According to a new independent study by the
WWF, Bottled Water: Understanding a social phenomenon, commissioned by WWF, bottled water
and office water coolers may be no safer, or healthier than from the tap in many countries
while selling for up to 1000 times the price. Yet, it is the fastest growing drinks
industry in the world and is estimated to be worth US$22 billion annually.
The study reveals that this market is partly fuelled by concerns over the safety of
municipal sources and by the marketing of many brands which portray them as being drawn
from pristine sources and as being healthier than from the tap. However, some
bottled sources only differ from the tap in the fact that they are distributed in
bottles rather than through pipes. In fact there are more standards regulating
tap sources in Europe and the US than those applied to the bottled and office
coolers industry.

world's largest and most effective independent organization dedicated to the conservation
of nature.
We also sell replacement cartridges for all of the omni
purifiers. If you are unsure which filter is right for you, see below .
“Point of Entry” (POE) Whole House Water
Filters
First, we recommend that you install a high-flow Whole House
filter where the line comes into your house. This Whole House filter will reduce rust and
sediment picked up from the pipes that deliver to your residence from your well or
municipal system. This first cleaning will protect your appliances
(hot water heater, clothes washer, dishwasher, humidifier, toilets, showers, etc.)
from the wear caused by rust and sediment. An OMNI Whole House filter will also remove
much of the chlorine that can cause itchy skin and damage your clothing.
“Point of Use” (POU)
Then we recommend you install an OMNI
high-contaminant-removal filter in your kitchen (or bathroom) where it is used for cooking
and drinking. Called “Point of Use” purifiers, these units remove contaminants
and provide clean, safe, great tasting refreshment on demand. Select from our:
