It’s hard to be Green…or is it? How Green are you?
Here is the impact of bottled water usage.
50 Billion plastic bottles for water were produced last year using 78 Million
gallons of oil. Only 23% of these bottles get recycled, adding 38 Billion
bottles to our landfills. To drink eight 8oz glasses of water a day, using 16 oz
bottles of water, you would use 1460 bottles of water per person per year. A
family of 4 could use as many as 5,840 bottles of water in a year. Even on sale
for $4.98 per case of 48-16oz bottles, the cost is $0.83 per gallon. This means
you spend over $600 annually on bottled water for a family of four. These
calculations do not include the environmental cost to ship and dispose of all
these bottles. Mayors in San Francisco, Ann Arbor and Salt Lake City are taking
measures to reduce bottled water use due to the environmental impact. Would you
like to help too?

Buying a long life CuZn Water filter is a good investment in sustainability.
A CuZn Water CT-101S costs $160 and lasts 8,000 to 10,000 gallons. If you are
currently buying bottled water, our system would pay for itself in as little as
4 months and save your family $6,480 over the 8000 gallon cartridge life. These
figures are based on 1,460 bottles of water per person per year at a cost of
$0.83 per gallon. Even if you only drink two 16 oz bottles per day, one person
would spend at least $75 per year for only 91 gallons at $0.83 per gallon. Our
system costs only $160 total for 8,000 to 10,000 gallons, which can last several
years. A replacement cartridge costs only $50 and would last another 8,000 to
10,000 gallons.
Additionally, you would be removing 64,000 16 oz bottles of water from
manufacture, shipping and disposal; a huge environmental impact.

Reasons to consider filtering your own water
- 50 Billion plastic water bottles are made using 78 Million gallons of
oil and 1B $ in plastic.
- 38 Billion of these bottles end up in our landfills.
- Typical bottled water costs $1 to $9 per gallon and quality varies
greatly.
- One billion (1 in 6) people worldwide don’t even have access to safe
drinking water, including 50% of Fijians while they manufacture and ship
Fiji water around the globe.
- U.S. Mayors are leading efforts to reduce bottled water use due to the
environmental impact.
Per the Canadian Water Quality Association in 4/07 issue of Water
Conditioning and Purification:
- A bather can be exposed to as much water pollution in a 20” shower as
from drinking 2 quarts of tap water in a day.
- Chlorine is toxic and irritating to the skin; think of how you feel
after swimming in a public pool.
- Taking a 20” versus a 10” shower greatly increases chlorine exposure and
the cancer risk is 13 times as high.
- GAC (carbon) is not recommended for direct hot water use like the
shower. At temperatures over 40 C (102 F), contaminants absorbed by the
carbon can slough off into the water.
- KDF showerhead filters can remove chlorine to < 0.1 ppm and remove dust,
dirt, rust and odors, leaving the water looking and smelling clean.
- The World Health Organization estimates that 75-80% of cancer may
originate in our water.
- By 1980, over 300 chemicals had been found in American drinking water.
Chlorine can combine with these contaminants to form carcinogens like TCE,
THM and more.
- Water contaminants can have a cumulative effect on the body (especially
heavy metals), mixing with toxins in our food and air.
- Water supply lines can leach contaminants into the water.
- The levels of chlorine in municipal drinking water are often higher than
health departments allow in swimming pools.
- Per an EPA study of bottled water plants, labeling of bottled water did
not correspond with the contents. Results showed trace amounts of the
following in virtually every sample: chlorine, sulfate, nitrate, lead, iron,
mercury and arsenic.
- Take responsibility for your health and helping the planet. Start with
filtering your drinking and bathing water. Better yet, filter the whole
house to gain health and economic benefits.
CuZn Water can provide high quality filtered water for only pennies per
