Everyday issues with tap water

The tap water we use every day for drinking (making tea, coffee, cordial…) or cooking (boiled vegetables, pasta, rice, fruits…) can carry harmful substances (lead, chlorine, mercury, aluminium, cadmium, fluorine…) which can gradually build up inside the body. Even in tiny quantities, this is unhealthy for us as some substances
like nitrates can be very dangerous.

There are numerous examples of pollution cases in European countries where cattle or industries accidentally disperse organic elements into the ground. These elements, after chemical degradations and seepage end up in the ground water. All this has consequences in terms of pollution of tap water.

Some harmful germs (salmonella, E. coli…) can under certain conditions, pass through the filtration processes… For this reason some consumers do not see water filtration products as luxury goods, but as compulsory items to have at home.
