How safe is our water?

With chemicals and pollutants invading our drinking, cooking and bathing water on a constant basis, we are never too far from contracting an illness or even life-threatening disease. While 20 years ago, the benefits of drinking filtered water were unheard of, today, more and more people are turning to water-filter systems to ensure a clean, healthy supply of calcium rich water. UK based water filter suppliers, Pressure Coolers have been helping to raise awareness of dangerous chemical ridden water for the last thirty years, witnessing an increase in number of people opting for a safer drinking supply.

Troublesome elements such as Iron, Manganese and Hydrogen sulphide have been responsible for the contamination of the water we drink. Having carried out intricate levels of industry research, Pressure Coolers is one of very few water filter companies to have identified the most effective systems for purification.

Hydrogen Sulphide in particular is an element that causes an unpleasant odour, making water near impossible to cook with or drink. Technologies employed within the POU Water cooler will filter out unpleasant chemicals such as Hydrogen Sulphide, Iron and Manganese. At the same time, the system will allow for both chilled and ambient or hot and chilled water, just in the same way as a bottle cooler.

Pressure Coolers Limited has been in the business of providing water filter systems since 1963 – well before the dangers of contaminated water were even publicized. As a sole distributor and service centre for OASIS water coolers, the company have been helping to spread the word about the dangers of tap water and the best methods for prevention of illnesses.

It is disturbing to discover that there are countless lethal water-based illnesses that can be inflicted, particularly if you are living in an area where the water is drawn from a local lake, river or valley – as these are areas in which animals and bacteria also breed. In fact unfiltered water can lead to a number of illnesses and diseases, including Anaemia, Diarrhoea, Flourosis and lead poisoning.

One of the most heated debates to surface in recent years has been the issue of fluoride in tap water. According to a report published in the Guardian newspaper, fluoride has been responsible for causing bone cancer in boys. Making reference to a new American study, the results indicated that boys aged between five and 10 “will suffer an increased rate of osteosarcoma” – otherwise known as bone cancer. Disturbing is the fact that the UK’s British Dental Association has approved fluoride, while the Department of Health maintain that the chemical is not only cost effective but will help prevent tooth decay in children.

The greater the levels of awareness concerning our water and its so-called regulation, the better and more effective measure we can take. According to Pressure Coolers, “it is essential that we are aware of the facts so that we can take effective action that will protect us and the health of our children.” For further details, please visit www.pressurecoolers.co.uk
