Filtered Water: The Healthiest and Most Affordable

 

Water is an essential input for living beings. And specifically drinking water, it is a human right established by the UN (United Nations) in 2010.

Thinking only about intake and our need for hydration, a question that many people ask is: What is the best water to drink?

Well, this is a very complex question and the exact answer depends on a number of variables.

For example, excessive consumption of mineral water that is very rich in mineral salts, even though it is a totally drinkable type of water, can, in extreme cases, even cause kidney problems.

On the other hand, the ingestion of “pure water” – that normally used in laboratories and some industrial processes – is not recommended, despite its suggestive name.

This is because pure water, which is that which has only two molecules of hydrogen and one of oxygen (H₂O), is free of electrolytes, which are essential minerals for the human body. In other words, drinking plain water does not bring health benefits, as it is a sterile liquid with regard to our body’s mineral needs.

The public water supply, the popular tap water, although properly treated in large municipal Water Treatment Plants (WTP), may contain organic and inorganic residues accumulated in underground pipes that are later carried to homes.

Thus, in order to guarantee the health and nutritional needs of people, the water needs, in addition to being drinkable and safe from a sanitary point of view, to have a balanced and adequate composition of mineral salts.

The Main Requirement Is Drinking Water

We have, nowadays, a series of water options to quench our thirst and, thus, satisfy our need for hydration.

There are people who truly trust the quality of tap water and drink it without any fear. In turn, some more suspicious consumers do not give up the traditional clay filter.

Meanwhile, others prefer purifiers, ozonizer filters, filters attached to faucets, gallons of mineral water and Central Water Filters.

But regardless of the type of water you drink, it needs to be drinkable. As is known, this well-known, basic and mandatory sanitary rule prevents diseases and illnesses caused by water contaminated with bacteria, viruses and other substances harmful to health.

By definition, the UN clarifies that drinking water is that which is totally free of pathogens and high levels of toxic substances, which we can drink and which can also be used in actions such as washing and cooking food, preparing meals and personal hygiene.

Here in Brazil, the quality and potability of water are determined by Consolidation Ordinance No. 5 , of the Ministry of Health (MS).

The Ordinance XX of Annex No. 5 describes sanitary water quality standards, accepted microbiological parameters, maximum doses of chemicals, turbidity, guidelines for disinfection with chlorine, ozone and ultraviolet, rules of sampling and other criteria.

Filtered and Treated Water: The Healthiest and Most Affordable

It is indisputable that mineral water – extracted from natural or artificial sources – brings health benefits.

It should be noted that, since 1945, this type of water has been regulated by a decree-law, legislation known as the Mineral Water Code.

This decree-law defines mineral waters as those “from natural sources or artificially captured sources that have chemical composition or physical or physicochemical properties distinct from ordinary waters, with characteristics that give them a medicinal action”.

However, mineral waters are only available in natural springs, spas or in the form of products, when they are bottled and marketed.

Considering these conditions, and our daily dependence on potable water, residential filters and other continuous water treatment systems prove to be a more advantageous option and with a better ‘cost-benefit’ ratio for the consumer.

This is the case of the Water Filter Residential Water Filters, the efficient filtering devices for domestic, commercial and industrial use that ensure the supply of treated water 24 hours a day and at different exit points from the properties.

With more than 50 thousand customers distributed throughout Brazil, Filters are a guarantee of sanitary safety, consumer comfort (filtered and drinking water at any time!) and full treatment of 100% of the water entering the residential property’s hydraulic system, commercial or factory.

This means that the water tank, all the valves and faucets in the property are continuously supplied with water previously treated and sanitized by the Central Filter.

This comprehensive coverage of treated water ensures safety, comfort and health for families and people who frequent facilities such as condominiums (residential and commercial), stores, schools, gyms, hotels, spas, hospitals, companies and industries.

Water Filter: Sanitary and technological excellence

Every Central Water Filter with the Top brand is built in stainless steel, ensuring robustness and beauty to these devices, which are generally installed in the external area of the properties and right after the water meter.

Water Filter has different models of central filters, which are designed to meet different needs and demands.

The company manufactures Water Filters that work without electricity and have an operating capacity to treat flows ranging from 800 liters per hour to 2000 liters/hour.

But the great asset of the water Filters are their seven layers of quartz, which make up their powerful and effective filtering system. This heart of the equipment is capable of removing residues and impurities from 5 to 15 µm.

The backwash feature is another differential of the Water Filters. It allows cleaning of the seven layers of quartz by reversing the flow of water.

The backwash technology saves money, as it reduces costs with maintenance services and the constant replacement of filter elements.

In addition to this whole package of benefits, Filters are high-performance products and technically certified by Inmetro (National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology).
