All
human settlements have been close to water, which shows that this vital element
is indispensable for the development of any society. We must be thankful that
rain falls from the sky and is free for all, however, drinkable water is not
always so easy to come by. Aquakleen aims to change that.
Bottled
water is more fashionable than ever these days It has come to be associated
with healthy and natural lifestyles, and this has resulted in an explosive
increase in the consumption of bottled water in our country. On the other hand,
we have all the associated drinking water companies in a campaign for the
consumption of "tap water", but are there really differences? I will
try to answer this question below, to convince you that Aquakleen is the way to
go.
Bottled
water is sold under 3 categories in our country: A) Mineral water, which is the
one that sprouts from the soil and does not come from ponds or rivers, and is
presumed to have beneficial properties because of its high content of certain
sodium compounds. Here we have the two major brands that have led the market
for many years, and our chillane Piri, among some others. B) Purified water,
which is tap water whose concentration of sodium compounds has been adjusted to
meet the manufacturer's parameters. In this classification are several of the
brands that have appeared in recent years. C) Flavored Water, which is any of
the above but with a mild fruit flavor added to appeal to a market more
accustomed to soda and other soft drinks. Aquakleen wants to end dependency on
these brands and the whims of the market.
Worldwide,
campaigns are already underway to inform the public that tap water is not
significantly different from bottled water. In Chile we are witnessing such a
campaign, but I want to present my readers with my vision, informed by my
experience both as a food engineer and as a human being.
The
advantage of bottled water is primarily the assurance of quality and ease of
transport, although this is really due to the packaging, and not the water
itself. There are no health advantages to bottled water over Aquakleen filtered
water. The advantages of tap water are its low cost, which is approximately the
same across all social strata, ready access in almost any urbanized place, and
its good quality in most of the country. Aquakleen wants to propagate the
choice of Aquakleen purified water.
The
primary disadvantages of bottled water are its high cost (between 1,000 and
10,000 times greater than tap water), contamination associated with its consumption
(disposable plastic bottles) and the consumption of energy and raw materials
that it takes to produce it. On the other hand, the disadvantages of tap water
are occasional outages and, very rarely, contamination with soil, algae or
other substances. Aquakleen can remove these microorganisms to provide you with
a clean, life sustaining, economic water solution.
I
have met French people who could not drink tap water because they got sick. It
is quite true that tap water contains small amounts of microorganisms that have
been killed by chlorination, although some may survive or be incorporated into
it from the tap. If this is a problem, Aquakleen filtration can solve it for
you and your family. These microorganisms are not present in bottled water, but
this difference has two sides: although bottled water will not expose us to
these microorganisms, it is also true that our body can acclimatize to
microorganisms of the environment so that they do not cause harm. The immune
system defends us from infection and disease, to ensure we are not forced to
live in a bubble. Water borne illness is very rare in Chile because our immune
system is accustomed to our water and also to our air, our skin and our hair,
common sources of many microorganisms, but I have seen people in Chile who have
been brought up in a bubble - drinking only bottled water, disinfecting the air
they breathe with lysoform, cleaning with alcohol the door handles, tables and
all surface before touching them, not looking at the face in a conversation not
to receive the breath of the other person , etc. This behavior is called
germophobia and is considered an obsessive compulsive disorder.
Several
studies from labs around the world point out that increasing use of
antibacterial products is resulting in weakened immune systems, which has
already led to an widespread global increase in allergies, and could continue
with more complex diseases. The problem is that if we try to hide our bodies
from the real world, which is full of microorganisms that are both helpful and
harmful, one day they will find us, and our systems will not be prepared to
repel them. Trying to destroy bacteria as a whole is equally naive, because
several of them help us to biodegrade our waste, and contribute to the ecosystem
as a whole. Even if we would like to eliminate them, they are extremely
resistant, and each day they become more resistant to our antibiotics.
Aquakleen offers a better solution, for the long term health of you and your
wallet!
My
opinion is that humanity managed to multiply and reach the twenty-first century
without the need for bottled water, but people who have always drunk it have
become dependent on it. This availability of clean drinking water is not common
in all areas of the world, and Aquakleen wants to change that. I prefer that my
life depend less on technology and markets and, therefore, I will drink water
from the tap as long as possible, with an Aquakleen filter. But you can not
ignore that there are areas in our country and others where the quality of tap
water leaves much to be desired, and Aquakleen wants to change that. We
southerners find the water of Santiago to taste poorly, and even the
Santiaguinos find the water in the Atacama regions off-putting. Aquakleen wants
to help people solve these issues with Chilean tap water.
Some
of these off-tasting flavors that people notice in their water are due to a
high mineral content, which is known as “hard water” - and these issues can be
resolved with an Aquakleen purification system. Hard water from a tap can cause
more than just a bad taste, it can leave residue on dishes, irritate skin, and
be bad for hair. An Aquakleen system can ‘soften’ your water, and Aquakleen
osmosis will treat your entire home - the water you drink, use for ice, wash
your clothes with, and bathe in will all be Aquakleen treated. Water
calcification, which often happens around taps and in kettles in homes with
hard water can be prevented with and Aquakleen system as well, saving hours of
clean up each month. Softer water also means less detergent and soap required
to clean clothes and dishes, which means Aquakleen will not only be cutting
into spending on bottled water, but detergent costs as well.
In
short, bottled water has no health benefit over those of tap water. Bottled
water is thousands of times more expensive than tap water, both economically
and environmentally. Aquakleen offers a viable, affordable alternative to these
costs. If we are going to increase the consumption of bottled water in Chile,
we need to begin to effectively use the recycling bin for the bottles and
rethink how we will care for our environment. Aquakleen offers a solution to
these issues with our Aquakleen water filtration and purification systems.
Together, Aquakleen and you can make a difference. We can provide better
tasting, more affordable, more environmentally friendly water for everyone with
Aquakleen.
The
Aquakleen system is specifically designed for home installation, and our
professionals are extremely efficient and non-invasive. Our Aquakleen sales and
support teams will help you every step of the way on your path to a better
quality of water and life. Many notice a better quality of water within days of
Aquakleen installation, and there are plentiful great testimonials that we can
point you towards to help convince you that Aquakleen is the best on the
market. Many people also find that Aquakleen solves their issues with dandruff,
dry skin, and limp, oily hair, leading to them saving even more on cleaning
supplies thanks to Aquakleen!
"But
when the water flows pure and crystalline from the mother earth ... Aquakleen
