The water filling station in my grocery store is a paradox. Although I like the potential for cheap Pure water Cut the supplement of bottled water purchases, I can’t overcome the triviality of many small jugs on grocery trips. I would invest in a huge 5 gallon jug, but it's too big and has no dispenser.
Until recently, I believe in tradition Water cooler – Usually found in office buildings – is the best choice. But I'm changing the tune with a cheap portable water dispenser.
Let's explore three reasons why a $15 water dispenser may be worth your money. (For more cleaning water tips, see How to make Distilled water at home And find out how much money you can save by switching from bottled water to filtered faucet).
Desktop water dispenser is convenient in places without a faucet
Even if you don’t buy pure water, a large jug is a great way to prepare water in places without a faucet.
As someone with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), I sometimes encounter a mental state called Hyperpocus, and I lose time while working. I really like it $16 KEWEIS Desktop Water Bottle Dispenser Since I can put it on the table and extend the 4-foot hose into the kettle on the floor, keep it hydrated. This means I can hide the jug under a table with a rich floor space. This is also great for protecting the bottle from sunlight, which can degrade plastic over time and lead to the growth of microorganisms.
The favorite feature of this desktop dispenser is six presets from 100ml to 1L, so I can add a proper amount of water to my cup every time. Although these presets are not very accurate, my quick test scales and measuring cups show that they are quite accurate within 15 to 40 ml (1 to 2.7 tablespoons). Strangely, the lowest setting tends to fill the cup with a few milliliters of cups, while the highest preset fills. The 500ml middle setting is very close to precise.
Keweis has a USB-C port for charging.
For drinks and some recipes, this accuracy is OK, but it is always a good idea to double-check the amount of water with a liquid measuring cup. I don't recommend using it with a dry measuring cup unless you want to spill. You can also press the power button at any time to stop the filling process.
My main complaint about the Keweis is the compact size. For most water bottles, the faucets are not high enough and they must be held at an angle while filling in the practicality of presets. Also, the base is too narrow to accommodate a standard 4-cup measuring cup or even a small mixing bowl. At least it's perfect for coffee and party cups. My next desktop water dispenser will have a Adjustable height or Rotating faucet.
Portable faucet for camping
MyVision leans directly against the silicone cap and the cap slides through the opening of the 5-gallon water can. It's not useful indoors, but it's a great option for camping sites or remote cabins.
I first heard about portable moisture distributors like $15 Myvision automatic drinking water pump Camping access from YouTube. This is appropriate and it makes my idea of ​​a water dispenser a reliable choice for travel. Unlike Keweis, MyVsion has no presets, so you can click on the button at the top to start and stop the pump. It fills containers as fast as Keweis, but the stainless steel spout is easy to use and produces less splash when filled. The nozzles are also filled with right angles and lengths of many containers.
While I like that MyVision includes a silicone cover, it is a bit loose for my taste. I prefer these tighter fits Kettle lid I found the price to be $9. I think the manual control is especially good for hand washing because it works more or less like a regular faucet. While these portable moisture distributors are great, you should be careful not to put them too close to your electronics. Again, keep them out of reach of toddlers to prevent confusion.
Cheap alternatives to disposable water bottles
While the jug is priced directly to $13, it only takes a supplement to offset the cost of my usual bottled water.
Bottled water is an important source of plastic waste, and it’s no secret that most people end up in landfills around the world. But it's not just a matter of waste. Disposable bottled water is expensive compared to tap water. Still, people of all income levels can reduce their dependence on disposable water bottles.
Even though I have cut my bottled water purchases over the past few years, I still pull out a $5 16.9-ounce bottle every few months. The box holds 40 bottles and has a total volume of 5.3 gallons (20 liters), so I spent nearly $1 per gallon. By comparison, I could fill the entire five-gallon jug at a water irrigation station for $2 for $0.40 per gallon.
I will continue to refill this can until it breaks and I love that it encourages me to use the collection of reusable water bottles.
I realized that pure water at my grocery store is much more expensive than tap water, which costs just $0.84 for the first 1,000 gallons in my city. Still, the consistent flavor felt ideal for overloading me to drink tap water.
Pure water is also perfect for emergency water storage in any home. The CDC recommends that you store water for at least three days at home for everyone, but preferably two weeks worth. One gallon per day, about 3 to 14 gallons of water per person. When storing large amounts of water, large water tanks are more effective than smaller containers.
