Did you know you have the best source for your drinking water right in your kitchen? So many times we think the water is purer in a bottle or from a spring, but ask yourself this question - "Why do I use a refrigerator to keep my food cold, rather than an ice box? " Of course, you have a refrigerator because you trust both energy and refrigeration technology. With a good refrigerator, you don't have to lug home ice to keep your food cold, and with a good water filter, you don't have to lug home bottles of water for your drinking and cooking needs. You can trust technology! Therefore, how do you find the best water purifier for your home?
