Is a water purifier useful?

Nowadays, with the improvement of people's living standards, many families choose to install water purifiers. Water purifiers can not only make tap water clean, but many people also believe that water purifiers can provide more trace elements, making our bodies healthier and the water quality fresher. However, many water purifiers on the market currently have certain side effects that should be noted. So, are water purifiers useful?

1. Improve tap water

Common water that is harmful to the human body includes industrial wastewater, pesticide-contaminated water, heavy metal water, animal excrement water, etc.; common harmful substances in water include bacteria, viruses, E. coli, particulate impurities, residual chlorine, etc. The water purifier can also purify all the toxic water mentioned above, and the water purifier can remove the harmful substances contained in the above water. The mission of a water purifier is to purify water quality and improve water sources. It can be installed in the kitchen to purify tap water (groundwater). It can effectively remove viruses, impurities, residual chlorine, heavy metals and other harmful substances in the water. Using purified water to wash vegetables, cook rice, and soak fruits is very healthy and beneficial.

2. Replace bottled water

Bottled water is extremely expensive and not suitable for daily household use. Bottled water is listed as daily water by most wealthy families, but this method is too expensive and not suitable for large-scale use, and the effect may not be as good as a water purifier. Bottled water is connected to a water dispenser, which has high cost, short shelf life and is more susceptible to secondary pollution. A barrel of bottled water costs about 70 yuan, which is relatively expensive. Moreover, most of this water is tap water processed by large-scale water purifiers or pure water machines, and there is very little natural well water on the market. Barrels of bottled water have a short storage time and are easy to deteriorate. After being connected to the water dispenser and used, they are in an open state and will be contaminated by pollutants in the air.
