Water is the most precious commodity (it becomes even more so with a water purifier). And we all know it.
However, we do not always pay it due attention and we tend to take it for granted. From the point of view of availability, accessibility, purity and quality.
None of these are negligible aspects, especially the last one.
For several years now the topic regarding the safety of the water we drink has been much debated and debated and has tiptoed into our homes, becoming a very interesting and current topic of discussion.
We all have multiple taps and mixers at home and sometimes choose to drink water from them.
The questions that arise are many.
Is it safe to quench your thirst with home water?
Basically yes.
Both the water marketed in supermarkets and the aqueduct water is subjected to rigorous controls and, if necessary, purified.
There is therefore no type of problem present upstream which, however, could arise in the path that the water takes upon arrival directly in our homes, if the hydraulic systems and pipes are not periodically evaluated by experts in the sector who can certify their perfect operation and maintenance.
Tap water is environmentally friendly?
That's right, because by choosing it you save on the use of plastic, on the recycling of bottles and you contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions linked to transport to points of sale.
Furthermore, by giving up the purchase of packaged water, you also obtain a small economic saving on your daily spending.
Aqueduct vs bottled water: pros and cons
The water we buy in the store is a finished product, because it arrives in our homes ready to be enjoyed. From the aqueduct, however, we receive a pre-controlled and purified element which can "lose" its purity on the aqueduct-home journey.
But is it possible to restore the initial condition? Of course yes!
And it is worth doing so, because important benefits relating to health safety, economic savings, availability and contribution to environmental protection can be obtained immediately and in the long term.
How to purify home water?
The answer to this question is really very simple: it is sufficient to purchase a domestic water purifier, a device specifically created to improve the taste and smell of home water which at the same time eliminates impurities and any harmful substances (chlorine, metals , bacteria of various nature, chemical particles, etc) present.
Purified water can be obtained through products that include different installation methods and purification technologies, so the choice is wide and suitable for all budgets.
The simplest and least economically demanding option takes into consideration water purifiers with direct installation on a tap or dispenser, while devices placed under the sink or on a separate line require a higher budget, as well as more space available.
How does a home water purifier work?
Purification technology also plays its part: basically there are activated carbon filters which over time require regular and periodic replacement, a bit like what happens with kitchen hood filters.
We also hear a lot about reverse osmosis, a very effective filtration method for which, however, the waste of a certain quantity of water must also be considered.
More advanced but less widespread water purification systems employ UV sterilization, i.e. the elimination of contaminants using ultraviolet rays, or ionization filtration which also helps to improve the pH value of the water.
What are the best home water purifiers?
The time has come to find out which are the best purification products on the market to install directly in your kitchen, above or below your sink.
We present the most loved and most purchased products by our customers for the purification of their domestic water.
