Healthiest Product: Countertop Water Purifier

Online, January 28, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Health magazine has named it's "Healthiest Product" for 2010: the Aquasana AQ-4000 countertop water purifier.

The Aquasana countertop water purifier connects to the kitchen faucet to remove chlorine, lead, synthetic chemicals, and other pollutants from drinking water. It installs in minutes and provides healthy water for less than 10 cents a gallon. The average cost of a gallon of bottled water costs over $8.00 (that's more than a gallon of gas!).

"If you're drinking store-bought bottled water, you're not only paying fifty times too much money, but you're getting a lower quality product. Standards for bottled water quality are poor, and toxic chemicals often seep from plastic bottles. But when you purify your water at home, you can be sure that you're drinking clean water," said Scott Smith, president of CountertopWaterPurifiers, an online retail site that offers the Aquasana AQ-4000.

To determine the healthiest product, Health magazine asked a team of doctors and industry experts to test over 1,000 health products. Other healthy products highlighted by Health magazine included Seventh Generation Disinfecting Multi-Surface Cleaner and Benjamin Moore Natura Interior Waterborne Paint.
