Food, water, and shelter—three of the basic human needs that none of us can do without. In most places in America, it never even occurs to us to worry about these things. We have access to clean water and household water filters that can provide for those of us who get the heeby-jeebies from tap water. Most of us can just push a button and get clean water straight from our refrigerators. But, knowing that, what would you do if the water suddenly ran out?

“Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink.” That famous line from “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is hyper-relevant to the seafarer, even in modern times.

Some New Year’s resolutions are so hard to stick to. As we make them, we already know what a challenge it will be to maintain them for an entire year. Switching to purified water in 2018, however, is a resolution that is easy to keep and provides a wide variety of benefits to you and your family. For 2018, resolve to switch to purified water; you’ll be glad you did!

Is there anything more refreshing than cold, filtered water straight from the fridge? Studies have shown the numerous health advantages of filtered water, including reduced exposure to water-borne pathogens, industrial chemicals and pharmaceuticals, as well as the preservation of essential minerals. Moreover, built-in water and ice dispensers are a welcome convenience for your family, and they are a great eco-friendly option to reduce the number of plastic bottles you use.
