Gimme the Good Stuff
There's no doubt about it, you want what's good for your kids - like water. But all water is not created equal. Filtered water is a healthier choice than regular drinking water and is
available at one-tenth the cost of bottled water.
Why filtered water is best
- PUR removes 98% of lead, 99.9% of microbial cysts and reduces many other contaminants that can be found in tap water.
- PUR removes over 97% of chlorine (taste & odor).
- PUR reduces sediment such as dirt, rust and sand that may be found in tap water.
- PUR reduces contaminants, but leaves the fluoride that helps your kids have healthy teeth.
- You can trust PUR filtered water to be clean and healthy.* Bottled water, on the other hand, can contain many of the same contaminants as non-filtered tap water since the FDA does not place higher quality restrictions on bottled water products.
*Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
