Is your water really clean?

Clean water is essential for our survival and health, whether is it used for drinking, domestic use, food production or medical care.

A study by BioMed Central (BMC) suggests that a lack of access to clean drinking water kills 42,000 people every week. According to the World Health Organization, 0.7 billion people do not have a basic drinking-water service and out of the people who do, at least 2 billion people use a source that is highly contaminated. In developing countries, approximately 4500 children die every day due to poor basic sanitation facilities and contaminated water. Nevertheless, did you know that this is not only a problem in developing or under developed countries? It is a global concern.

Over 1 billion people across the globe do not have access to clean, safe drinking water. These numbers are increasing day by day and that is a cause of concern since improvements in the quality of drinking water can have a significant impact on a person’s health. Therefore, it is our responsibility to make sure that we are providing clean, healthy water to our families. How do you ensure that the water you drink/use is clean and reliable? The answer is simple – invest in a trustworthy and durable water filteration system.

Using a water filtration system in your home is the most convenient way of purifying your water for domestic and drinking use, without keeping you in any doubt. Al Saggaf offers a range of water filtration systems including Atlas DP Water Filter Duo and Atlas Depural Transparent Water Filter Mono – now available on our website.

Once your water filtration is up and running, it will only be effective if you maintain and service it when needed. You need to replace the water filter catridges as per the time instructed by the Water Filter brand. Failure to do so can lead to clogged filters, contaminated water which may link to many diseases such as; cholera, salmonella, dysentery, hepatitis A and waterborne disease. Hence, make sure you follow the instructions for your specific water filter model.

This change in your household will improve the quality of your water, making a significant change in your health as well as decreasing any health care expenses. Therefore, it is vital to invest in a water filtration system to save the health and future of your family.

Debunking the myth: Some individuals believe that boiling water removes every impurity but that is not the case. Boiling water can only remove solids and bacteria, leaving the harmful substances such as, chlorine and lead, which may become more dangerous after boiling.
