At Better Waters, we believe that high performance water filtration resolves two important points that are otherwise in conflict:
It’s not only the volume of plastic flowing into our streams and polluting our oceans. It's all the related costs and impact of distributing those bottles. In New York City, for example, every bottle of water consumed has to be trucked in, burning gallons of fossil fuels, and impacting traffic congestion and air quality.
The filters we offer reflect our commitment to supply technologies that have a material impact on the health of people, and our planet.
When choosing a water filter, here are two points to consider:
