3 things that you must know about the water you drink

TDS in water

The water we drink everyday has minerals, salts and metals dissolved in it. These dissolved solids effect the taste, odor and quality of water. Whatever water purification method (RO purifiers, filter or bottled water) you adopt, it is very important to know the quality of the water your consume.

Some of the factors that determine the safety and quality of drinking water are:

Hard water and TDS

pH

It stands for power of Hydrogen. It measures how acidic or alkaline the water is. The figure ranges from 0-14 where pH 7 being neutral or pure, less than 7 indicates acidity and above 7 indicates alkalinity. The pH range of normal water  should be in the range  of 6 – 8.5.

Hardness

It indicates the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions present in water. The hardness of water measures the capacity of water to react with soap. Hard water require large amount of soap to produce lather. Hard water reacts with soap molecule and produces precipitate which can be seen as white deposition on the taps, bathroom fittings or kitchen utensils.

TDS

It is defines as “the inorganic salts and small amounts of organic matter present in solution in water. The principal constituents are usually calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium cations and carbonate, hydrogen carbonate, chloride, sulfate, and nitrate anions” (Source: WHO report, Guidelines for drinking-water quality, 2nd ed. Vol. 2. Health criteria and other supporting information). These dissolved solids affect the taste and quality of water.

So next time whenever you call for RO service or any other RO related help, ask the technician to test these 3 numbers. Permissible range of these numbers ensure purity and cleanliness of drinking water.

    These are the factors you need to consider, especially if you live in an area where the water is known to be naturally hard. I live in Phoenix so I have my own water filtration and softening installed in my house to prevent issues in health and damages to my plumbing systems. If you live in Phoenix as well, you could check out this site from a local HVAC to know more about water hardness and possible solutions for you.

    So I basically want to talk about water purifies in terms of water saving, energy saving and best products because I have a lot of experience with water purifiers in the past year as since we are discussing water and water saving , so the water which is our most important part should also be clean and clear So the questions are Are these worth it? Are all purifiers actually same? Do they really work or is their any difference bw technology? The thing about all water purifiers is that they are based on same technology but if we talk about something different upon my experience as i am middle east citizen who lives in UAE. I would suggest “Eureka Forbes UAE” in terms of their water purifiers which use RO and UV water purifying technology they are really great in terms of energy saving and taste, along with this they also offer other unique water solutions and products from domestic to industrial level, but I personally recommend Eureka Forbes Dubai for their customer service which is really fast, responsive. If you are here looking for a best water purifier or water processing technologies i.e. UV Sterilizers, Water Softeners, Fine Sediment, Water Filter etc they are using MURAL CRM for customer management and service scheduling, https://eurekaforbes.ae #waterfilter #waterfilters #aquaguard #eurekaforbes #bestwaterpurifiersindubai #DubaiWaterFilters #EurekaForbesDubai #DubaiROFilters #
