Saying goodbye to bottled water...
Yes, we are all aware that changing old habits means creating new ones. We have been informed that our planet is suffering from our consumption of plastic water bottles and jug deliveries. Yet, when we are confronted with giving up bottled water we resist. So, let me make another plea... Every day 3o million plastic water bottles end up in our landfills. Annually, 38 billion plastic water bottles end up in our landfills -taking 700 years before they decompose. Bottling water produces more than 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. Bottle production uses 17 million barrels of oil a year. 100,000 cars can run for 1 year on 1.5 million barrels of oil. It takes 3 liters of water to produce 1 liter of bottled water. The World Health Organization states that 80% of the Worlds illnesses are directly related to unsafe water. The FDA regulates bottled water, requiring testing every 30 days, but only for bottles crossing state lines. Otherwise they are unregulated with no testing required. The FDA has only 1 inspector to do this job for all 50 states. The EPA requires testing of your tap water 5 to 7 times daily but that is at the source not at your tap. The plastics we commonly drink our bottled water out of (#1 and #2) have been found to leach harmful chemicals into the water when they are frozen or become hot. These temperature changes can happen before you even buy them. So, we find ourselves in a dilemma. We need to transition back to our tap water safely. We need to develop a new habit and use a reusable water bottle. It is commonly known that any pressurized filtration is only effective to 20% of the water passing through its chambers and that reverse osmosis wastes water. In a gravity fed system with long term contact there is no water waste and all the water is filtered completely. www.purificawater.com is a sustainable, Eco-Friendly company that is the publics answer to transitioning back to tap water safely. The Purifica Units mimic the Earth's natural filtration process and revitalizes tap water into a pure, light, health water at 1/5 the cost of bottled water. The Purifica Filters are 90% recyclable. In fact, the filter element is 100% natural and is great for fertilizing plants after the filter life has expired.

The Purifica Premium Unit holds 3 gallons of water and is perfect for the family on the go and for all those who loves to go camping, boating, picnicing etc.. The Purifica Life Unit holds 2 gallons of water and will yield up to 110 gallons or the equivalent of 1,760 8oz bottles during the life of its filter. This unit is great for our military and for disaster relief situations such as hurricanes. The time is now! Make the change! Say hello to Purificawater.com at 1/5 the cost of bottled water!
