Pass Up Those Plastic Bottles

. . .  and use our new Beyond Health Water Bottle! 

Not only is bottled water expensive, but its quality is often no better than tap water, and the plastic bottles it comes in are bad for your health and bad for the environment.

Although some are worse than others, all plastics leach chemicals, and both the plastic bottles used for single-servings and the big 5-gallon polycarbonate water bottles leach hormone disruptors, like bisphenol-A (BPA).  Meanwhile, our environment is littered with billions of pounds of used plastic bottles, only 25% of which get recycled. Bottled water is also about 2,000 times more energy intensive to produce and distribute than tap water.

The best approach is to treat your own water and use your own water bottles. Unfortunately it’s been difficult to find a water bottle that doesn’t also leach toxic chemicals. Until recently, the only bottles I’ve been able to recommend are glass bottles, which are heavy and inconvenient. However, I’ve now been able to approve, and we now carry, the Beyond Health Water Bottle , a stainless steel water bottle that meets my safety standards for carrying drinking water, and it’s lightweight and easy to use.

Take advantage of our special offer of a free water bottle  with your purchase of our RO home water treatment system !

Save Thousands of Dollars on Drinking Water

 . . . yet get the highest quality water available anywhere

Every dollar counts these days, yet people waste thousands a year on bottled water. Concerns about public tap water are valid — most of it is not fit to drink — but you can get the highest quality water available anywhere for pennies per gallon and save thousands a year. 

If a family of four were each to drink the recommended 8 glasses of water a day (1/2 gallon) and use another 3-4 cups for cooking, the family would use about 1,000 gallons a year. 

At Safeway, a grocery chain in California, mountain spring water, in either individual liter-sized bottles or cases of 8-12 oz. bottles, costs from $3.84 to $8.96 a gallon. Our family above would pay from $3,840 to $8,960 yearly for this water. A more economical choice would be buying Safeway’s cheapest distilled or mountain spring water in gallon-sized bottles at .89 a gallon, or $890 a year.

But the best bargain by far would be to get a Beyond Health Reverse Osmosis (RO) home water treatment system  for $399.95 (shipping included). A thousand gallons of tap water costs only a few dollars, so in the first year, the family would pay about $400 for as much as 3,900 gallons before having to change the filter. After the first year, maintaining our RO system  by replacing filters and membrane costs about $100 a year. That’s up to 3,900 gallons for $100 — about 2-1/2 cents per gallon.

But you’re not only paying far less for your water with our RO system , you’re getting the highest quality available anywhere. Studies show that the bottled water you get at the store will almost certainly be contaminated with all kinds of pollutants; much of it isn’t any better than tap water. Our RO system provides a combination of carbon block and RO filtration that eliminates 98% of all water pollutants. Cheaper filtration systems have only the carbon block; they remove chlorine and organic compounds, but leave in fluoride, nitrates, heavy metals and radioactive elements. 

I spent two years looking for the best value in home water treatment. There were systems that were far more expensive than ours, but they didn’t offer enough additional benefit to warrant the extra cost. Cheaper systems, however, didn’t do the job properly, and because they were built with inferior materials and/or design, they were sources of additional contamination. (For more details on my search, see “Reverse Osmosis from Beyond Health” in our Article Archives .)

If you want the best value in home water treatment systems on the market today, the system I use in my own home, invest in a Beyond Health RO home water treatment system !
