Financial Benefits

Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Research shows, that plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. And while the plastic used to bottle water and other beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are just thrown away.  Unfortunately, this is only true if the empty bottles actually make it to a garbage can. Plastic waste is now at such a volume that a large amount of current plastic trash now floats in the world’s major oceans. This represents a great risk to marine life, killing birds and fish which mistake our garbage for food. Thanks to its slow decay rate, the vast majority of all plastics ever produced still exist — somewhere. 

For an individual who regularly drinks bottled water: 

-- 8 glasses of water per day is the recommended intake (10 ounces per serving)

--a 20 ounce bottle of water on average is $1.50.

--Four (4) 20 ounce bottles per day = 8 glasses = $6 a day.

--$6 per day X 365 days = $2,190 or $4,380 over 2 years..

--Making allowances for days when an individual may not drink the full recommended amount, or for possible discounted prices when buying bottled water in bulk, and for the cost of an optional home water filter system (i.e.-Brita or PUR),  the average annual estimated savings for an individual who switches from regular bottled water intake to Wizard Water would be approximately  $1,480 over 2 years or $3,670 over 3 years.

For a family of four that regularly drinks bottled water: 

Using the figures and allowances above, the average estimated savings would be $5,920 over  2 years !!
