!±8± A Multi-Pure Aquadome Countertop Filter Better For the Environment Than Brita Aquaview Water Filter

A lot has been said about the recently published result of analysis of two similar water filter systems by a group of researchers. The result showed that the Multi-Pure MPAD Aquadome countertop filter is safer on your wallet and on the environment than Brita Aquaview faucet mount water filter. The researchers believe the result is significant because the filter technologies of both filter systems are very similar, and the quality and characteristics of water being filtered are comparable.

Brita filter has been the favorite of those that need a simple and uncomplicated water filter system that makes water fit to drink. Those people may be disappointed at this result but for those already familiar with the quality of Multi-Pure water filter systems, it's a confirmation that their money was wisely spent.

Several assumptions were made in the research to arrive at the conclusion that the Multi-Pure MPAD will save money and save the environment better than the Brita Aquaview.

Some of those assumptions are:

· the numbers of people in the household that will use the filter; the release of CO2 during production and transportation each filter system;

· the type of technology use for the filter media;

· the cost of production and retail prices;

· the characteristics of water being filtered;

· the location of the assembly facilities (Multi-Pure in California, Brita in an Asia country);

· plus many other justifiable assumptions

In addition, the researchers also showed the tool that was used to calculate the estimated carbon footprint reductions based on the difference between distance from where each filter is manufactured and the point of use-your home or office. Multi-Pure wins decisively in this category because Brita is assembled too far away.

The conclusion is that the Multi-Pure MPAD is better for your wallet and the environment than Brita Aquaview. The lesson from this study is that you need to compare other factors beside the cost and the brand name before you buy a water filter. Brita and Multi-Pure have been in the filter business for a long time. Multi-Pure filter system may cost more than some filter brands, their filtration systems are NSF-certified but the overall cost will save you money-and save the environment.
