\n\tLes purificateurs accumulent de l'eau impure et la soumettent \u00e0 un processus qui \u00e9limine les compos\u00e9s chimiques explicitement ind\u00e9sirables, les contaminants biologiques et les micro-organismes qui peuvent potentiellement causer des probl\u00e8mes de sant\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Water helps the body achieve homeostasis, the process that allows all living beings to maintain and sustain body levels necessary for survival. It comprises approximately 60% of the human body weight and helps flush out toxins and waste through urine, sweat, and frequent bowel movements. If a person fails to drink water regularly, it can lead to severe dehydration and hinder the body’s systems from undergoing normal processes and functions. Overall, a person can survive days without food, but not without water. Research state that men are advised to consume 3.7 litres of water while women 2.7 litres.<\/p>\n
Everyone must be wary and aware of the different sources of water, what process it went through, and if it’s potable and clean enough to drink. Here are drinking water sources you should know about:<\/p>\n
– Public water systems give people access to one of the safest sources of drinking water. Thanks to the different regulatory measures, this water is kept free from being contaminated by E. coli, Salmonella, Cryptosporidium, chemicals, and metals.<\/p>\n
– Private water systems include the usage of bottled water or natural sources such as rivers, streams, springs, or ponds through their wells.<\/p>\n
– Bottled water has the same regulatory measures set for tap water. Although many choose to spend a lot of bottled water, be it for convenience or because of health issues, people should still question the source as well as the treatment used. However, some bottled waters contain fluoride, which is a natural phenomenon for most productions.<\/p>\n
La diff\u00e9rence entre l'eau en bouteille, l'eau du robinet et l'eau filtr\u00e9e est la suivante:<\/p>\n
– Bottled Water is generally defined as not having less than 250 parts per million of dissolved liquids, and coming from more than one boreholes or springs. The sources should also be a well-protected area, and the water shouldn’t contain added minerals. Main advantages are that the water contains specific minerals beneficial for humans, such as calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, chloride, iron, and sulfate.<\/p>\n
– Tap Water, thanks to improvements in the technology used by water treatments, tap water proves to be one of the best choices today. Mian advantages are a significant source of magnesium which helps cell turnover and improves the consumer’s immunity and higher mineral content compared to other sources<\/p>\n
– Filtered Tap Water is obtained through water filters which are a commonly used product for the majority of homes nowadays due to its sustainability, affordability, and outstanding filtering process. Main advantages are that it removes large amounts of microplastics and other contaminants, and it allows a significant reduction in the risk of ingesting microorganisms, bacteria, and viruses.<\/p>\n
Testing the water, you have at home can be a difficult task, especially if you don’t know what you’re looking for in terms of indicators and the accepted values. The following are simple parameters that homeowners should take note of and remember:<\/p>\n
– pH value, generally the most important in measuring the quality of water. pH can change the corrosiveness of water as well as the contaminants’ solubility. If the water has a low pH, it may cause pitting of the pipes, and it gives off a metal taste. On the other hand, when the water has a high pH, it may be the same as drinking soda, with a slippery feel. It may also mean that there is a continuous dissolving of metals. The acceptable pH value is between 6.5 to 8.5.<\/p>\n
– Turbidity, a cloudy appearance of water can indicate that there is contamination. Drinking water should always be transparent and free of any dust particle.<\/p>\n
– Water Hardness, although many believe that water hardness can cause serious health issues, there are no studies to back this up. However, this parameter, if not maintained within the average levels, can significantly reduce the lifetime of the equipment (0-60 mg\/L soft, 61-120 mg\/L moderately hard, 121-180 mg\/L hard, above 181 mg\/L very hard)<\/p>\n
– Total Dissolved Solids, is an easy and cheap alternative to most tests done on water, but it’s also not advisable to use as the primary indicator of quality. There are noted issues in the values reported in TDS results because of the vagueness. There is no specification regarding different minerals detected, such as calcium, magnesium, chloride, sodium, etc. According to the World Health Organization, here are the acceptable values of TDS: less than 300 mg\/L excellent, 300 to 600 mg\/L good, 600 to 900 mg\/L fair, 900-1,200 mg\/L poor, above 1,200 mg\/L unacceptable.<\/p>\n
