The importance of clean water for every family cannot be overstated. With the growing trend of using bottled water, companies such as AquaBare have set out to develop affordable and efficient gravity fed water filtration systems.
These systems allow you to get clean, healthy drinking water without having to purchase expensive bottled water. Gravity fed filters eliminate the need for electricity and large reservoirs while maintaining optimum mineral content in your drinking water.
There are many different types of contaminants that can find their way into our bodies by simply drinking tap water. Lead, mercury, chlorine and fluoride are just some examples of what is commonly found in public drinking sources. Chlorine is used to purify most municipal waters but it leaves harmful residuals that are present in tap water across the country.
Proper filtration can remove these harmful chemicals as well as other contaminants such as dirt, dander and parasites that may be found in your water. Gravity fed filters are portable which means that you have the freedom to take them with you when you travel or leave home for an extended period of time. Gravity fed filters never require a power source so they won’t become useless if a storm causes a blackout. Because of this, Aqua Bare and their competitors are very popular amongst survivalists and outdoorsmen.
Countertop water filtration systems are a convenient and practical choice for everyone. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate most household needs. For those that want clean, filtered drinking water without making too big of an investment, countertop filters are the perfect option. If budget is of no concern to you, there are many different filtration systems including countertop purifiers, UV sterilizers, alkaline mineralizers, RODI systems, and many more.
That being said, in the event of a black out or other emergency, your expensive, built in water filtration system will stop working. If you have a traditional gravity fed water filtration system, you will still have access to clean filtered water as long as it’s available from your tap or a clean natural source.
While bottled water does solve all of the problems a countertop system solves, you will be spending a lot more time and money than you would on your own gravity fed system, and that isn’t even considering the plastic pollution, or the fact that you can’t be certain that bottled water is actually filtered, or the fact that you will need to drive somewhere to buy this water, which means you would need to dedicate space to stockpiling water for an emergency, as opposed to using a low profile system that purifies tap or well water.
Gravity fed countertop water filters are excellent for preppers, campers, hikers and even people who don’t want to spend a lot of money on bottled water. Gravity fed filtration systems filter your water so that you can drink it without worrying about impurities like chlorine, heavy metals or chemicals. This means that they remove the unhealthy taste (and smell) from your tap water which would otherwise keep you from drinking enough. It also means that boiling or distilling your water isn’t necessary when you use these units, since the purification process is already built in, although when consuming water from a less than ideal source you should always play it safe.
