Water Filters vs Bottled Water,
Which Is Better for Us?

A Reverse Osmosis water filter is better than most bottled water. The best brands of bottled water use reverse osmosis filters, but many bottlers do not. Be sure and check the label..often you'll see that the water source is city water! (see NRDC report below)

Plus R O Systems offer water that plain tastes better, without the strange taste of some bottled or distilled water.

Should we trust bottled water?

Bottled water sold in the United States is not always filtered and not necessarily cleaner or safer than most tap water, according to a four-year scientific study recently made public by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

The NRDC's study included testing of more than 1,000 bottles of 103 brands of bottled water. While most of the tested waters were found to be of high quality, some brands were significantly contaminated.

About one-third of the waters tested contained levels of contamination including synthetic organic chemicals, bacteria, and arsenic (at least one sample exceeded allowable limits under either state or bottled water industry standards or guidelines).

As mentioned above, about a quarter of all bottled water is actually bottled tap water, according to government and industry estimates (some estimates go as high as 40 percent).

The NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) has some very important information on other potential problems with bottled water.

Apparently another case of, "if you want it done right, do it yourself...
We strongly recommend buying you own water filter to ensure that the water you're drinking is the safest.

After drinking your water from one of our REVERSE OSMOSIS units, the result is pure, healthy water, which tastes like it used to before man began polluting the rivers, streams, and oceans.

Henry Water Purification Systems was founded to protect the public from water health contaminants. After seeing what happen in Pineville, LA. in the month of May 2000, when the city water crew connected the Sewer Main to the Water Main. They connected a 4" white pvc sewer pipe to a 4" white pvc water pipe. Never again can the public take their water supply for granted.
These people drank sewer water for 2 1/2 months without knowing it. . After many hours of studying which purification system is the best we have determined that Reverse Osmosis is by far superior.
We have a Louisiana Master Plumber License # 3067 and can Install these units in Central LA. We also have an installer in Baton Rouge. We carry a $ 500,000 general liability policy with Ohio Casualty. All units come with an installation manual should you decide to install it yourself. If you need advice just call us. If you need help finding a plumber or installer let us know.
The next time you go to Walmart you'll see a Culligan water dispenser that says:

Purified by:
1- Sediment Filter,
1- Carbon Block Filter
1- Reverse Osmosis Membrane
1- UV (Ultra Violet Lamp, the reason they have a UV lamp is in case something goes wrong with the water system the UV lamp will kill any bacteria)
1- Polishing Filter
If this sounds like one of the products your looking at now, it is, except it is on a large dispensing unit that you pay 99 cents a gallon for. This technology has been around awhile, but just now got where the public can afford them. Plus, your big companies, like Pepsi, Coke-Cola, and your big bottling companies didn't want the public to know. Naturally it's going to put a BIG Dent in their business. It's like renting a car when you can own one.
