July 23, 2010, Newsletter Issue #224: Use Glass Containers When Making Your Own Bottled Water

Tip of the Week

When you learn how to make your own bottled water, you'll need to decide what type of containers you'll use to store your filtered drinking water. The vast majority of pre-packaged bottled water comes in plastic containers. However, using plastic bottles is not the ideal solution for bottling filtered water.

It's much better to store your bottled filtered water in glass containers than in ones made from plastic. When water is stored in plastic containers, it takes on the flavor of the container after a period of time. When you store fresh water in a glass water bottle, it will maintain it's fresh and clean taste. Drinking water that tastes like pure water is certainly more pleasant than drinking water that carries a faint flavor of plastic.

Storing filtered water in plastic containers also impacts the purity of the water. As water sits in a plastic bottle, it starts to become contaminated by plastic byproducts that leack from the container into the water. When you filter the contaminants out of your drinking water, the last thing you want to do is store the water in a container that causes it to pick up new chemical contaminants. Glass water bottles do not contribute to water contamination.

Do You Need A Shower Filter?

While everyone might not "need" a shower filter, everyone can certainly benefit from using a quality shower water filtration system.

People with respiratory problems, skin disorders or people who live on water systems that use chlorinated surface water, and most do, certainly should use shower filters.

Asthma, bronchitus, eczema and many other common ailments are very negatively affected by inhalation and absorption of chlorine and other chemicals while showering. Breast, colon and bladder cancer have all been linked to exposure to chlorine from drinking and shower water.
"Cancer rates for people on chlorinated water systems is 93% higher than for those on non-chlorinated water systems..." U.S. Council On Environmental Quality

Shower filters also offer great cosmetic benefits. Chlorine robs the skin and hair of their natural protective oils and "friendly bacteria", causing dryness, premature aging and many other potential health and asthetic problems.

Shower filters are easy to install, easy to use... and can be a very healthful and enjoyable addition to our daily lives.
