The Aesthetic Quality of Water

Posted by Rayne Water

Drinking water systems  are a much better choice for all households because they are better for the environment and will reduce chemicals, contaminants, or other potential organisms that could be the culprits for bad smells or tastes in your tap water.
June 24 is Celebrate the Senses Day – so plan a big meal and drinks for your family and loved ones. Food and drink is one of the most appealing and important jobs for the senses. We can determine if we want to eat or drink something often times through the smell or taste of it. Using tap water that smells or tastes poor can often ruin it. But bottled water is expensive and not an eco-friendly option. It would be inefficient to rely on plastic water bottles for cooking and drinking all of the time. Likewise, recycling plastic bottles has become a major concern in this country. In fact, when it came to disposable bottles just a few years ago, 2,480,000 tons of plastic bottles and jars were thrown away in one year. About 80% is not recycled, leaving landfills full of plastic waste that doesn’t break down. 60 billion single-use drink containers were purchased in 2006, and 3 out of 4 were thrown out directly after use.
The best solution is a drinking water system which will effectively reduce harmful contaminants which could be causing the smell or taste in your tap water. It will provide better tasting water that is safe to consume and your food and drinks will instantly taste better too. Your senses will actually enjoy drinking more water! One of our features on our most advanced drinking water filter is our taste controls where the user can actually choose the amount mineral content for Spring Water, Drinking Water, or Purified Water flavors. Eliminating certain factors from your drinking water will give you an instant improvement and remove all embarrassment that you may have when your guests drink your water. Make the eco-friendly and efficient decision to invest in a drinking water system that reduces water waste and is good for the environment. Stop settling for drinking water that you cannot stand to drink.
