We all know water’s good for us, but there are so many trendy hot issues related to water…
what’s in it?
what happens to the bottles?
how does it taste?
I grew up drinking good old-fashioned tap water. At the cottage we drank “town water” because you didn’t want to drink what came out of the tap (something to do with that saying about not peeing in your own swimming pool).
About ten years ago, my husband and I got a water cooler as a gift and started drinking bottled water from our water cooler. We loved the taste and the temperature of our nice cold water. We didn’t love the hassle of schlepping to the water store every other week to exchange our empty bottles for full ones.
Lo and behold, Cuisinart has come up with just the product for me. Cuisinart Clean Water‘s countertop water filtration system dispenses hot (instant oatmeal…instantly!!), cold (enough for me after a run) and room-temperature water (for my picky three year old who complains when water’s too cold).
No more schlepping huge bottles around, since I just fill the 2-gallon removable water tank with tap water. Cha-ching!
The filter is expected to last a couple of months, and removes chlorine, mercury, benzene and copper from our tap water (leaving the fluoride which I think is good!)
Here’s me showing you my new water cooler.
As a bonus today (because I’m feeling generous and because it’s on the same memory card and I can’t stop giggling when I look at it!) I’m also including a little helpful hint for those of you suffering from puffy eyes as a result of seasonal allergies.
What a great idea…I just wish it removed the fluoride, which is proven to be a great tooth decay preventer when teeth are bathed in it, but can cause fluoridosis (those white spots on adult teeth) when swallowed during childhood. My 7.5 year old has it and our dentist told me it’s almost certainly caused by our tap water.
Still, I might just get one if only for the instant hot water feature. That is GOLD! (Especially as it is 6.8 degrees here as I type this!)
Cool! And love the day at the spa pick for your little guy too 😉
Oooo, I love it. Living out in California (where lukewarm water comes out of the tap, even with just the cold tap on) I would love to get a cold glass of water without ice. I’ll definitely keep my eye out for it!!
