Bottled Water or Water Purifier – Which one is better?

The word indispensable goes the most with water. We need water in all forms and drinking water is something on which living beings survive.

People have started opting for bottled water in order to get the purest form of drinking water. But, is it really so? Does bottled water give us a healthier and purer form of water?

We can figure this out with the help of certain points.

• When you choose water purifier, the quality will not be compromised as you will get mineral enriched water; however, the same cannot be guaranteed for bottled water.
• When you opt for bottled water, you will get a definite and fixed amount of water which you can put to control use. On the contrary, having water purifier entitles you to use as much water as you need.
• There have been multiple instances when impure bottled water led to diseases like cholera, but no such reports were found for water obtained from water purifier.

Many recent studies have brought this to notice that there are various brands which are using untreated tap water as bottled water. It is the time we should think about opting for water purifiers which are undoubtedly the best and the right option.

In order to help you in getting a clear view of the cost involved in both these techniques, here is a comparison chart.
