We should all be aware of the impact that single use plastic has on the environment and a big contributor to the problem is the use of bottled water. Thanks to Kinetico Water however, you can go plastic free and get clean filtered water on tap.
So why is plastic such an issue?
The problem with plastics is that they are non-biodegradable and therefore take millions of years to decompose. A lot of the plastics which we dispose of unfortunately end up in our oceans where they degrade, leaching marine-toxic chemicals into the water. This is bad enough if the plastic item has been used multiple times before disposal but many of the plastics we use are just single use. These plastics are designed to be used once before being sent to landfill or recycled and include everything from plastic water drink bottles, produce bags, disposable razors and packaging. Really any plastic item that you use and then immediately discard.
How can using filtered water help?
Experts recommend drinking around 2 litres of water a day so if you don’t like to drink tap water due to the taste or appearance, that can add up to an awful lot of plastic bottles. A Reverse Osmosis (RO) water filtration system will remove impurities from your tap water meaning that you can top up a refillable water bottle without having to compromise on taste. Reverse Osmosis is a simple but extremely effective water filtration process which works by using pressure to force water through a semipermeable membrane in order to remove any impurities. The contaminants which are filtered out are flushed away and you are left with clean, great tasting drinking water. RO systems will remove common chemical contaminants such as lead, chlorine sodium, chromium and copper and can reduce fluoride, calcium, magnesium, arsenic, radium, sulfate, potassium, nitrate, and phosphorous. As the water is filtered through several stages of membranes and filters, the resulting drinking water will be extremely pure.
