There are lots of reports on how tap water can have mercury, lead, chlorine and copper among other impurities and pharmaceuticals. I’ve written about the pharmaceutical issue previously andfiltered water and the benefits, it’s something I think we all need to be aware of and the bottled water issue and waste is out of control! All of that said, what does one do on the go? If you’re a green mom like me and your trying to be Eco-savvy you don’t want to buy a water bottle but your reusable water bottle is empty and the children are thirsty. Now what?
Back to the Tap is the solution. A bottle that is made of number four plastic, which is considered safe and does not leak toxins or is shown not to leak. It is a sports water bottle that is designed to filter the water as you drink. It can filter and treat up to 80 gallons of water, meaning you can reuse this bottle for a long, long time. If you buy bottled water this is going to save you close to $300.00 per year and help the environment.

my only questions are: how does it taste? and why are they not making filters for faucets???

I have used a few bottles with the same idea - Filter On-The-Go. An excellent idea for those feel warily going straight back to tap, yet not wanting to filter at home and carry. I love my Stainless version Ech2o which is, by far, the best quality I found so far. It costs a bit more, but every sip you taste is so much crisper and cleaner. It lasts longer as well. (100 gallons or One year)
