Bottled Water vs Home Filtration: What Saves You More Money?

You’re trying to do the right thing.
You drink water instead of sugary drinks. You buy “spring” or “purified” bottles thinking it's better for your health. Maybe even for the planet.
But have you ever added up the cost? Or looked at what’s really in those bottles?
Let’s break down the numbers — and the impact — of bottled water vs a smart home filtration system like Flöa.

‍

💸 The Real Cost of Bottled Water

The average person drinks about 4 bottles a day.
That’s roughly 120 bottles a month — or about $40–$60 monthly for a single person. Multiply that by a family of 4 and you’re looking at over $2,500/year.

But that’s just the financial side.

Here’s what else comes with it:

Plastic waste: 8 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year.
Transport emissions: That “fresh” water was likely trucked hundreds of miles.
Questionable purity: Many bottled waters are just filtered tap — seriously.

And all that… for something you already have at home: water.
