Pure or Polluted?
Drinking water and staying hydrated is essential for maintaining good health. According to studies, more than 80% of people prefer bottled water. Bottled water has the characteristics of purity, sanitation and convenience for drinking. However, there are hundreds of brands in the bottled water market, and recent news about unqualified, random inspection of packaged water raises new concerns about how healthy the drinking healthy is. Although bottled water appears clean and safe, it does not mean that it is.
1. While bottled water looks pure and sanitary…
It is important to know where the water comes from to be sure. There are many types of water on the market, like purified water, mineral water, distilled water, active water, oxygen enriched water, natural water, space water, ionic water, to name a few. How and where water is bottled may affect how healthy and safe the water is to drink. Factors such as the sun’s irradiation, bacteria and air pollution may contaminate water and make it a health hazard. Thus, the placement and selection of bottled water are very important.
2. Precautions for storing bottled water
The following are some suggestions to help ensure the safety of barreled water:
2-1. Once the bottle of drinking water is opened, the drinking time should not exceed 15 days. It can easily breed bacteria if it remains too long.
2-2. To maintain its purity,it should be stored with the water dispenser or covered tightly.
2-3. For best sanitation, it should be protected from the sun, the surrounding environment should be clean, and it should not be stored in a place with peculiar odors.
2-4.To preserve it from unwanted contamination, it should not be placed near indoor plants or power sockets.
3.Tips for selecting bottled water
There are many factors to consider when selecting bottled water, ranging from proper material to external conditions:
Tips- 1
Choose new bottles since older ones wear out, are difficult to clean and eventually breed bacteria. Compared to light blue or light green bottles, colorless bottles are easier to check the quality of water.
Tips- 2
Pay attention to the production date of the water and drink products that are produced recently. The quality of the water with a shelf life that is about to expire is less ideal.
Tips- 3
Ensure the barrel is sealed. If the lid rotates easily or water seeps out, it is an indication that the cover is not tightly sealed and the water may not be pure.
Tips- 4
Choose bottles in good condition. If labels are incomplete or blackened, it may indicate that the water has been bottled for a long time and may be a health hazard.
Tips- 5
Selecting water production enterprises that are well-known and have food production licenses is the usually the safest option. Considering a water purification system is another.
