Why Filtered Water Is Preferred Over Bottled Water

In our fast-paced lifestyle, the option of drinking water out of a bottle, readily available at every nook and corner, is convenient. However, the truth is that it does you more harm than good.

The universal truth about the environmental follies of using plastic is known to all, but very few know about the kind of problems it could cause to your body. Bottled water contains a chemical called Bisphenol A (BPA) which when exposed to heat might turn to ‘bad oestrogen’ and could result in various types of cancer. And this is just one of the harmful chemicals that laces the inner part of the plastic water bottle. Other chemicals include Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), and Phthalate.

The former is used to make softer plastic water bottles making them easily susceptible to saliva, food residue and other contaminants when reused, and the latter, is used to make the plastic especially polyvinyl chloride (PVC) bottles more flexible. PVC incidentally is known to be the world’s most toxic form of plastic.

This is just the health aspect of the harmful effects of bottled water. There is also the belief that the purity of bottled water is questionable. Not to mention the unnecessary expenditure of buying bottle after bottle instead of sourcing drinking water from a proven and trusted name in water purifiers. That is where Eureka Forbes’ innovative and technologically advanced Water Purification System comes in, to give your family the good health they deserve.
