Tap your tap to conserve water and more

MANILA, Philippines - Water shortage or not, the need to conserve water in this day and age is a wake-up call for Filipinos, particularly those living in the city. With the water crisis in Metro Manila far from over, it is more apparent that long-term lifestyle changes rather than knee-jerk reactions are the order of the day.

 Installing an effective household water purification device will be more inexpensive — and water usage-efficient — than regularly purchasing bottled water or purified water from supermarkets and water filling stations. Reverse osmosis systems, commonly used by water stations, discards up to 70 percent of the water it processes. For every one gallon of water produced, three to five gallons are wasted, which makes for a very costly and uneconomical way to use water.

 On the other hand, efficient home filters can save gallons of water and pesos, providing about a year’s supply of water (depending on the size of the family and consumption habits). Everpure filters can provide safe, great-tasting drinking water straight from the tap at a lower cost.

 The H-54 Countertop Drinking Water System from Everpure is the ideal filter for use in homes because for a few pesos per gallon, it is less expensive per glass than bottled water or other drinking water systems. Families can expect savings of approximately 50 percent on their drinking water costs over a period of three years. 

 For instance, in three years, a family may consume an average of 300 bottles of water per year at P35 each, amounting to P31,500. Conversely, the H-54 Countertop, which costs P5,000, plus three filter changes (at P2,912 each; a filter lasts approximately six to eight months, depending on inlet water quality and pressure) will cost only P13,837 over the same amount of time.

 On top of being cost-effective, it removes unwanted tastes and odors, and reduces lead amounts in water as well as parasitic protozoan cysts and microscopic particles.

 Distributed exclusively in the Philippines by Clear Water Systems (CWS) Philippines Inc., Everpure is the most recognized water treatment brand in the food industry, serving over 250,000 restaurants worldwide.
