Public network water reaches our homes daily, being used not only for cooking and washing, but also for direct consumption. Even though it is treated at purification stations and meets imposed standards, it can still contain hidden contaminants that affect health. Identifying these substances and finding a solution to remove them is essential for a healthy life.

1. Chlorine

Chlorine is widely used to disinfect tap water. Although effective against bacteria, chlorine leaves a strong taste and smell that is hard to tolerate. Long-term consumption is not recommended, and when combined with organic matter in the water, it can result in harmful secondary compounds.

2. Heavy metals

Old water pipes can release heavy metals such as lead, copper, or zinc. These substances accumulate in the body and can cause neurological, kidney, or digestive problems. Even in small quantities, their effects are serious, especially for children and pregnant women.

3. Sediments and rust

As water travels through pipes, especially in areas with older infrastructure, particles of rust and sediments can break off. These affect the taste of water and can block appliances, but more importantly, they can hide dangerous microorganisms.

4. Pesticides and chemicals

In agricultural areas, pesticides and herbicides can reach groundwater and eventually the tap water supply. Even at low concentrations, these substances pose a long-term health risk, being associated with hormonal disorders and immune system problems.

5. Microplastics

A growing concern in recent years is microplastics. These tiny particles enter water from plastic waste and can carry toxic substances into the body. The problem is that they are invisible and cannot be detected without complex analyses.

How an Aquator filter removes them

An Aquator water filter installed at the kitchen sink is the ideal solution to eliminate these contaminants. Thanks to sintered activated carbon technology, water passes through microchannels that retain chlorine, sediments, heavy metals, and organic substances. At the same time, the cartridges filter mechanically down to 0.5 microns, meaning fine particles, including microplastics, are blocked.

The presence of silver in the filter's composition adds a bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect, preventing the development of bacteria inside the cartridge. Thus, the resulting water is clean, safe, and has a natural taste.

The importance of replacing the cartridge

For the filter to operate optimally, it is necessary to periodically replace the water filter cartridge. This is a simple yet essential operation to maintain performance and ensure the safety of the water consumed daily.

Conclusion

Even though tap water goes through a treatment process, hidden contaminants can pose a real health risk. Chlorine, heavy metals, pesticides, sediments, and microplastics are just a few of the issues we face. An Aquator water filter installed at your kitchen sink is an effective solution to eliminate these risks. With the filter cartridge changed on time, you have the guarantee of pure and healthy water, right at home.
