilities has always delivered some of the best water in
America. Please compare their Water Quality
Report against that of the bottled
water you drink.
The best way to take bottled water with you is to
reuse a glass bottle or buy a stainless steel bottle. The
glass bottle may cost you $2 and you'll have to be a bit careful as
to how you handle it but the water tastes better than from
plastic. The stainless steel bottle may cost you
$8-15.
Filtering your water is the best way to experience the pure,
clear water that comes from our taps. By law, all water
utilities must have a certain amount of Chlorine in the water as it
comes out of the tap. This assures that no bacteria is in your
water.
By using an inline charcoal filter, most of the
Chlorine is removed (98% or more). It is relatively easy to add an
inline filter to most refrigerator dispensed water. The cost
of the filter is about $15 per year.
