Bottled water sales are booming -- more than 5-billion gallons this year alone. Home water filters and purification systems also are experiencing record sales as many folks look to trade plain old regular tap water and trips to the market for bottled water. While there are many options, only one is considered best for water purification. That's reverse-osmosis purification -- used by NASA for the astronauts. While others simply run water through a filter to remove some chemicals and minerals (which just gets dirtier and dirtier over time), reverse-osmosis purification only lets tiny water molecules pass through its high-tech membrane. All impurities, including salt and lead, go down the drain. What's left is the best, purest drinking water you'll ever taste. Become a water snob. Check out www.culligan.com for more ideas. And that's the On The House tip for today.
