There has been an outrage towards water filters and purifiers in the Durban area in the media. Samples taken by the eThekwini Municipality from multiple homes using water filters or purifiers show that some of the water “was not even safe for recreational purposes” - not to mention drinking!
The whole controversy aroused from water filters becoming breeding grounds for harmful micro-organisms after a couple of months of use. With our lives busy as they are nowadays people sometimes forget to replace their water filter on time; it’s just one of those things people tend to forget like taking out the trash. A water filter should be a convenience and not a constant worry in the back of your mind. But when water filters are not maintained properly, they can pose a health risk by actually reducing the quality of your drinking water, instead of improving it.
The answer to this is having a filter with a UV light, like the AquaDoc UV, which disinfects the water after it passes through the filter, thus giving you the same excellent taste with adequate protection all in one. The AquaDoc UV lamp has an effective lifespan of 18 months which gives you more than enough time to enjoy life without having to constantly worry about the quality of your drinking water!
