Drawbacks of Purifying Water by Boiling

How Pure is your Purified Water?

All human beings are dependent on water for their survival. Pure and clean water is the basic foundation of a healthy life. Drinking pure water helps to speed up the digestion process and helps to maintain muscles in good shape. A fresh supply of oxygen is delivered to the body when we provide it with clean water regularly. This is why the average person is required to drink about eight to ten glasses of water on a daily basis. But is the water we drink, really safe for us to consume?

Water contains 3 types of impurities: suspended impurities such as mud & sand; micro-biological impurities such as bacteria, viruses and cysts; and dissolved impurities such as salts, metals, pesticides and insecticides. Some of these may be harmful and some can also have detrimental effects on our health. It is therefore, essential for us to take effective measures to purify the water we intake.

People at large believe Boiling is the best method to make water pure. Boiling water can destroy bacteria & viruses but it fails to remove dissolved impurities like harmful salts. The logic is simple - if we boil water containing dissolved sugar or salt, the water will remain sweet or salty only. Sand and dead insects, also if enter water, cannot be removed by boiling. If any type of toxic metal or chemical such as lead, mercury or pesticides have been in contact with the water, it would contaminate it. Thus boiling does not remove all impurities from water, which can affect our health adversely.

There are times, when we may need pure water instantly. Time and energy is taken to boil water, as it cannot always be readily available. In developing countries, a heat source may also not be available all the time and there may be shortage of fuel.

This is why boiling water for purification is not a very convenient option and there are other water purification technologies available in the market. But the irony is that most of the systems available target only selective contaminants and are completely ineffective against other impurities especially dissolved impurities.

Kent’s patented Mineral RO technology ensures that all kinds of impurities are removed from the water. It provides double purification of RO + UV + UF, which removes suspended impurities, bacteria & viruses and even dissolved impurities, thereby eliminating the limitations of a standalone technology. The TDS controller maintains essential natural minerals, providing 100% pure, safe & tasty drinking water, which is ideal for consumption.

We can therefore, safely say just as its tagline that Kent Aapko Deta Hai Sabse Shudh Paani!
