PASADENA, CA–(Marketwire – July 27, 2010) –  Recent studies show that of the estimated 60 billion plastic water bottles Americans use each year, only 17 percent get recycled; 50 billion end up in landfills. Other research shows that 40% of bottled water, some of the most popular brands, is merely filtered tap water.

LifeSource Water, the leading water softener alternative manufacturer, has published two new case studies detailing how their commercial water softener alternative has saved businesses money, time and waste.

“These case studies are just two examples of how much money and waste can be saved using LifeSource, and homeowners can save as well,” said Dan Hillard of LifeSource Water Systems. “With our whole-house filter you have the same great tasting water flowing through every tap in your home or business. Our customers love their clean, filtered tap water, and they’re happy with the money they save.”

“A gallon of bottled water can cost anywhere from $.79 to $15. Tap water from your local water agency sold by the hundred cubic feet (HCF) costs roughly $2.50 for 748 gallons of water,” continues Hillard. “One gallon of bottled water versus 750 gallons of clean, safe filtered water for about two dollars and fifty cents; it’s a no-brainer.”

The first case study details Pasatiempo Golf Club’s experience with LifeSource. After providing bottled water to their members on the course, management calculated a cost of more than $20,000 per year, plus the immense waste of empty water bottles. Five LifeSource Systems were installed in custom “Water Kiosks” so golfers could access clean, delicious water throughout the course. Pasatiempo saved thousands of dollars and eliminated waste.

The second case study details WesCom Credit Union, a premier financial institution. After installing LifeSource Water Systems, they have great tasting water from every faucet and water fountain in the facility and they have eliminated the expense and hassle of plastic water bottles.
