Why LifeSource Water Filters are Safe for the Environment
Posted: 04/18/12

LifeSource Water Systems are an environmentally friendly water softener alternative, producing clean, safe water for drinking cooking and bathing without adding chemicals or salt, removing vital minerals, or wasting water.
 
Water softeners are not water filters, they don’t remove chlorine, dirt, or chemicals. The water they produce feels slippery, slimy and unnatural. The added sodium to soft water also makes it unsafe for lawns, plants and fish.

Water Softeners dump hundreds of pounds of sodium and salt brine into waste water streams, making water reclamation or reuse impossible. This is why self regenerating water softeners have been banned by law in many communities throughout the USA. 

LifeSource Water Systems add no salt, or chemicals and thus do not pollute fresh water resources.  LifeSource also uses a natural filter media made of a proprietary and renewable blend of coconut shell granular activated carbon. This particular filter media is a by-product of coconut food production. Furthermore, LifeSource Water Systems are powered by water pressure for very low energy consumption. 

The LifeSource Water System is self cleaning and the backwash or rinse water, is cleaner than tap water and great for irrigation. In comparison, most water softeners waste hundreds of gallons of water monthly, and reverse osmosis systems can waste as many as eight gallons of water for every gallon of filtered water produced.
 
LifeSource Water eliminates the need for bottled water by providing you with a low-maintenance, durable, and healthy alternative. Filtering your tap water is economical and safe. A gallon of bottled water can cost anywhere from 80 cents to $15. Tap water from your local water agency sold by the hundred cubic feet (HCF) costs roughly $2.50 for 748 gallons of water. One gallon of bottled water for $2.50 versus 750 gallons of clean, safe filtered water for the same $2.50; it's a no-brainer.
