Water is important for everyone’s health. Drinking enough water can prevent problems like dehydration, mood changes, constipation and kidney stones. It is also needed to regulate proper body temperature, protect joints and tissues, and rid the body of waste. While some water comes from foods like fruits and vegetables, most of it comes from drinking. Consuming impure water can cause a variety of health conditions, including diarrhea, nausea, gastrointestinal problems, intestinal pains and stomach aches.
According to the World Health Organization, 80% of human diseases are related to unsafe drinking water. Drinking contaminated water for a long period of time can have adverse effects on health.
So how is drinking water polluted and what are the long-term effects?
Some water is contaminated by biological pollution, such as bacteria, algae, parasites and other microorganisms. As a result, certain diseases like cholera, hepatitis, dysentery, typhoid and leptospirosis are transmitted by water. With the development of industry, inorganic pollution from the chemicals used for industrial wastewater contaminate water. Heavy metals like lead, mercury and chromium are pollutants that humans cannot discharge. As they build up in the body, these carcinogens can bring about long-lasting issues to the brain, central nervous function, lungs, liver, kidneys, and other vital organs.
In addition, due to various geographical and geological reasons, some areas have too many or too few elements in its water, which leads to regional diseases. Fluoride is one example in China. If it reaches a certain concentration in drinking water, it can affect bone development and the ability to stand upright without pain. Consuming arsenic-contaminated drinking water can lead to skin damage, skin cancer and peripheral neuropathy.
Organic pollution is another source for unclean water. Stemming from industrial emissions, agricultural substances like chemical fertilizers, pesticides and human waste are harmful and not easily eliminated. However, activated carbon adsorption and membrane filtration can effectively remove organic pollutants in drinking water.
Since contaminated water can spread diseases like dysentery, typhoid and polio, and even lead to death (more than one million people die every year of diarrheal diseases like cholera), clearly safe water is crucial for drinking, cleaning and cooking. It provides nourishment, maintains organ health, prevents diseases, helps the body get rid of toxins from outside sources, aids with safe agriculture and food production, and improves sanitation related to cooking and cleaning.
For lasting health, a high-quality water purification system is best. As an expert on clean water and clean water systems, Life Solutions has been providing safe and pure drinking water for people for more than two decades:
1. CCC (3C) certification
The products they produce are superior to ensure good health. All filter products pass CCC (3C) certification, exceed the cj94-2005 industrial standard of drinking water purification in China and use NSF certified water filters in all RO products. And all Billi systems are energy efficient. Our Billi Quadra, Quadra Plus and Eco models are better for the environment. They have been assessed and recognized by Global Green Tag – ‘one of the world’s most robust, trusted and widely recognized ecolabels,’ as being more beneficial for the planet than a conventional, similar business-as-usual product.
2. Top quality filter elements
Their purification equipment uses top quality filter elements and RO reverse osmosis membrane, which has an accuracy of 0.0001 μ m and can effectively separate and remove pollutants, including heavy metals, pesticides, viruses and bacteria.
3. Accurate temperature control
Their water filtration systems heat the water temperature in a short time and ensure the temperature control is accurate. It can be regulated for washing fruit and vegetables, cooking, and drinking hot or cold water.
4. Worry-free services
Their professional engineers make upkeep worry-free. They plan a return visit to see if maintenance is needed, replace the filter element at least three times a year and provide comprehensive, ongoing services.
A water purification system from Life Solutions is ideal to avoid drinking polluted water and dealing with the related long-term effects. They are efficient, providing drinking water that is healthy, delicious and convenient.
