Choosing Filtered Water

How is it easy to come to the conclusion that filtered water is better than tap water?  Well, the taste alone should be the most obvious way to come to that conclusion.  Water should not taste like anything at all; it is water after all.  But somehow you can taste the chlorine that usually comes with water that comes straight from your house's tap system.  For most people it is just the way things are so they shrug their shoulders and live with it.  Thankfully, that is not the only option.  Filtered water is available with the right filtration equipment attached to your home's tap system.

Besides tap water, filtered water also beats out bottled water because by installing a filtration system into your house you will avoid spending a lot of money on a weekly or semi-weekly basis buying economy packages of bottled water.  Considering the origin of the water in bottled water is questionable at best, you can at least rest assure that the filtered water from your tap is as clean as possible.  Clean, as well as great-tasting thanks to the filter.

Before buying your next batch of bottled water or turning on your faucet, consider buying a water filter for your home.

Cuno Filters Improve the Home

When most people hear the words "home improvement" they automatically think of painting the walls and ceilings; remodeling each room or placing new wood floors; choosing carpets and placing them in rooms and so on. Most people do not think about installing Cuno water filters as a way to improve the home but it definitely is!

Cuno water filters allows homeowners to drink water that actually tastes good.  Tap water, for the most part, tastes like the chemicals that were used to help clean it for public consumption.  This is kind of a strange thing to write considering water is not supposed to taste like anything at all.  Typically, this is the chemical chlorine. You might also have to contend with the fact that the water may actually smell like chlorine as well. That is not something to look forward to.

Another problem associated with tap water is that sometimes when you fill a glass up with the stuff, the water might be cloudy. The dusty water is mostly minerals that settled into the water before the faucet was turned on. The excess minerals are not harmful but it is very unsightly and gives tap water a almost indescribable strange taste to it that is far from pleasant.

Want a very practical way to improve your home?  Install a water filter onto your system.

Opting for an Oasis Water Dispenser

At the same time my office was getting its new water cooler, I also got my own water cooler for home use.  i ordered mine at about the same time as the office did; we had ordered the Oasis water dispenser.

Since we were moving into a new office space we decided to ditch the old water dispenser for a brand new model and someone - I think it was the CEO - suggested we go with the Oasis water dispenser.  When he brought that up the light bulb flashed in my mind: I should get my own water dispenser.  And what is more, I should get that very same model.

I absolutely cannot stand tap water.  I am very much aware that it is clean and more than drinkable and I do use it to cook and clean, but drinking it is another story entirely.  The chlorine taste I find extremely revolting.  If push came to shove, yes, I could and would drink tap water.  But since I am not forced to drink tap water - thankfully - my new water dispenser will see heavy use for a long time to come.

If you are looking for another option for clean water that is not tap, look to this water dispenser.

Don't Drink Tap When You Have an Oasis Water Dispenser

It makes no sense to me why anyone would want to drink regular tap water when things like the Oasis water cooler exists.  From personal experience tap water has never ever tasted anywhere near as good with its strong chlorine taste and odor.  There have even been time where the water has come out foggy which is an obvious no-go for me.  Or anyone else for that matter.  I've talked to people about these problems and almost all of them have said I should just turn the faucet on for a couple of seconds prior to drinking it.  I was taken aback by this because this method sounds like a complete waste of water.  I would have to do this every single time I drink water from the tap?  No thank you.

Having a water cooler or attaching an Aqua Pure filter to my tap water line is the only way to drink water as far as I am concerned.  Tap water is just way too disgusting for me to even consider drinking.  I would use it to boil food, wash produce and the like, and shower in but that is definitely about it.  With all of this in mind, consider skipping tap water.
