- Netizen A: I belong to the kind of people who can't afford to drink water, and I have always boiled tap water to drink.
- Netizen B: As long as the tap water is boiled and there is no scale, I am OK.
- Netizen C: I am 28 this year, I grew up drinking tap water, and I feel no different from mineral water.
- Netizen D: The water quality in the south is good, and I also drink tap water at home, but the water in the north is very hard and tastes great.
So many people drink tap water!
Rumors about tap water:
The tap water has excessive heavy metals and cannot be drunk
Tap water contains residual chlorine, which can cause cancer
The TDS value in the water is too high and unsafe
Tap water has limescale and is unhealthy
Can you drink tap water? After checking a lot of information, I found that in fact, tap water can be drunk after boiling, but if there is limescale when boiling, it is best not to drink it.
If you don't drink tap water, is it better to drink water with a water purifier or bottled water?
Take my house as an example, my family used to install a whole house water purifier, but then the water purifier was broken, and I used the bottled water again, and drank it for half a year.
The water purifier was installed in the past because:
(1) Follow the trend
My family is a water purifier installed by the trend, and I want to improve the quality of domestic water, so I spent thousands of dollars to install the whole house water purification, and it is a big brand, with a special filter element, and the minimum consumption is 1,000 pieces per year.
At that time, the merchant blew the sky, saying that only the water filtered by the special filter cartridge could meet the standard of direct drinking, well, believe it.
Later, a master who has been making water purification for more than 10 years talked to me and said that its practical and universal filter cartridge is fine, and the kind of person who buys a special filter cartridge is drinking the same water and spending the money to drink oil, but in fact, it makes people cut leeks.
(2) Worry about the quality of tap water
Although the tap water meets the national health standards and can be drunk when it leaves the factory, the distance between the tap water and the water from the water plant to the home may cause secondary water pollution due to aging pipelines, ruptures, leaks, etc.
If it carries impurities such as bacteria, rust, sediment, engine oil, etc., everyone thinks that it is good to use it, but it is not safe to drink, so in order to improve drinking water, they choose to install a water purifier.
After using the water purifier for a few years, why don't you want to use it again?
(1) Taitaka Narumoto
In fact, the factory price of the most advanced water purifier will not exceed 2000 (high-end water purifier is a leek harvester), the brand premium plus the agents of provinces, cities and counties, I don't know how many times more expensive it is in the hands of consumers.
In addition, the cost of replacing the filter element every year is a few hundred yuan.
Netizen @小浣熊:
I bought a machine with two filter elements before, and I changed the filter element more than 300 times a year, and in the third year of this year, the two filter elements were replaced and it cost 880, and there seems to be no cheap filter element that can be replaced.
The post-maintenance cost is really high, and it feels like the merchant makes money by replacing the filter element.
(2) It is troublesome to replace the filter element
Some machines are particularly troublesome to change the filter element, I have changed it myself, it is really difficult, I have checked a lot of methods on the Internet, and I am so angry that I explode, and finally I still ask someone to replace it.
Netizen @Duoduo Mom is the same as me, I can't screw the filter cartridge for half a day, and I can't contact customer service to follow the operation, and finally give up and ask someone to change it.
Therefore, if you are disabled, lazy people should not try to change it yourself, it is a bit troublesome, it is better to let people come to the door to serve.
(3) There are many routines
This is also the reason why many people are disgusted with water purifiers, and my old lady has been fooled.
In the community publicity, first with a variety of small gifts to attract the attention of the elderly, propaganda will say that the tap water quality is not good, affect health, do experiments to make the water turbid, and then use the water purifier to immediately become clear.
I went back to my mother-in-law's house on the weekend and found that she had bought a water purifier, and she described it to me as amazing, spending 3980 yuan to buy it, the machine was very noisy, and when you wanted to use water, you could only take a small cup and run out of water, and found that there were many communities that were routines for the elderly in this way.
It is precisely because of these "hard injuries" in the water purifier that many people will switch back to bottled water.
What are the benefits of using bottled water?
(1) More convenient
Compared with the water purifier, it is more convenient to use bottled water, and bottled water only needs to make a phone call to deliver water to the door, buy bottled water, and send a water pump, and send a water dispenser.
There is no need to replace the filter element, and there is no need to worry about failure, which is much easier and more convenient than using a water purifier.
(2) Save money
When the water purifier was first purchased, it cost a few thousand, and then considering the cost of filter replacement and equipment maintenance, the overall expenditure was considerable.
There is no one-time investment in bottled water, and the price of each barrel of water is also more flexible, a barrel of 19L bottled water is more than 10 or 20 yuan, and some are only about ten yuan.
(3) The taste is more diverse
Bottled water is more flexible than water purifiers because you can choose different brands at will, and the water quality and taste of large brands are relatively stable, which can meet the preferences of different people.
Besides, most of the bottled water of big brands retains the natural taste of the water itself, and the water source is purer and has a better taste than the water from the water purifier, which is used to make tea, make milk powder, cook rice, make soup, etc., and the barreled level is correct.
Summary at the end of the article:
Whether it is tap water, water purifier, or bottled water, you can choose according to your personal needs and actual situation, my family is using a "water purifier" and replaced with "bottled water", and now it has been used for half a year, and I will tell you about these feelings, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable.
