Household water filters

For a good few years now, the topic of drinking water has been at the forefront, with endless discussions about whether tap water, mineral water or that from from a water filter. Drinking regime and in general adherence to a drinking regime is the number one topic in the context of a healthy lifestyle, perhaps right after diet. You can find lots and lots of articles about how much, when and what kind of water to drink during the day. However, basic wisdom says that only really clean water constitutes a drinking regime. So no teas, no mineral water, and certainly no sweetened sodas, or juices, as many people still think. Nor do beer (or alcoholic or non-alcoholic) cannot be included in the drinking regime.

The way to drinking water

But there are not many ways to get to really clean water. One way is the aforementioned spring water in PET bottles, which not only puts a strain on our wallets but also on nature. Another option is cheap filtration devices such as water filter kettle, ionisation bottle, carbon filter, mechanical filter and others. These have definitely a positive effect on drinking water (especially chlorine removal) for really little money, but we can’t talk about clean water here. We have to rule out untreated water whose source is the tap, even though the water directly in the reservoir of the waterworks may be relatively fine, but on the way to your tap in your home it passes through corroded, leaded or otherwise contaminated water pipes. Water naturally binds all contaminants and is sure to carry them to your home. For adults, this may not be a sudden health risks, but for children, yes.

Reverse osmosis water filters

Yes I admit, you will find many opinions on the internet from self-proclaimed experts who claim that reverse osmosis demineralizes water. However, this is not a problem for the human body, indeed it is a benefit, since water is meant to detoxify and purify the body, not to nourish it. The right minerals enter the body from the diet, the inorganic ones from water cannot be properly absorbed by the human body and are therefore mostly washed out or trapped in the blood vessels. Water from reverse osmosis However, it is in no way contaminated with chemicals (inorganic and organic) and solids (sand and crud from pipes), it even removes bacteria and viruses, and therefore kills the vast majority of pathogens in the water. Water treatment Reverse osmosis is reminiscent of water filtration in nature – the result is perfectly pure water.

Water treatment using a water filter

Mechanical water filter is the most suitable device if you want to use water from a well. This device can effectively remove large mechanical impurities such as gravel, sand, sludge, rust from water pipes and the like. At the same time mechanical filter also acts as a degree of protection for your pipes from both contamination and damage, increasing their life span. However, if there are hazardous substances in your water that have been detected by water analysis and that are not visible to the naked eye (such as herbicides, pesticides, chlorine and its compounds,…) we recommend that you include a mechanical filter with your carbon filter, the basis of which is activated carbonwhich captures these hazardous substances. The result is healthy and clean waterwhich has a perfect taste and aroma.

However, to be 100% sure that your water is healthy and clean, try multifunctional filter. In addition to the mechanical and carbon water filter, it also contains a UV lamp. UV lamp works on the principle of non-chemical water disinfection. It can kill dangerous bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms found in your water through UV light.

How is bottled water?

Most of the bottled water you find on our store shelves is the same quality as tap water. In addition, bottled water and especially its paste packaging pollute our environment to a large extent. However, if you think it is advisable to use PET bottle of your favorite drink multiple times, you are very wrong. The pet bottle is only suitable for single use. Repeated use increases the risk of leaching dangerous and harmful phthalates into your water.

So the summary of the benefits of a water filter is broad, starting with the health side and also the economic one. Because although the initial investment in reverse osmosis may seem high, in the long run it is not, you can find a detailed table in this article on our blog.
