Why Purified Water Matters ?

Why Purified Water Matters ?

Written By : Zam Semuyaba

According to The Department of Water and Sanitation (2023), 50% of South Africa's drinking water is deemed unsafe for consumption. This alarming statistic underscores the need for reliable sources of safe drinking water. At H2ohhh, we are committed to ensuring that every drop of water you drink is pure, safe, and contributes to a healthier, more sustainable future.

Water makes up approximately 70% of the human body and is essential for countless bodily functions. Consuming safe, purified water is critical to maintaining health, well-being, and overall quality of life.

What is Purified Water?

According to research (Kubala, 2018) Purified water, is water that has been treated to remove impurities such as harmful chemicals, bacteria, and other contaminants. This type of water is typically derived from sources like groundwater or tap water, which are then subjected to a purification process to enhance its safety and quality.

Unlike tap, spring, or distilled water, purified water goes through advanced filtration processes like reverse osmosis, distillation, or deionisation.

  • Tap water: Often treated to meet basic safety standards but may still contain trace contaminants.
  • Spring water: Drawn from natural springs but can include naturally occurring minerals and impurities.
  • Purified water: Offers the highest level of purity, removing harmful pollutants while retaining essential minerals.

At H2ohhh, we use a meticulous purification process, including reverse osmosis, to guarantee the highest level of water purity, setting us apart as a trusted provider of clean and safe drinking water.
