The water we drink should contain balanced levels of essential minerals, such as calcium, magnesium and potassium. It has been shown that these reduce cardiovascular disease and have other health benefits.
Drinking water should not contain harmful micro-organisms, bacteria, cysts and viruses and it should be free from contamination of chemicals and heavy metals.
‘Infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria, viruses and parasites are the most common and widespread health risk associated with drinking water.’*

JUST BECAUSE WATER COMES OUT OF A TAP, It DOESN’T MEAN IT’S SAFE TO DRINK
Water infrastructures around the world vary in their effectiveness to provide clean, safe drinking water. Even in countries with advanced water sanitation and temperate climates, there have been microbiological outbreaks in drinking water supplies.
Advances in industrialisation and agriculture have been accompanied by the contamination of watercourses with chemicals, heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides pharmaceuticals, PFAS and now microplastics. Municipal water suppliers are battling to keep contamination out and are not always winning. The consequence of prolonged exposure to these contaminants are acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health problems.
