Everyone knows that staying hydrated is critical, but many people are unaware that not all water is equal. Today, we will take you through the different types of safe drinking water available, weighing their benefits and potential risks, and how you can gain access to deliciously clean water.
What Impacts the Quality of Healthy Drinking Water?
When it comes to healthy drinking water, there is much that impacts its purity. In 2017, nearly 77 million Americans were served by water systems that violated the Safe Drinking Water Act, exposing them to potential contaminants.
Various factors come into play when determining whether one has access to healthy drinking water. For example, the original water source is one of the most significant factors. However, its distribution systems, the pipes it runs through, and how the water is treated play critical roles as well. Therefore, before you take a sip, it is vital to consider the “type” of water you are drinking.
Comparing Different Types of Safe Drinking Water
As a society, we have the privilege to access a wide variety of safe drinking water, but some are better than others. Let’s run through a quick explanation of each:
- Tap Water (i.e. the water you get from your sink) is regulated by the EPA. However, aging infrastructure and the surrounding environmental conditions can contaminate the water. Alternatively, if you have city tap water, it may contain disinfectants like chlorine or fluoride.
- Bottled Water is a convenient water product that the FDA regulates. However, depending on the quality of the plastic, it may contain microplastics. Additionally, while convenient on the road, plastic waste is a one-use item that harms the environment.
- Mineral Water is a water product naturally rich in minerals, which can improve taste. However, mineral water is expensive and unsustainable since it requires constant sourcing. Additionally, it may contain excessive levels of some minerals, which may impact one’s health.
- Alkaline Water is marketed as a “healthy” water due to its heightened pH levels. However, this expensive product is unnecessary for most healthy individuals. Additionally, some studies suggest excessive alkaline water can disrupt digestion and metabolism.
- Filtered Water, commonly used in residential cases, is a great way to remove common impurities to improve taste and safety. However, it has limitations; some contaminants may still get through depending on the filter type and quality. Additionally, filters require maintenance and replacement.
- Distilled Water is a high-quality, safe drinking water free of contaminants. While it lacks essential minerals, it is an excellent option for work environments.
- Purified Water, especially purified water that undergoes vapor dilation, is of the highest quality, healthy drinking water available. Its filtration process removes nearly all contaminants, and is an excellent choice for residential and commercial spaces.
Why Paradise Bottled Water is the Best Choice for Healthy Drinking Water
At Paradise Bottled Water, our goal is to be a local solution for superior hydration. We offer two types of water: vapor distilled water and purified water.
Vapor Distilled Water:
Our vapor distilled water undergoes an extensive treatment process to ensure it is of the purest form, free from inorganic minerals, heavy metals, chlorine, and volatile organic chemicals. Before it even reaches our distiller, it goes through a water softening process, a carbon filter, Reverse osmosis, and UV light sterilization. Then, it enters a heat chamber where it is boiled at 218 F. The resulting steam is then condensed back into liquid water, leaving impurities behind. The final product boasts unparalleled purity, giving you safe drinking water to enjoy!
Purified Water:
Our purified water undergoes a meticulous process to remove nearly all impurities, including inorganic minerals, heavy metals, chlorine, and volatile organic chemicals. It starts with a carbon filtration and water softening, before heading into a particulate filtration, and then our reverse osmosis system. After, it is sterilized and disinfected with UV light before being submitted to our O-Zone and Oxygen process and then bottled! The result is a refreshing, healthy drinking water!
Choose the Best Water for Your Health
