If you are using bottled water...
If you are using bottled water, you are likely doing so because you trust the taste and quality of bottled water over tap water.
The best way to get crystal clear, wonderful tasting water is to use a water cooler with our water filter. If you do not want cold water, you can use any standard crock. You simply fill any standard water bottle (a bottle intended for use with water coolers or water crocks, such as one of our commercial-quality 3-gallon polycarbonate bottles) with tap water from your kitchen sink and set it on top of our filter that you have placed on the top of your water cooler or water crock. Our PureMountainSpringTM water filter will deliver 300 gallons of crystal clear water (the chlorine and other impurities that may be in your municipal tap water will have been removed). After refilling your bottle and placing it on your water dispenser 100 times, or after six months, whichever comes first, you lift off the old filter and replace it with a new one.
Our water filters are tested in accordance with ANSI/NSF Standards:
You can also use water from your water dispenser with a refillable sports bottle for your portable water supply so that you will be "saving the world from discarded plastic bottles", plus saving yourself several hundred dollars each year.

Our water filters are tested in accordance with ANSI/NSF Standards:
Standard 42: Taste, Odor, Chlorine Reduction (99%), Class 1
Standard 42: Particulate Reduction Class V (30-50 micron particulate)
Standard 53: Lead Reduction (98% at pH 6.5) and other heavy metals
Chloramine Reduction: 98%
A polycarbonate bottle does not impart any taste or residual chemicals to the water, with the exception of a possible concern for bisphenol-A (BPA) (See F.A.Q.'s and Drinking Water Concerns). But in any case, possible contaminants such as bisphenol-A (BPA) that could enter the water from a bottle are removed by our filters, along with any chlorine, heavy metals such as lead, and organic and inorganic contaminants. That is part of the beauty in using this system -- the chlorine in your tap water has killed any bacteria or viruses that may have been in the water, and any contaminants, including the chlorine, are then filtered out before you drink the water. As a bonus, you have the cost savings, convenience, and wonderful tasting water! For those of you who may want to continue using bottled water that you purchase, but you have concerns about bisphenol-A (BPA) entering your water from the bottle, using our filter with your bottled water is a means of removing those concerns with a final filtration.
You can also use water from your water dispenser with a refillable sports bottle for your portable water supply so that you will be "saving the world from discarded plastic bottles", plus saving yourself several hundred dollars each year.
Other Growing Drinking Water Concerns...
A growing number of authoritative news reports question the purity of both tap water and bottled water. They also express concerns regarding the cost and environmental issues related to bottled water.

Growing Thirst
Remember the drinking fountain, that once ubiquitous, and free, source of H2O? It seems quaint now. Instead, bottled water is everywhere, in offices, airplanes, stores, homes and restaurants across the country. We consumed over eight billion gallons of the stuff in 2006, a 10 percent increase from 2005. It's refreshing, calorie-free, convenient to carry around, tastier than some tap water and a heck of a lot healthier than sugary sodas. But more and more, people are questioning whether the water, and the package it comes in, is safe, or at least safer than tap water—and if the convenience is worth the environmental impact.
What's in That Bottle?
Evocative names and labels depicting pastoral scenes have convinced us that the liquid is the purest drink around. "But no one should think that bottled water is better regulated, better protected or safer than tap," says Eric Goldstein, co-director of the urban program at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a nonprofit organization devoted to protecting health and the environment.

"If you bought and drank a bottle of Evian, you could refill that bottle once a day for 10 years, 5 months, and 21 days with San Francisco tap water before that water would cost $1.35. Put another way, if the water we use at home cost what even cheap bottled water costs, our monthly water bills would run $9,000."
WaterFilterComparisons.com, an organization with the stated purpose of discouraging the use of bottled water for environmental reasons, reports that tap water can be “…contaminated with synthetic chemicals, toxic heavy metals, parasites, chlorination by-products and literally thousands of health threatening compounds… Contrary to popular belief, water treatment plants are not designed to remove synthetic chemicals or toxic metals like lead.” They also note that there is no assurance that bottled water is any better than tap water, it just costs more. They recommend that the most cost effective and convenient way of ensuring you are drinking water with the taste and purity you can trust is to filter your tap water.
This recommendation is also reiterated by another public service organization, BottledWaterBlues.com: "Filtering out the chlorine, lead and other contaminants, at the point of use, just prior to consumption, is really the only way to know for sure about the quality of your water. And when you factor in the benefits of lower cost, convenience and quality assurance, an in-home water filtration system is clearly the more sensible alternative to bottled water... There's also another great bonus... protecting the environment. Every day millions of plastic water bottles are being discarded ... contaminating our precious natural resources. A single home water system can keep thousands of plastic bottles from ultimately polluting our environment."

The Bottom Line:
The taste and purity you can trust...
Again, the simplest way of ensuring your drinking water has the taste and purity you can trust, plus have crystal clear water always available at the touch of a tap, is to use our exclusive NSF Certified PureMountainSpringTM water filter with a bottled water cooler or water crock. This patented filter has been designed specifically for ease of use with water coolers and water crocks. If you are buying bottled water, you are simply paying much more and missing out on the convenience of filling your water bottle from your kitchen tap.
We also stock the AddiPureTM replacement water filter, which is intended for use with the AddiPureTM bottle (adapter required) and the counter top water coolers manufactured by Addi, Whirlpool, and Oasis. (Note: The AddiPureTM water filter is no longer being manufactered -- see Before You Buy a Filter for additional information. Because our remaining stock is limited we must restrict purchases to two filters at a time, and we recommend changing as soon as possible to the PureMountainSpringTM water filter, which provides better value and filtering technology.)
Also, our PureMountainSpringTM water filter is an ideal replacement for those of you who have previously used the Elkay water cooler filter (the Elkay PureSmart 150 -- P/N 25008B), which is no longer being manufactured. (Note: Most Elkay water coolers require our filter adapter ring -- see Before You Buy a Filter. Also, most of the Elkay water bottles used with the Elkay PureSmart 150 are not standard water cooler bottles -- a standard bottle is necessary to work our filter.)
Water coolers...
The PureMountainSpringTM water filter fits most water coolers, including Oasis, Whirlpool, Water-Boy, Sunroc, Greenway, Sunbeam, General Electric (GE), Elkay, Hamilton Beach, Oster, Avanti, and Vitapure (now sold at Costco) water coolers, and most Brita water coolers. The GE and older models of the Oasis, Elkay, and Whirlpool water coolers require an adapter ring, which we will ship to you at no cost with your filter if you call and request the adapter ring. The PureMountainSpringTM water filter also fits almost all other water dispensers that are designed to be used with a standard water bottle, such as ceramic water crocks.
