Why You Should Consider a DuPont Water Pitcher

Why do I need to consider a DuPont PT100 Filtered Water Pitcher and PTC100 Filter Cartridge for my home?

You may be asking yourself the question of why you would need a filtered water pitcher in your home? Well, let’s start with the environment as reason number one.  Every year the demand in America to meet bottled water needs uses more than 17 million barrels of oil annually; that’s right ANNUALLY!  We could fuel 1.3 million cars or power 190,000 homes with all that oil! In the midst of using all of that oil, we are throwing away (not recycling), 38 billion water bottles. That’s more than one billion dollars worth of plastic that is wasted every year!  

Now here’s the kicker: Just one DuPont PT100 Filtered Water Pitcher replaces as much as 300 standard 16.9-ounce bottles.  If you figure that the average person lives to be 79 years of age, that’s a lot of waste saved all the way around.

Now for those that are not very concerned with the environmental impact drinking bottled water has, let’s take aim at your wallet. 

It is recommended that we drink around eight 8-ounces of water a day and that equates to about $1,400 per year spent on bottled water.  That’s assuming your bottled water is $1.00 per bottle on average.  With a DuPont PT100 Pitcher costing $16.00 and PTC100 Filter Cartridge costing$5.99 (www.airfilters.com) , you will see the savings in the first life of your filter.  The cartridge filters 40 gallons of water with normal usage equating to two months, so let’s use that in the bases of this graph that I made to illustrate the savings. 

40 gallons = 5,120 ounces; 240 gallons = 30,720 ounces; 16.9 ounces per water bottle; DuPont PT100 Pitcher includes 1 filter cartridge

As you can see, the numbers speak for themselves.  There is no denying the savings or the weird, muffled noise coming from your wallet as it sings, “Take the money and run”.

Okay, so now your wallet is singing but your taste buds are cringing at the thought of tap water but what if I told you twenty-four percent of bottled water sold and consumed in the United States is bottled municipal water. 

Honestly, if you are going to pay to drink tap water why not keep your money at home and depend on the 4-Phase Protection and Filtration of a DuPont PT100 Pitcher and PTC100 Filter Cartridge?  Just think, you will be saving and enjoying pure, clean tasting water! 

I know, I know… You are thinking, “But bottled water is more trustworthy.”  But what if I told you that is not completely accurate either?  Public water is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and they require numerous daily tests for bacteria to be done with these results being available to the public. Bottled water companies are not regulated by the EPA but by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  The FDA only requires weekly testing and does not share its findings with the public nor the EPA. This information kind of changes the notion that bottle watered is more trustworthy, doesn’t it?

The bottom line is that you cannot go wrong with purchasing a DuPont PT100 Pitcher and PTC100 Filter Cartridge.  You are out of excuses!  Summer is coming! So, start saving now so you can play more while staying hydrated for pennies on the dollar!
