When it comes to drinking water, we all think that the tap water after treatment is very safe, and many people even think that boiling it is foolproof. But have you ever thought that the water we drink every day may also hide some “invisible hidden dangers”? Today, with 7 simple and easy to understand the facts, let you completely understand: why more and more people have installed water purifiers at home!
❶ Is tap water really 100% clean? Let's start with a real problem - tap water, although the city water supply system through the layers of filtration, but from the water plant to your home along the way, it will pass through a long pipeline, these pipelines may have been used for decades, and even the interior has long been rusty, aging. If some unexpected circumstances, such as pipeline maintenance, secondary water supply pollution, etc., the tap water may be subject to secondary pollution.
🔹 Tip: Even qualified tap water, in the transportation process may be mixed with impurities. Therefore, tap water that flows from the faucet without additional purification is not always suitable for direct consumption.
❷ Can boiling solve all problems? Many people are in the habit of boiling their tap water before drinking it, thinking that it will kill bacteria. But in fact, boiling can only kill some of the microorganisms, and does not remove heavy metals, residual chlorine and other harmful substances. Especially heavy metals like lead and mercury, even if they are boiled at 100°C, they still stay firmly in your cup ......
🔹 Tip: If you think “boiling” is everything, you might want to rethink that. It's not just the bacteria that really affect your health, it's also the substances that are invisible to the naked eye but which can accumulate and harm your body over time!
❸ Bleach and chlorine, do you really know? In order to ensure that tap water does not deteriorate during transportation, water supply companies usually add a certain amount of disinfectant (e.g. bleach), which is mainly composed of “residual chlorine”. Although it can effectively sterilize the water, it also brings some side effects. When you turn on the faucet and smell a smell similar to that of a swimming pool, it is basically a residual chlorine problem. Drinking water with high levels of residual chlorine for a long time is not good for your skin or body Oh!
🔹 Tip: Water purifiers can effectively reduce residual chlorine, so that we can drink better tasting and healthier drinking water. Especially for pregnant women and children, more peace of mind!
❹ Where does the tea scale and limescale at home come from? Have you ever noticed that sometimes when you make tea or cook rice, there is always some yellow or white sediment? This is actually “calcium and magnesium ions” formed by the tea scale, limescale, and these minerals if too much intake, may increase the risk of kidney stones and other diseases. Moreover, with this high hardness of the water to wash your face, wash your hair, but also easy to lead to dry skin, flaky oh!
🔹 Tip: Installation of softening type or RO reverse osmosis water purifier can effectively reduce the hardness, so that the living water is more delicate and soft, and improve the quality of life!
❺ Barrels of pure water = absolutely safe? Not necessarily! Some people feel that instead of installing a water purifier, it is better to just buy a barrel of pure water to go home. But you know what? Barrels of pure water are usually stored for a long time, if the seal is not good or the storage environment is humid, it is easy to breed bacteria. Moreover, the level of barrels on the market is uneven, and some small brands even have the problem of secondary filling ......
Not to mention, a year down to buy barrels of pure water equalized to each day, in fact, the cost is higher than their own installation of a household water purifier! Both costly, but also difficult to guarantee the quality, not cost-effective, right?
❻ Cooking, washing dishes also need good water, you ignore? In addition to drinking directly, we use a lot of tap water every day to cook, wash dishes, but if these ingredients are full of impurities, not clean enough “problem” tap water, then the last eat into the stomach can be our own ah ...... Especially for the baby to brew milk powder! If you use tap water that contains heavy metals or impurities that exceed the limit, it will have an irreversible effect on their delicate little bodies.
Therefore, not only drinking, daily cooking also need good quality water, which is why more and more people choose to install the kitchen specifically used in the small drinking machine or ultra-filtration machine, so that the whole family's eating and drinking are more at ease!
