As I’ve shared in the past, I was born on the Oregon Coast
and grew up in a town about 30 minutes outside of Portland, an hour from the
mountains; skiing or hiking…you take your pick. It was a short drive to the
ocean and not far from a plethora of lakes, rivers, and other country side
scenic bodies of water adventures.
As a kid I ran for hours on end stopping only for food and
water…yes, water!
I loved it straight from the tap, hose, or even the bathroom
sink. It was cold, naturally sweet, and free flowing; no one ever said no to a
kid asking for a drink of water.
Now fast forward a few light years when I relocated to New
Mexico. Roasting green chilies, sunshine in your face, and an abundant supply
of water…yucky, nasty, I swear I won’t even brush my teeth with it water.
My days of pure sweet straight from the sink water were
over.
I did what any water loving girl would do; I bought it.
Unbeknownst to me I started filling the landfills with gobs
and gobs of empty water bottles; I just didn’t think about it. Each day in
America over 60 million plastic bottles are produced, filled, transported and
disposed of in U.S. landfills from bottled water use.
Okay so fast forward to the part where I start comprehending
plastics, recycling, and energy conservation. Envision me and my twenty
thousand bags of bottles every week at the recycling center. It wasn’t so bad
until the man child and his apprentice discovered their love of water as well.
Well the water lugging is getting too expensive in our house
filled with water snobs.
But If you are like me who believe in doing their part for
the environment by following the reduce, reuse, recycle mantra then you
probably are like many who have begun carrying a water bottle that you can
refill…..I’m not filling it with that nasty tap water.
Well unless it’s filtered :0)
Home water filters
have gained wide spread popularity in recent years. As the most logical,
convenient and economical solution for high-quality water, water filters offer
many benefits over tap water and bottled water. Water Filters are also better
for our Planet!

Water filtration offers higher quality than bottled water and the convenience of tap. For 10 cents a gallon you can have great-tasting, healthy, chemical-free water for drinking, preparation of beverages and cooking... all at the touch of a button!
We need the essential fluid of water normal function of systems within our bodies but I want it to be in the healthiest and purest form available for my family, that’s why my filtration of choice is the Aquasana Countertop Drinking Water Filter, AQ-4000P, a twin filter system that allows the passage of naturally occurring trace minerals thus ensuring the high quality of the water it produces.
Adding to the savings the Aquasana Countertop Drinking Water Filter, AQ-4000P is super easy to install, rather that re-pipe your kitchen this counter top option works with your existing set up and attaches right to your kitchen faucet.
Plus there are 3 color options for the plastic covering of
the system that are neutral enough to match any kitchen décor.

Do you know if it filters out Fluoride? I am concerned about the amount of fluoride in our towns drinking water and thus I am torn between getting an Aquasana or a Crystal Quest Filtering system for my house. I know that Crystal Quest filters out Natural occurring and added Fluoride, however I am unable to find out any information from the Aquasana page if they filter out Fluoride too.
