Drink Water.
In brief, this post will give an insight into the main varieties of drinking water that have become available to us due to the different types of filtration methods being used and which type of filtered water will best give you that additional benefit. It is necessary that you have safe water to drink.
Water Sources.
There are many sources of water. Stream water, tap water, well water and so on. We use filters at home which filter your tap water before we use it for drinking and cooking purposes.
Stream water.
That stream water is rich in minerals is a known fact. It has a rich mix of oxygen too, collected, as it rolls down the hills and mountains. That makes it the best water to drink.
However, disadvantage lies in the fact that it also has impurities in it and requires a purification treatment.
Well Water.
This too has its share of minerals but in addition heavy metals are also present. Well water in most places is contaminated by bacteria and chemicals. This happens due to improper maintaining of the well and its surroundings.
Tap Water.
However living in cities and towns, we have to make do with tap water which incidentally, is mineral rich and has fluoride added to it by the municipal corporations as per the guidelines laid down. This fluoride has a healing effect on the tooth cavities and can help prevent this dental problem. Tap water, too, will require purification at the users’ end to make it safer for human consumption.
Types of Water Purification.
We shall discuss here two main types of filtering methods used by water purifiers.
1) Reverse Osmosis or RO, in short.
This is a process of water purification where osmosis which takes place through a semi permeable membrane is reversed by application of pressure.
2) Alkaline Ionized water.
This purifies water by filtration and then electrolysis or ionization. The water so filtered is split into two parts:
- Acidic ionized water for non drinking purposes such as cleaning etc.
- Alkaline ionized water for drinking and cooking purposes.
Drinking water should be pure and its mineral content should be as intact as possible. Minerals are important to the body and absorption of them is better through fluids than foods.
- Water purified through Reverse Osmosis does not have minerals.
- Aqua guard water gives you purity and minerals.
- Alkaline ionized water gives you purity, minerals and alkalinity. Most of the diseases are associated with an acidic condition. Alkaline purified water will help to neutralize this acidic condition and prevent diseases.
Alkaline ionized water does have that additional advantage which water purified by other filtrations methods do not have.
