Let’s Talk Numbers: The Real Cost of Bottled Water

The average American household spends $300–$600 per year per person on bottled water. Multiply that by four family members and you’re looking at up to $2,400 annually—just to drink water! That doesn’t include the cost of hauling cases from the store, storing them, or the environmental cost of all that plastic waste.

Now consider this: a whole house water system typically lasts 7–10 years with zero maintenance. Over that same period, you could easily spend $16,000–$24,000 on bottled water alone. In contrast, the one-time cost of installing a whole house system is a fraction of that—and provides filtered water from every tap, not just what’s in your fridge.

More Than Just Drinking Water

With bottled water, only your drinking needs are covered. But what about showering? Brushing your teeth? Cooking? Doing laundry?

Unfiltered tap water can contain:

Chlorine and chloramines

Sediment and rust

VOCs and pharmaceutical traces

Hard minerals and tannins

These contaminants can dry your skin, fade your clothes, clog your appliances, and damage your plumbing. A whole house system filters all the water entering your home—protecting your family and your investment.

Better for the Environment

Each year, Americans throw away more than 60 million plastic water bottles—many of which end up in landfills or oceans. Choosing a whole house system drastically reduces your plastic waste and carbon footprint. It’s a smart, sustainable solution you can feel good about.
