Bottle Battle - Bottling Your Own Water
One of Aquasana’s taglines is “bottle your own”. Bottling your own water keeps disposable plastic water bottles out of landfills and reduces the extensive carbon footprint from their distribution. Our drinking water filtration systems can replace anywhere from 2400 to 4500 plastic bottles per filter set. Our Clean Water Machine is equal to 2,400 disposable plastic water bottles.

To bottle your own water, first you need a water filter, but you also need a bottle. The bottle options are staggering. There are entire aisles of different bottles: glass, stainless steel, plastic, insulated, with flavor chambers, disposable, collapsible. This list is endless and it can leave consumers wondering which one is the best choice.
GLASS BOTTLES
Glass is boss in the bottle category. It is the best way to store both food and liquids for several reasons. Glass offers “purity of taste” – it doesn’t impart any flavors into the water or whatever liquid is in the bottle. Glass also offers peace of mind. Many plastic, and some metal, vessels contain bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical the FDA began warning about in 2010. Glass is chemical free, made from natural materials, and dishwasher safe. When buying a glass bottle, there are a few things to look for:
- Has it been tested for lead and cadmium content? Make sure it has been tested and that neither are present – it’s that simple.
- There are different types of glass. Borosilicate is the top of the line – think Pyrex®. This stuff can withstand high and low temps without shattering and is lighter and less prone to break. Soda lime glass or traditional glass are also great options that are less expensive.
