Did you know some upscale restaurants now offer curated water menus? Or, that there are now certified water sommeliers officially trained to pair water with fine dining? One event company even organizes interactive water tasting bars that cost participants thousands of dollars! Kinetico® drinking water is a convenient way to enjoy that 5-star water experience at home every day.
You may own a fancy water bottle; the real upgrade is what’s inside
Water has evolved from a basic necessity to a trendy wellness beverage of choice for most Americans.

- Fun fact: The latest data show that 60% of U.S. adults own a reusable water bottle. That’s roughly 155 million people. Source: TheRoundUp.org
Here’s the irony: Some people buy pricey designer water bottles just to fill them with pool-flavored tap water, or water contaminated with heavy metals and pesticides that all too often are not treated for properly.
Conduct your own fun taste tests
Stop by the Haferman office for a free bottle of reverse osmosis drinking water. Try it in our coffee. Or, we will bring a bottle to your home during our free water analysis. Then, conduct your own side-by-side taste comparisons.
Adults: Compare coffee or tea made with your current tap water and with reverse osmosis water. You may discover new flavor nuances.
Kids: Teach kids about water’s taste versatility by infusing glasses of water with fresh lemon, lime or orange. Ask them to choose their favorite flavors.
Taste is just the beginning
As Americans swap sugary drinks and alcohol for unbottled water, taste has become a top priority. If your tap water contains minerals and chlorine, even a few sips can be offputting. The Kinetico® K5 Drinking Water Station with VOC Guard can reduce more than 70 contaminants found in typical water supplies. You get truly refreshing, better tasting water.
People also want to cut back on their exposure to pesticides, some of which are known carcinogens. Kinetico drinking water helps to mitigate your exposure to pesticides, as well as other contaminants such as microplastics and heavy metals.

Don’t wait until you’re parched to hydrate.
We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention why spring is a great time to assess your home’s drinking water. If you’re spending more time outdoors, or perhaps even preparing for a summer marathon, hydration is the foundation of energy and performance.
But here’s a not-so-obvious reason to have better drinking water. Spring is peak allergy season. A runny nose and watery eyes may slightly increase your body’s water loss. If you use antihistamines to control allergy symptoms, their drying effect can lead to mild dehydration.
Thirst isn’t always the first sign of dehydration. Fatigue, low energy, mild headaches or a dry, scratchy throat may also be due to water loss.
