Health out of the tap

Tap water is unrivalled low priced and available at any time. However the long way from the water works to the consumer reduces its quality. Water filters can provide pure and healthy drinking water directly out of the tap.

Water is our most precious natural resource. Drinking a lot of water keeps you in a good shape and the circulation going, improves the blood circulation, detoxicates and purifies the organism. The fluid in our body supports the metabolism, transports nutrients and regulates the body temperature. We loose approximately two litres of this vital fluid every day. We must replace this amount constantly– preferably with pure water that is of high quality, with a low price and is free of calories. Therefore it has aspects that other beverages do not provide.

From the spring into the home

For sure, the purest water is available in the mountains where it comes up out of the ground. But not everybody lives in a place with such a supply of spring water. However you do not have to haul boxes of expensive mineral water to your home. We have the privilege – unlike the people in many other countries of the world – that we can draw our drinking water directly from the water tap without any effort. This also has an ecological advantage thus a bottle of mineral water often travels hundreds of kilometres across Europe before getting into the shelf of the local supermarket. Admittedly, the high engineered conditioning in the water works and the inevitable stagnation in containers and the pipe system reduce the natural taste of the drinking water considerably. After some years water pipes can get a quite unappetising look because of various disposals. Who once has seen such a pipe will not want to draw drinking water from it again.

Indeed there are regulations concerning the admissible amount of contaminants in the drinking water but not everything that has been approved of is also healthy. That is why the following should apply for our most precious natural resource: the less unnatural substances the better.

Savoury water thanks to filters

That is where activated-carbon block filters apply: They protect without using chemical substances and retain contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides or residues of medicaments through the cohesion of baked activated carbon without filtering out vital minerals. The result is hygienically pure drinking water comparable with still mineral water. Water of this high quality provides excellent taste for tea or coffee.
