Stefani Terracotta Water Coolers and Purifiers

2007_11_14-Water.jpgDo you purify your water? We've talked about why we drink tap water instead of bottled water. Sometimes tap water is just fine to drink - depending on where you live. But in some places it's preferable to filter the water for reasons of taste and purity. We just came across these Stefani Terracotta Water Crocks and we're intrigued.

Terracotta's evaporating properties cool water naturally, so these water coolers need no plumbing or electricity. These crocks also use replaceable carbon filters to filter out impurities and chemicals that are sometimes found in drinking water.

 
 

You can buy Stefani Water Crocks for about $140-$230, depending on size and model, and save the electricity and space in your fridge that might usually be devoted to a jug of water.

What about you? Do you filter your water?

I don't bother to filter my water because I live in Boston and it tastes fabulous out of the faucet. This weekend however I took a mouthful of water that tasted heavily of pennies while at a Connecticut rest stop, it was really gross. I know I'm lucky to have great tap.

This is so funny! I moved to Brazil during the late 80's and 90's, and remember that all houses had these. They seemed so "old world" to me, and yet here we are, bringing this genious thing back.

They do work very well, if you don't mind wasting valuable countertop space with that big thing. In addition, I think you had to clean the inside parts every couple of months. Something else to consider...
