10 Important Reasons to Purify Your Water
1. You & Your Family's Health
Our bodies are made up of 80% water, hence water is one of the main things we need to function in a healthy manner. Doctors recommend that we drink 8 glasses of water per day or 1 glass per 10 kg ofbody weight.
2. The Greener Option
65% of plastic bottles purchased end up in land fill every year! Not to mention the carbon emissions used to transport the bottles across Australia. By drinking purified water from your water purification system you are helping the environment.
3. Reduce the risk of Alzheimer's
Aluminum in drinking water has been directly linked to Alzheimer's Disease. Research has shown that once ingested, aluminium is difficult to excrete and therefore can be stored in the brain.
4. Save Money
It is a known fact that most bottled water is far more expensive than petrol. Recent studies have shown that a large percentage of bottled water is in some cases no better than tap water. Why waste time and money lugging bottles of water back and forth from the grocery stores? Purified water saves money and is a healthy alternative.
5. Reduce the risk of Cancer, Birth Defects & Heart Attack
Chlorine is added to our drinking water to combat bacteria, however it has been directly linked to many forms of cancer as well as birth defects, heart problems and asthma.
6. Old Pipes & Plumbing
In a lot of areas in Australia, once the tap water leaves the treatment plant it can travel through many kilometers of piping that are old, slimy and corroded. It is hard to believe we drink the water that comes straight out of pipes like these.
7. Fresher, healthier tea, coffee and food
Unlike bottled water, by purifying your water you will have access to an ongoing supply of fresh, contaminant free water that can be used for all your drinking water, but also for: cooking, washing vegetables, making tea and coffee, feeding your pets, watering your plants. The options are endless. You are no longer limited to the amount of purified water you use.
8. Protect your family from bacteria
When you purify your tap water with the CC1E-HT or the CC1E you can have peace of mind knowing that it has been tested and is proven to effectively remove E. coli bacteria, Giardia and Cryptosporidium Cysts. These nasty parasites can cause diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, vomiting fever and more. For details on previous outbreaks please see news articles. The CC1E-HT or CC1E also both effectively remove a very large percentage of the heavy metals and chemicals such as Copper, Lead, Mercury, Zinc or Aluminium that may be found in our drinking water.
9. Save Time
In this day and age every spare minute is precious, save time boiling water, using slow filtration jugs and lugging bottles back and forth from the shops and spend more time enjoying a healthier life.
10. Human Error
Unfortunately as humans, we all make mistakes. We can put all the faith we have in the treatment plant workers, but at the end of the day mistakes happen and at times chemical overdoses have been a regular occurrence in the papers. Why put your family's health in a stranger's hands?

How the RO Systems Working?
Drinking water purification process
Around the world, household drinking water purification systems, including a reverse osmosis step, are commonly used for improving water for drinking and cooking.
Such systems typically include a number of steps:
• a sediment filter to trap particles, including rust and calcium carbonate
• optionally, a second sediment filter with smaller pores
• an activated carbon filter to trap organic chemicals and chlorine, which will attack and degrade thin film composite membrane reverse osmosis membranes
• a reverse osmosis filter, which is a thin film composite membrane
• optionally, a second carbon filter to capture those chemicals not removed by the reverse osmosis membrane
• optionally an ultraviolet lamp for sterilizing any microbes that may escape filtering by the reverse osmosis membrane
• latest developments in the sphere include nano materials and membranes
In some systems, the carbon prefilter is omitted, and cellulose triacetate membrane is used. The cellulose triacetate membrane is prone to rotting unless protected by chlorinated water, while the thin film composite membrane is prone to breaking down under the influence of chlorine. In cellulose triacetate membrane systems, a carbon postfilter is needed to remove chlorine from the final product, water.

Water Diseases
Water Diseases
More than 2 million people die each year from diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and dysentery that are spread by contaminated water or by a lack of water for hygiene. These illnesses have largely been eradicated in developed nations, although outbreaks can still occur.
Water Safety in Distribution Systems
The quality of drinking-water is a powerful environmental determinant of health. Assurance of drinking-water safety is a foundation for the prevention and control of waterborne diseases.
