They are easy to grab and go and are stored in our mini-fridge for easy accessibility. I hadn't heard about any health problems - what kind of problems?

I wouldn't filter your whole water supply, only the water used in the kitchen. You're not going to die from 'lead entering through your pores' or something like that. High PH and iron are non-issues: http://www.watersystemscouncil.org/VAiWebDocs/WSCDocs/9709284pH_Update_September_2007.pdf http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/water/dwg/iron.htm They change the taste, but are not bad for your health in any way. You either have to learn how to live with the taste or drink tea/soup. http://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/drinking/private/wells/disease/lead.html

It is a water bottle with a built in filter. They are trying to reduce the environmental impact of bottled water. Also, some profits from each bottle sold go towards getting clean water to villages without it.

It's amazing even in the terrible economy so many people are paying a premium for bottled water. People don't seem as concerned how their food is produced (i.e., factory farms for animals, pesticides on fruits and vegetables, etc.) Why is tap water so gross? As for the recycling, it's astounding. In my apartment complex, I see people throwing recyclables in the trash, even though the recycling bin is right next to the trash bin. Laziness? Ignorance? Arrogance? All three? Thank you for this post! It’s amazing even in the terrible economy so many people are paying a premium for bottled water.
