# Aquasana Water Purification Systems
Reading any of the local news releases on the quality of water makes you think about adding a water purification system. The amount of contaminants that exist in our water supply can’t possibly be taken out by our local municipal water company. They do a good job within their abilities. However, they certainly don’t take out all of the contaminants, just make the water “safe”. That doesn’t mean they have taken out all of the contaminants that they aren’t required to remove. The list of contaminants that they aren’t required to remove is to long to post here! So what is the solution? Adding a filter system at our own homes right before they fill the glass is the only real way to assure yourself of getting the best quality water.
We choose the Aquasana purification systems available through Better Water Store. They have a complete selection of water filtration devices. We looked over all of the filters and decided on the Aquasana AQ-4500 under counter system. This one hundred forty three dollar unit included free shipping and was super easy to install in our home. The AQ-4500 is a Consumer Digest “Best Buy” and comes with a easy to replace twin-cartridge filter system. What is really amazing about the system is the cost per gallon of filtered water. It costs less than 10 cents a gallon! A Britta filter runs over 40 cents and bottled water and much as a dollar or more.
