倍增意味着更好的家庭预算

倍增意味着更好的家庭预算

Part of being a responsible adult – and particularly a responsible adult with a family – means setting and maintaining a budget. A family budget will include everything from utilities (gas, electric, water, and Internet), to insurance (home, auto, health, and dental), to school supplies, to work expenses, to groceries. While the monthly water utility bill should, in a perfect world, cover the cost of drinking water, the fact remains that many families end up factoring in the cost of disposable plastic bottled water into their grocery budget. Regardless of whether this is due to issues of taste or water quality, the truth is that plastic bottled water is a vastly inflated expense that may not even serve the purpose of improved quality over tap water. The truth is that the cost-effectiveness of a Multipure drinking water system offers a simple and convenient means to a better family budget.

瓶装水要花多少钱？

Disposable plastic bottled water is sold in a variety of sizes, from individual 16.9-oz or 20-oz bottles (commonly found in vending machines or single-serve beverage racks), to cases of 8-oz to 12-oz bottles of water, to large 5-gallon jugs of bottled water (often sized for use with a water cooler). Quality of the water notwithstanding, and ignoring more expensive outliers such as specialty or artisanal waters, individual bottles of water tend to be the cheapest for one unit, yet the most expensive on a per-gallon basis, while large jugs tend to be more expensive at the individual level, yet more economical on a per-gallon basis. Cases of bottled water vary, and can be cheaper or more expensive than large jugs of water.

考虑到单个水瓶通常的价格为$ 1.50（无论是16.9盎司还是20盎司）。鉴于此值，并且鉴于1加仑等于128盎司，在购买一次性水瓶时，每加仑的价格从9.60美元到11.36美元不等。

大罐瓶装水（例如，水冷却器水罐）通常为5加仑水罐的价格约为7美元，每加仑等于$ 1.40。

瓶装水的箱子的价格可能会有所不同，具体取决于瓶子的尺寸，瓶子数量和品牌。可以找到80瓶8盎司的水瓶，价格为9.50美元；以这个价格，平均每加仑1.90美元。在最低的成本上，可以找到45 16.9盎司的瓶子，价格为4.50美元；以这个价格，平均每加仑0.76美元。这些情况下最大的权衡是运输和存储大量瓶装水的巨大和重量。

现在，让我们考虑一个多元过滤器。多元Aquaversa过滤器的价格为90美元，但被评为750加仑的过滤水。每加仑水$ 0.12。在高端，多重Aqualuxe过滤器的价格为175美元，并获得了500加仑微生物学水的评级；每加仑水$ 0.35。

这意味着瓶装水的价格比乘过滤水高217％至9466％。

一个适当的家庭费用是多少？

For the sake of convenience, let us use the old standard of proper hydration: 8, 8-oz glasses of water a day, or 64-oz of water a day per person. For a family of four, this comes out to 256 oz of drinking water a day, or 2 gallons of water. That can be expanded to 14 gallons of water per week, or 730 gallons of water per year.

  • 如果这个家庭从一次性塑料壶（5加仑的尺寸）中获取饮用水，他们将需要146壶水才能在一年中满足730加仑的水。每壶7美元的费用为每年的饮用水成本为1,022美元。
  • 如果这个家庭从80包8盎司的水（等于5加仑的水）中获得饮用水，则他们每年需要购买146箱瓶装水。每年的饮用水成本为1,387美元。
  • 如果他们从单个塑料瓶（16.9盎司）中获取饮用水，那么一年中将需要5,529瓶水。费用为1.50美元，每年的饮用水成本高达8,294美元。这相当于新车上的重大下薪！

让我们将这一年度的成本与乘数系统. OneAquaversa filterprovides 750 gallons of filtered water, so one Aquaversa filter would be enough to keep this hypothetical family properly hydrated. That one Aquaversa filter costs $90 for a whole year.

This means that one Aquaversa filter can save this family anywhere from $932 to $8,203 each year in drinking water costs! And on top of this, that Aquaversa filter gives you water that can be used to wash and prepare fruits and vegetables, make coffee and tea, and cook food with. You don’t see anyone cracking open individual bottles of water for washing and cooking food!

不要让水的成本阻碍您的水合

这是什么意思呢？这意味着要依靠一次性塑料瓶装水来满足您的房屋，而家人的饮用水需求很昂贵，或者是完全不可行的。这意味着瓶装水的高成本可能会阻止家庭获得所需的合适的水分，从而饮用清洁，纯净的饮用水。这意味着塑料瓶装水可能是改善家庭健康的积极障碍。

幸运的是，正如数字所证明的那样，多重滤水器是更好的水合解决方案。乘用水过滤器为饮用水提供了一种清晰，更经济的手段。而且，与瓶装水不同，倍增具有NSF认证为了证明已经测试过过滤水以减少饮用水中的各种美学，健康和新兴污染物。作为副作用，繁殖过滤水的干净，美味的味道为糖粉果汁和软饮料提供了更健康的替代品，可能会损害儿童和家庭的健康状况。

最终，瓶装水的高成本和更有效和经济的过滤水的成本表明，乘积意味着更好的家庭预算。生命。为你。
