Failing to drink enough water can have serious detrimental effects on your body. This is why it’s so important to make sure that you have access to plenty of this vital fluid. But, you also need to make sure that the water you are drinking is clean and fresh.

You may have seen a drinking fountain or water bubbler, in the office block where you work. These devices are there for a reason. They help to ensure that everyone has access to water that tastes good and is safe to drink.

    1. Why is the water from the tap not good enough?

Many people do drink water straight from the tap, but it’s not the best thing to do. When you see what can be present in tap water, you can understand why.

  • Chlorine that is used to treat the water at the water treatment plant.

  • Dirt that collects in the water as it’s pumped to your home.

  • Pesticides and other additives that can get into the water as it travels along water pipes, on its way to your domestic water supply.

Do you really want to drink any of these things? The good news is that there is a way of making sure you get only clean water in the glass that you fill.

    1. How do drinking fountains and water bubblers help?

Drinking fountains and water bubblers can be used to filter water. This means that the water you get from them is good to taste, and safe to drink. Of course, these types of filtration unit are most often used in large buildings, such as office blocks.

There are different types of filtration system that you can use in your home. Counter top units are one of the most affordable choices. They do not need to be plumbed in and they can simply be placed on the counter top in your kitchen, and attached to the tap. The downside of this type of system is that it takes up valuable space. The amount of water you can filter at one time is also relatively small.

You may prefer to invest in an under sink system, for which plumbing is required. The system is hidden away, and you are able to filter more water than you can with a counter top system.

Whichever water filtration system you choose, it can help make sure that the water which comes from the tap is safe for you and your family to drink. Substances such as dirt, chlorine and pesticides are filtered out. All that is left is pure water. This means that the drink you get tastes fresh, and not of chemicals. You can enjoy several refreshing glasses of water each day. Doing so helps to keep you hydrated which in turn helps to keep your body healthy. You can see just how important it is to make sure you have a plentiful supply of clean water in your home.
