Is Your Water Safe To Drink?
At Bio Cache we specialise in affordable water disinfection and filtration products, so when we asked this question to MoyaApp users the results were frightening:
People Surveyed
This Means That
of the people in our survey have to worry about how safe their water is to drink.
Even Tap Water Can
Make You Sick
Over 70% of the people in our survey got their water from a municipal tap either at their home or from a communal tap. Meaning that even our tap water is becoming unsafe to drink!
Even more concerning is that over 40% of people said that they got sick after drinking their water.
But I Can Boil My Water To Make It Safe To Drink?
While boiling your water can make it safe to drink it still comes with risks:
Boiling Pro's
- Kills most known water diseases
- As easy as just boiling your kettle or pot
- So long as your water container looks clean your boiling water should also kill any bacteria in it
Boiling Con's
- If you let the water cool down it could become infected by someone touching it or if it's in an open container
- If there is load shedding you can't easily boil your water
- It can become expensive if you use electricity or gas to boil your water
- If your water is not boiling (when pouring it into the container) and your container is not clean then the container could infect your water
And this is if you are lucky enough to have water coming out of your tap or you have access to water tankers...
You Can Become
Seriously Sick
More often then not if you are unable to at very least boil your water then you run the risk of falling ill. And if you are unlucky enough to become very ill then you may need to be admitted to hospital
This then also comes at an additional cost of the transportation to the hospital, the cost of the doctor and even less pay due to missed days of work...
What Are Your Options Then?
There are affordable solutions to keep your water safe to drink. Even if you cannot boil it due to load or water shedding. This means that if you need to get your water from rain, dams, rivers or even water that you may not trust you will know that it is still safe to drink for you and your family.
