Everyone needs clean water to carry out normal life activities. Some need this from the water filter using, and some by ordering water welcomes There have always been some differences of opinion regarding whether to use water filters or bottled water. In our previous posts about water filters We gave extensive information.
This time we will touch on a different topic.
Order water or buy a water filter? Which is more profitable?
To determine this, we will do a small calculation. Let us assume that there is a family of 5 people. Each member of this family should drink at least 2 liters of water per day.
5 people x 2 liters = 10 liters/day
10 liters x 365 days = 3650 liters
So, the amount of water that a family of 5 people needs to drink during the year is 3650 liters. The largest and most affordable types of bottled water are 19 liters. Keeping these data in mind, let's continue our calculation.
3650 liters / 19 liters ≈ 200 containers of water
200 containers of water x 3.5 AZN = 700 AZN
As you can see, if a family wants to order water in containers to meet its drinking water needs, it will cost approx. 700 AZNwill have to spend about It should be noted here that this is only the amount of water we need to drink. If we add to this the preparation of tea and food, as well as the washing of fruits and vegetables, the cost will increase at least twice.
What if this family uses a water filter? Let's calculate together.
Currently, the approximate price of an average device in the water filter market is around 500 AZN. The service life of this product is up to 15 years. But getting a water filter doesn't stop there. The filters of a device should be changed from time to time. Assuming that most water purification systems have 6 filters, let's look at the service costs of this system for a year:
3 preventive filters - twice a year - 80 AZN in total
Last carbon and mineral filters - once a year - 35 AZN in total
Membrane - every two years - 70 AZN (on average it is 35 AZN per year)
The total service cost was 150 AZN per year. The price of the water filter if we add to it, our expenses for the first year will be around 650 AZN. But in the following years, money will be paid only for the shuttle service. This saving at least 500 AZN every year will lead to. It should also be taken into account that these systems can purify at least 150 liters of water per day.
The main disadvantages of this option are the ordering and transportation of bottled water, the sudden running out of water when you don't want it, the fact that it doesn't come when you want it, and the possibility of limited use. In addition, plastic containers and the many disadvantages of using them over and over again is also known to everyone. We will touch on this topic in our next posts.
