How to choose Water Filter/Purifier/Treatment?

What is clean drinking water?

WHO Guidelines for drinking-water quality

Drinking-water quality is an issue of concern for human health in developing and developed countries world-wide. The risks arise from infectious agents, toxic chemicalsand radiological hazards. Experience highlights the value of preventive management approaches spanning from water resource to consumer.


Why we need water filter/purifier/treatment?

Chlorine is the only known contaminant that most people know. Chlorine recently linked to cancer, heart desease, birth defect and many other serious illnesses.
Unfortunetly chlorine is not the only contaminant found in tap water; Mercury, Plumbum and many other hazardous chemicals including pesticide!

A recent Ralph Nader report stated, "After reviewing over 10,000 pages of EPA documents acquired through the Freedom Of Information Act... over 2100 chemicals that can cause cancer have been detected in U.S. tap water."

National Science Foundation (NSF) and Water Quality Association (WQA) is independent non-profit organization who provide test and certified water that safe to be taken.

Healthy clean water

A healthy clean water should naturally contain trace minerals such as magnesium, calsium, kalium etc. Small amount of trace minerals play big roles in our body system (only GOD knows). It also should clean from viruses, bacterias and micro-organisme living in the water.
