Choose Plumbed-in Drinking Water Systems

If youre looking to buy a water cooler in Chicago, Dennis Friedrichs of Chicagoland Water Conditioning & Purification in Morton Grove, Illinois, is just the expert you need. Having been improving water quality in Chicagos homes and businesses since 1969, Friedrichs says water coolers have come a long way in recent years, and systems that rely on bottled water are soon to be a thing of the past.

Many people associate the idea of a water cooler with a freestanding unit that delivers chilled or heated water from a replaceable plastic bottle. But these systems are not the only options available. These days, plumbed-in drinking water systems are not only more effective than bottled water coolers, but also more environmentally responsible and much more cost effective.

Problems with Bottled Water
When it comes to drinking water, many people assume that water delivered in plastic bottles is cleaner or more healthful than water that comes from the tap. But thats not necessarily true. In fact, some bottled water isnt any better for you than tap water. Unless the water that comes from your delivery service is labeled purified or filtered, it likely contains many of the same contaminants that are commonly found in tap water. Those contaminants could include chlorine (commonly used in the municipal water treatment process), heavy metals like lead, and biological contaminants (bacteria that can cause gastrointestinal illnesses).

The bottles themselves present health concerns. In reference to recent reports, some types of plastic bottles may actually allow a certain toxin called Bisphenol A (BPA) to leach into the water inside, particularly if such bottles are re-used or inadvertently heated by being left in a warm car.

Over the past few years, it has become more and more apparent that Americans obsession with bottled water is contributing to an already out-of-control waste management problem. Unfortunately, only about 15% of plastic water bottles are recycled, and discarded water bottles have become the leading cause of plastic pollution in the U.S. Not only are bottled water coolers environmentally irresponsible, theyre also incredibly expensive. The energy required to produce and distribute enough bottled water to satisfy our seemingly unquenchable thirst requires substantial expenditures of fossil fuels and contributes to ozone depletion.

Due to these concerns and a growing understanding that bottled water may not even be more healthful than water from the tap, some major cities, including Chicago, have begun to ban the use of public funds for bottled water. And people are beginning to realize that the problems associated with bottled water outweigh the potential benefits.

Perfect Drinking Water Systems
By contrast, my company offers drinking water systems that are the perfect alternative to bottled water. Our systems deliver the same convenience instant hot and cold water as a freestanding water cooler, but with the added benefit of a sophisticated filtration system. The water quality is actually much better than bottled.

Additionally, the systems used by Chicagoland Water Conditioning & Purification, offer a savings of between 35% and 70% over bottled water. The amount you save depends on how much water you use. The more water you go through on a daily basis at home or in the office, the more youll save with a plumbed-in system.

The added convenience of getting hot and cold drinking water directly from the faucet is another benefit. With a plumbed-in system, there are no heavy bottles to lift, no storage issues and no need to worry whether youll run out before the next delivery. My companys contracts with businesses include replacing water cooler filters every six to 12 months, depending on use. So youll always have access to clean, healthy, great tasting water for hot or cold beverages in an instant.
