The various filter materials used in purifiers, such as activated carbon, CUZN copper-zinc alloy filter media, and polyphosphate antiscalants, can remove impurities and contaminants while protecting pipes and extending the lifespan of water equipment. This is why many households choose to install water purifiers to ensure the safety and quality of their drinking water.
Whether tap water is drinkable directly depends on its treatment process and the water quality standards in the area.
Treated Tap Water: In most countries and regions, tap water undergoes strict treatment processes before being supplied, including filtration, disinfection, and other steps to ensure the water meets drinking water standards. Therefore, in these areas, tap water is generally safe to drink, especially in urban areas.
Water Quality Standards: Before entering households, tap water is tested according to national or regional water quality standards to ensure it does not contain harmful substances such as bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, etc., and meets public health requirements. Therefore, tap water that meets these standards is generally safe to drink.
Potential Issues: Old Pipe Issues: If the pipes are aging or maintenance is inadequate, water quality may deteriorate, and there may be odors or harmful substances. Therefore, adding food-grade polyphosphate antiscalants, antiscalant balls, and other filter materials can improve the taste of drinking water while protecting pipes from corrosion and rust.
Regional Differences: Water quality may vary in different regions. In some places, the water source may be polluted or contain higher levels of minerals, which could affect the taste and health of the water.
Home Treatment: If people have concerns about tap water quality, many choose to install filters or purifiers to further improve the water quality and ensure it is safer.
Although tap water that meets water quality standards can be consumed directly, installing a water purifier in cases of old pipes or water contamination can effectively improve the quality and taste of water. The various filter materials used in purifiers, such as activated carbon, CUZN copper-zinc alloy filter media, and polyphosphate antiscalants, can remove impurities and contaminants while protecting pipes and extending the lifespan of water equipment.
