For millions of years life on earth has depended on water. In 1969 Neil Armstrong described earth as "A shining blue pearl spinning in space". The blue is the 70% water present on the surface, approximately 97% is salt water with the remaining 3% fresh water. Less than 1% is available for life on land, the rest forms part of ice at the poles.
The water we use today was used by the dinosaurs millions of years ago, the earth recycles its water (Water cycle). The amount of water on earth is constant and can not be increased or decreased.
Water quality is defined as water which is safe, drinkable and appealing to all life on earth. In South Africa the scarce fresh water is decreasing in quality because of the increase in population and destruction of river catchments caused by urbanisation, deforestation, damming of rivers, destruction of wetlands, industry, mining, agriculture, energy use and accidental water pollution. As the population increases there is an increase in pollution and catchment destruction.
Due to the population increase water piping infrastructure is put under enormous strain. Water passes through thousands of kilometres of piping before reaching your tap. I am concerned about containments that are leaked into the piping system(cracks in pipes).Our machine assures any possible containments will be removed from your drinking water. PLEASE STOP DRINKING WATER FROM SINGLE SERVE PLASTIC BOTTLES, IT IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU OR THE ENVIRONMENT! Just Google this for more facts.
