Water & Our Environment
INVESTING IN A KANGEN WATER MACHINE IS AN ECO-FRIENDLY SOLUTION TO KEEPING PLASTIC OUT OF OUR OCEANS!
IN HOME WATER FILTRATION SYSTEMS AND REUSEABLE, BPA-FREE DRINKING BOTTLES ARE THE FIRST STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TOWARDS INITIATING WATER AWARENESS AND CONSERVATION IN YOUR HOME AND WORK PLACE.
Figures were calculated based on a family of four, using a recommended daily water consumption formula of the body weight of each individual in ounces of water. Father (190 lbs), Mother (160 lbs), 13 year old son (100 lbs), 10 year old daughter (75 lbs). Weights based on National Center for Health Statistics for average weights of individuals living in the United States. This family should consume 262.5 ounces or 2.05 gallons of water each day. The calculations above have been figured using 2 gallons of daily consumption.
**Just to put some perspective on the above calculations - these figures are stating that a family of 4 is only consuming a total of 2 gallons of water per day. As an individual weighing 145 lbs, I personally drink 1 gallon of water myself per day. So for a family that drinks a healthy amount of water, the amount spent on purchasing bottled water would be significantly higher.
Comparing Water Prices
“We generally pay much less for our drinking water than we do for most other goods and services. On average, tap water costs are slightly more than $2 per 1,000 gallons. Each of us, on average uses over 100 gallons of water per day for everything form drinking to bathing to watering our gardens. This equates to an average annual water bill of about $300 per household. The 15 year Kangen water information is based on the Enagic SD501 with a retail price of $3980.00. It also includes the cost of a high grade filter, replaced annually; 2 cleaning cartridges, used annually; 5 cleaning services, once every 3 years, performed by Enagic technicians and the average cost of tap water, as indicated by the U.S. EPA, at the rate of $.002 per gallon.”
