Boil Or Filter?

SOURCES OF POLLUTION

The last decades have been marked by the fact that water purification by boiling is not effective. All specialists, including doctors of the sanitary and epidemiological services, argue that it is impossible to get rid of the bacteria with the help of high temperatures. At the same time, the condition of the water supplied from the water supply network is only getting worse every year, and the main reasons are as follows:

• Pollution by substances discharged by enterprises. The volumes that enter natural reservoirs from under-treated industrial waters are increasing every year. The situation is aggravated not only by sewage, storm water and melt water, but also by a fair amount of deterioration of the pipes of the water supply network;
• Bacteria and microorganisms that get into drinking water. They are dangerous for the normal life of a person, since they provoke toxic infections, can cause chronic inflammatory processes in the internal organs. Among the most dangerous pathogens, Salmonella and intestinal bacilli are at the forefront. They die with prolonged exposure to high temperatures (boiling), but the bacteria that cause botulism, and many staphylococci are not afraid of boiling water. Some blue-green algae often become pathogens of serious diseases, since they accumulate a large amount (more than 60) of harmful chemical compounds in their composition, and the boiling process will not affect their vital activity in any way;
• In addition to the aforementioned sources, there is such a concept, like chlorination. It is regularly used to purify natural waters in public utilities. With the help of enrichment with dangerous volatile vapors, it is possible to minimize the amount of pathogenic flora, but chlorine and its derivatives remain in the water. Experts recommend defending tap water, but it is extremely difficult to exclude the ingress of sediment and fully purify the water in this way.

FILTERS - THE OPTIMAL OPTION

Thus, filtering remains the most efficient option. Using replacement cartridges , you don't have to worry about the quality of the liquid you use. In addition, with the help of a modern filtration system, it is possible to get rid of numerous bacteria that have learned to "adapt" to high temperatures and chlorine compounds. Recall that water filters can be of several types. Some can purify small volumes of water, while others, in addition to purification, can also enrich the drinking fluid with useful trace elements and minerals. Choose the most suitable treatment option and remember that water is life.
