Featured Item of the Week! Life Plus Filtration System from Aqua Ultraviolet

DO YOU NEED TO FILTER YOUR HOME WATER?

In the USA, drinking water is standardized and regulated by the EPA to ensure the supplied water is ranked amongst the highest quality in the world. Even with this regulation, contamination is still everywhere leading to diseases and illness caused by waterborne germs. For instance, we hear about E-Coli outbreaks in the US alone induce 265,000 illnesses and around100 deaths per year (NCDHHS, p.1, 2019). Many American families have taken it upon themselves to provide extra precautions to protect themselves from other pollutants and even to improve the taste of their home drinking water through home water filters. Water filtration systems “remove impurities from water by means of a physical barrier, chemical, and/or biological process” (CDC, P.1, 2015).

HOW IS COMMUNITY WATER FILTERED?

Community tap water is filtered through a few different steps. This process starts with “coagulation and flocculation” where positively charged chemicals are added to the water and bind to dirt and other particles that have a negative charge. When the two bind together, the charge is neutralized and they “form a larger particle that is called a floc” (CDC, P.1, 2015). The weight of the floc sinks the particles to the bottom called “sedimentation”. After the floc settles, the “clear water on top will pass through filters of varying compositions (sand, gravel, and charcoal) and pore sizes” (CDC, P.1, 2015). to remove dust, viruses, bacteria and other harmful contaminants. After this filtration process, a common disinfectant such as Chlorine is added to kill any parasites, bacteria and viruses left over and to protect water when it is hooked up to our home pipes.
