Homedics Restore
If you still purchase bottled water, I sincerely hope you have a really good excuse! There are so many ways around buying plastic land material filled with water!
We actually have a filter our our kitchen sink. Aqusana makes it and I love it! BUT we don’t have access to icy cold water and Craig will not drink it unless it is really cold. So he normally gets water from our fridge but the water filter on that is a piece of junk! I replaced it as soon as we moved in here, and with in 4-5 days it stated it needed replaced again.
So I was really happy when I was approached to do a review on the Homedics Restore!

BPA free - UV technology purifies and removes 99.9999% of bacteria, 99.99% of viruses and 99.95% of microbial cysts
It is really simple to use. Just fill with water. Give it time to drain through the filter and then switch the button to “Purify” and plug in. You only have to wait maybe 1 minute. And do yourself a favor, divert your eyes. The UV light is powerful!
The water tastes extremely clean and so nice having cold water.
It is also made really well. Everything is nice and thick, not like most filter pitchers I have used. This will stand the test of time, and frequent washings!
It looks like they retail for about $99.99 just about anywhere and the filters are a steal at $6.99.
Purchase at Amazon.com and Drugstore.com.
ftc disclosure: I did receive a sample pitcher for review. this did not have any bearing on my review good or bad. In fact I was asked to review it no matter whether I liked it or not.
Aqusana Water Filters Review
Craig and I stopped the water bottle habit years ago. I hope most of you have stopped that bad habit by now too. Not just for the landfills, but the plastic can leech awful chemicals when it is subjected to extreme temperatures.
I first got off the bottle wagon with a Brita Pitcher. The main problem for me, was that I would fly threw it, and then not have enough water cold. I also made ice cubes with it, my water at my condo (where I lived before now) was awful.
So then Craig and I moved here, and we purchased a PUR water filter for the sink. It worked great, no issues at all. It just seems to cost a lot to replace the filters. We had it on our kitchen sink, and used it for any amount of cooking, drinking etc. Then one of the plastic pieces seemed to get corroded and the threading became stripped. That was that for PUR.
So I had hear of Aquasana, and their filtering shower heads. So I went their to browse their home water filters. And purchased a Counter Top Water Filter. The AQ-4000 to be exact. Craig installed it, with no major issues, and it maybe took him 30 minutes. We have fresh flowing water at any time, for food, the dogs, drinks etc. We need to replace the filter, only every 6 months, or every 500 gallons of water. I tend to think we could go longer then that, as it is just the two of us. But the filters are only $47.99. Aquasana has figured it out, that basically it will cost $8 a month for all the fresh water you need. That is pretty much 1 1/2 cases of water, right? If you get it on sale. =)
Here are some other benefits of Aquasana filtered water.
