$25'000 is more than you need in several lifetimes.
But then again, tab water here is excellent and also cool. So I don't see a reason why I should transport bottled water. It is much more convenient and cheaper.
- kristopolous 7y agoThere's not very expensive filtration systems rated for 100,000 gallons. The standard kirkland bottled water you see in the US in the standard 80 unit packs would run you $195,000 for that. Municipal water would be about $1,500 for that + $150 filter. It's a 99.2% cheaper option. Oh right and the 1.6 million water bottles you'd not have produced, right.

Many people drinking bottled water aren't drinking the cheapest in the supermarket - the recycling bin outside my flat is regularly filled with 1.5l evian bottles - they're £1 each in the local shop. At one bottle a day, that's ~35 person-years. Not common, but not insane. However, my office has 17 people on my floor. If everyone here drank one bottle of it a day, we'd hit it in 2 years.

At one bottle a day, that's ~35 person-years. Not common, but not insane. Even given expensive name brand water, a $50 filter cartridge only lasts for six months. That's $3150 for the same period. $50 replacing $25,000 is not grounded in reality.
