~ Guest Giveaway Post by Closer To Lucy
I was born on the Oregon Coast and grew up in a town about 30 minutes outside of Portland, an hour from the mountains; skiing or hiking…you take your pick. It was a short drive to the ocean and not far from a plethora of lakes, rivers, and other country side scenic bodies of water adventures.
I was born on the Oregon Coast and grew up in a town about 30 minutes outside of Portland, an hour from the mountains; skiing or hiking…you take your pick. It was a short drive to the ocean and not far from a plethora of lakes, rivers, and other country side scenic bodies of water adventures.
As a kid I ran for hours on end stopping only for food and water…yes, water!
I loved it straight from the tap, hose, or even the bathroom
sink. It was cold, naturally sweet, and free flowing; no one ever said no to a
kid asking for a drink of water.
Now fast forward a few light years when I relocated to New
Mexico. Roasting green chilies, sunshine in your face, and an abundant supply
of water…yucky, nasty, I swear I won’t even brush my teeth with it water. My days of pure sweet straight from the sink water were over. I did what any water loving girl would do; I bought it.
Unbeknownst to me I started filling the landfills with gobs
and gobs of empty water bottles; I just didn’t think about it.
Okay so fast forward to the part where I start comprehending plastics, recycling, and energy conservation. Envision me and my twenty thousand bags of bottles every week at the recycling center. It wasn’t so bad until the man child and his apprentice discovered their love of water as well.
Not only did our water budget break the bank and my lugging
of plastics double but I was unassisted…brats!
Something had to give.
If you’ve ever looked into the quality of your local water then you know
it’s full of TDS (total dissolved solids)…which equals yucko! My area’s average
TDS is about 198..but I just checked mine straight from the faucet and it’s
269, GROSS! You know I wasn't about to go back to the faucet. NO WAY!
I took a good look at some of the filter systems available.
I knew it had to be one that I could keep filled up and in the fridge because
the boys will only drink cold water.
The ZeroWater filtration system combines FIVE
sophisticated technologies that work together to remove virtually all dissolved
solids from your tap water, delivering you great tasting water. This 23-cup
system comes with the largest capacity filter dispenser on the market today,
our patented Ion Exchange filter, a laboratory-grade water testing meter, and a
guarantee to remove virtually all dissolved solids from your tap water.
ZeroWater's first layer of filtration, activated carbon and oxidation reduction
alloy removes the chlorine taste you are accustom to with tap water. The Ion
Exchange stage removes virtually all dissolved solids that may be left over
from public water systems or even leached into your water from piping such as
Aluminum, Lead, Zinc, Nitrate and more.
I mean seriously
have you seen this?
It’s pretty amazing
stuff; my 268 reading is now a whopping ZERO!!!!
I love it! We are
now drinking funk free water that tastes like water should, saving money and
making far less trips to the recycling center.
When our filter
needs replaced we will be taking part in the recycling program that is just
about ready to be up and running. Not only will it save us even more money but
it will lessen our footprint.
I so happy to be loving water again!
This is the perfect gift for anyone on your list that loves water and anyone that is environmentally conscious.
Or
Win it!
