If you’ve been going back and forth between purchasing water filtration system or getting bottled water delivered to your home, this is the blog you’ve been waiting for!
Water is EVERYTHING. It’s everywhere and it makes up most of our composition as human beings. So when it comes to making a decision on whether to get bottled water vs. in-home filtration, you want to make sure to make the most informed and educated decision that also aligns with your needs and lifestyle.
So to help you decide, we’ve created a pros and cons list of what each service brings to the table.
First, let’s discuss home water delivery.
Home Water Delivery
Water cool chatter can be had right in your very own home, because that’s most likely what you’ll be using if you have a water delivery subscription.
Home water delivery quite literally means bottled water being delivered right to your doorstep.
Large jugs of water are delivered to your home each month to allow you to have fresh and clean drinking water. This ensures that you aren’t drinking hard water, or water that contains harsh chemicals or other contaminants that can give the water a bad taste.
This helps you cut down on plastic water bottles and the waste that accumulates when you go through case after case.
With home water delivery, that’s about it for the pros.
Cons?
There is no help to the rest of the water quality throughout the home that can be negatively effecting your clothes, body , plumbing and more.
There is a also significant cost difference between having water brought to you vs. having a water filtration system at home.
Yes, there are upfront costs to installing a water filtration system, but there are many more “pros” to an in-home system that outweigh the initial costs.
You may also deal with noisy water coolers, the annoyance of having to replace the heavy jugs and finding a place to store the spare full/empty jugs until they are replaced.
What’s more, you will have large trucks driving through your streets to deliver these heavy bottles. They spew exhaust and damage the roadways.
So let’s talk about in-home filtration systems.
In-Home Water Filtration Systems
In Texas, we have hard water. We talk about this all the time. On our quest to teach you about Water Basics, we have to discuss the detriment and havoc that hard water wreaks on your home and even on your body.
When dealing with hard water, bottled drinking water just won’t cut it. Stopping hard water before it enters your home is the key. Which is what in-home filtration systems do.
Hard water doesn’t just affect the water you drink. It affects your plumbing, can cause issues with clothing and dry out your hair and skin.
So another con of bottled water delivery? It doesn’t solve the entire water quality problem throughout your home.
That is a PRO to the in-home filtration system. You’ll find that the softened, filtered water helps keep your dishes and clothes cleaner, process you with the cleanest and purest drinking water and also helps to reduce the wear and tear on your pipes, plumbing and faucets.
Our previous blogs discuss the details of how the whole home system works to remove hard water particles and filter out other contaminants and chemicals.
