You should drink about two liters of water every day. Buying water in plastic bottles is undoubtedly not ecological, and it is also quite expensive. That is why it is worth considering tap water conditioners.

Can you actually drink tap water?
Drinking water without sediments, but with the addition of magnesium, has a very good effect on human health. Many people, however, wonder whether it is possible to drink water directly from the tap and without boiling it. In theory, in most Polish cities such water is suitable for consumption, but it may be full of sediments and have a chlorine taste. Of course, the dose of chlorine is completely safe, but this does not mean that such water tastes good. There are situations when tap water is contaminated.
High levels of bacteria, salts and viruses are dangerous to our health, which is why water treatment is so important. You can choose a water treatment plant that removes high levels of boiler scale. It also ensures the removal of boiler salts and effective filtration. A water treatment plant is used in sanitary engineering. It plays a similar role to a sewage treatment plant.
It can be equipped with various types of filters, e.g. pressure filters, but also aerators, as well as filters that remove bacteria. The water treatment plant should be selected according to the demand. Water parameter testers certainly play an important role. Based on their results, you can select the appropriate filter. Water tests are also useful for assessing the efficiency of the filter. They allow you to measure the level of iron, but also hardness or pH.
How to properly calculate the capacity requirements of a water treatment plant?
Many people wonder how to properly calculate the capacity requirements of a water treatment plant. It is important to know that the number of residents must be taken into account, as well as the amount of water used per month. The degree of water hardness and the number of water intake points in the house are also taken into account. As a rough guide, we can assume that a family of four uses 10 m3 of water per month.
In this case, a device with 20 to 25 liters of bed should be used. In order for the station to work effectively, it is important to perform contamination level tests beforehand. In addition, it is taken into account whether the water is taken from a private intake or from the waterworks.
The capacity of the ion exchange bed should not be less than 20 l. Water consumption also plays an important role. It may turn out that if you run your business from home and receive customers, the consumption increases by up to 30%. Water softening is a process that provides protection of devices from sediments. Additionally, water softeners eliminate the unpleasant smell of flowing water. The water softening process itself consists of removing components from it that affect its hardness.
Water filtration and treatment using reverse osmosis
Reverse osmosis is a really interesting process that involves the flow of a solvent from a solution with a higher concentration to a solution with a lower concentration. As a result, it removes micro-pollutants and allows you to obtain crystal clear water. A semi-permeable membrane is used, called an osmotic membrane. Of great importance is the fact that even organic pollutants are removed.
You can reach for reverse osmosis devices . These products can be described as unrivaled, because they even remove microorganisms and bacteria or viruses. It is therefore worth deciding on a reverse osmosis filter, because thanks to it, the parameters of drinking water are improved. You can consume tap water directly.

Water purification with activated carbon
The water treatment plant also uses activated carbon to purify water. They remove volatile compounds, hydrocarbons, and even dust, sand, and plant particles from water. This type of filter is especially recommended if the user has their own water deposits, although such filters are also very effective in the case of sewage. They can be placed, for example, under the sink.
They do not take up much space, and at the same time allow you to achieve really clean and healthy water. They remove up to 80 chemical substances. They catch herbicides and pesticides. At the same time, such cartridges are very economical and work very well in the long-term process of use. Of course, the installation is not complicated. They are used in houses, blocks of flats, but also company buildings or public places. They can be placed in the bathroom or kitchen.
They are a very important part of the water treatment system. Of course, you can also use filters with a water hardness regulator. If you need manual control, they provide excellent regulation of salt consumption, but are also easy to use. There are also filters available that can be mounted on the main cold water connection.
Water hardness softeners and water quality at home
When choosing softening filters, you should know that the water softening process is based on ion exchange. A special cation exchange resin is used. An important part of water treatment systems can also be aerators, which reduce water consumption and allow for significant savings. You also do not have to worry about your equipment, e.g. an electric kettle, rusting.
Water softening allows you to maintain the functionality of RTV and household appliances for a much longer period of time. Softening prevents scale growth and destruction of equipment. In the treatment process, water softening is also important for protecting fittings. Under the influence of hard water, metal elements can begin to corrode and additionally contaminate the water. The entire process takes place quickly, namely the hard water flows through the ion exchange resin.
When the ion exchange capacity of the bed is exhausted, it undergoes a regeneration process using a special brine. Salt is used in the softening process, but the properties of sodium have a beneficial effect on the body's functioning and do not pose a threat, provided that the permissible amount in water is not exceeded.
When is it worth subjecting water to the process of demanganization or deironing?
Water disinfection devices and accessories are essential to remove contaminants found in water. Their use improves safety, but also allows for the correct operation of the entire installation. Therefore, water can be successfully consumed without boiling. Among the processes used to improve the taste and parameters of water, iron removal is also used. It consists in removing excessive amounts of iron compounds. The entire process is carried out by aeration in devices such as iron removers. This is a particularly good solution when water is taken from a well.
In addition, it is necessary when the water is hard. Water iron removal is recommended when the iron content in water is elevated. Remember that the norm is 0.2 µg/liter. Water demanganization is the removal of manganese salts. For this purpose, appropriate catalysts are used. They are most often used similarly to iron removers, i.e. in the case of water from a deep well. When using demanganization, remember that the process should be repeated regularly depending on the manganese content in drinking water.
