Short Introduction
If you’re interested in the health of yourself and your family, in the state of your surrounding environment and the safety of your water supply, you should be aware of how – and why – your water is treated. Whilst the UK has some of the highest water purification standards in the world, it is not uncommon for bacterial and fungal outbreaks to occur. If you want to protect yourself (and the environment), it pays to be educated – know your rights as a water consumer, and be prepared to demand high quality. Better yet – install your own filtration and purification system at home, just in case the larger treatment infrastructure fails. When you pause to think about how often water is used in your home or office and how much we rely on it’s cleanliness, you’ll understand that it is vital to have a guaranteed pure supply one hundred percent of the time.

In times of drought, severe flooding, winter freezes and summer shortages, you can’t help but wonder just how well our water supply is being maintained and treated. Indeed, water treatment is a big industry both in the UK and the wider international community, ranging from small scale home operations to industrial plants to government supported facilities. Water treatment is one of the first considerations made when aid operations are carried out into disaster and poverty-stricken areas. It is also a huge concern for governments, as if the level of water quality is not maintained it can lead to outbreaks of disease and shortages of drinkable water. It is impossible to imagine life without a steady, reliable water supply.
