Cheapest Ways to Drink Healthy Water without Breaking Your Budget

The cheapest way to drink healthy water without breaking your budget is by filtering your own water. The obvious cheapest healthy and money-saving option is when you buy your own filter for drinking water at home, travel, camp, or other places with bad quality water. This is something we practicing in our home.

Bottled water is clearly not the cheapest way to drink. Changing that part of our budget is a real budget-cutting approach. You simply buy BPA-free reusable (stainless steel or plastic) bottles to carry your filtered water wherever you go. Here are a few cheapest ways you can drink healthy water without bottled water:

1. Water pitcher/carafe filters – This is the cheapest filtration method but this can save you money. No installation needed. You can buy one as low as $20 but the frequency of changing the filter does not make this appealing.
   
2. Faucet-mount filtration system – is another low-cost filtering method and just like the pitcher filter, the frequency of changing the filter cartridge makes it less appealing. Installation is quick and no plumbing experience is needed.
   
3. Countertop water filter – this is the best option for apartment dwellers or house renters. Easy to install, and mostly low cost. It comes with a hose that is attached to a standard kitchen faucet. Prices depend on brands, flow rate, and the type of filter technology used. Click this water filter comparison chart to help you compare prices, quality, and more!
   
4. Undersink water filter – requires plumbing work and it’s a good do-it-yourself project, or hire a plumber. Undersink could be reverse osmosis or activated carbon system or a combination of both. Prices also depend on brands, quality, and in some cases, certification. Again, use this comparison chart for help.
   

We have tried several filtration brands of pitchers, faucet-mount, reverse osmosis, and countertops; none has performed better than these 10 best water purifier in India. The system and other solid carbon block filter cartridges from these best water filters is really very solid, compare with others we have used so far. So, this is from our household experience.

The bottom line is you will drink healthy, stay hydrated, without bottled water, and save money!
