What are the benefits of bottled drinking water?

It's with you wherever you go

Water - it will determine your state of health or disease.

Walk into any store today and you will see shelves lined with bottled drinking water. Should you buy them? Which ones? Or should you drink tap water? Or what about buying and installing your own water filter? Decisions, decisions, decisions...

Generally, what is the biggest benefit of bottled water? CONVENIENCE - no doubt about it. It is a lot easier to grab a bottle of water than to access water through other sources. Tap water - would you risk drinking it? Depending on where you live, it's either free or very cheap but, in most cases, it tastes terrible. In addition, there's the unknown risk of the quality as you move from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Tap water quality varies widely from one geographical region to the next.

What about installing your own water filter or filtration system? You will need to research the various methods of filtration and decide for yourself which one is most desirable for you. Then, there is the cost of the filters and its installation and maintenance (if filters need replacing on a regular basis). But even if you filter your own water, what happens when you leave your home - like when you travel, for example? What do you drink then? Usually, bottled water is the answer.

Another inexpensive alternative is to install a water cooler in your home and/or office and having water either delivered to you or refill the bottles yourself at your local store. There is the cost of the cooler to consider, but once you've paid for it, the water tends to be relatively inexpensive. Again, what happens if you travel? You certainly can't take your water cooler with you. That's when bottled water becomes a viable option.

What about carrying your own bottle and refilling if from your favorite source? This is a very popular option, especially for active people who use their own bottles before, during or after exercise. You control the water you put into your "traveler" and you can add whatever you want to it. Yet again, if you travel, it's impractical. Another consideration lately is the type of plastic used in your personal bottle. Some bottlers today are very aware of this and use safer resins (non-BPA) when bottling water.

The last consideration is the technologies available to bottlers today versus what you can do on your own. There is no way you can have access to the multitude of technologies that bottlers have today when bottling water.

Which brings us back to the choices available in bottled water. It's both a blessing and a curse that you have so many choices. Take a look at the source of the bottled drinking water, the technologies used (if any) to purify the water and what they've added to the water.

Knowing you are faced with the challenges discussed above and assuming you are concerned about you and your family's health and safety, we have done the research for you to narrow down your choices to the best bottled drinking water we could find.
