Pitcher Water Filter Systems

Buying bottled water can become very expensive.  A 30 pack of .5 liter bottles of water is about $5.  Even if you drink only one bottle a day, that's still $60 dollars for the year for only 48 gallons of water.

However, the use of a pitcher water filter can get you more water for your buck.  For example:

The Brita Pitcher Water Filter is $25 with one filter included.  Additional filters are $9 each.  The average Brita user uses 6 filters per year.  This would put your yearly cost at $70.  The money saver is in the actual amount of purified water produced.   Each filter purifies 40 gallons of water.  Annually, one will purify 240 gallons of water.
