Is the water you drink
REALLY CLEAN?

Clean water is a source of health. Is the water you drink clean and healthy?

Which filtration system to choose?

Are they mounted directly on the tap or under the sink, or on a common house inlet? Mechanical filtration, reverse osmosis system or saturated water filter?

Choose a water filtration system depending on the quality of your tap or tap water and your individual needs.

Drink at least 2 litres of water every day. The quality of the water you drink depends on a number of factors, such as:
  • The selection, installation and maintenance of a well or borehole site, and of course the human activities taking place in the vicinity,
  • Water quality at a water point,
  • Condition of main and building water pipes.
The quality of water supplied by centralised urban water supplies is often adequate, but it also depends on the location of the water point. Depending on the quality of the groundwater, certain measures can be taken to ensure its quality, such as treatment of chemical or microbiological contamination, the addition of certain minerals.The normal water supply is from deep aquifers, which are not significantly affected by environmental pollution. The microbiological properties of this water are also generally good. It is safe in most cases, but may be unsightly due to excessive iron or manganese content, and may have a certain colour, taste or smell even after treatment. The impurities that remain in the water are harmless, but it can be unpleasant to drink pure water without treatment (boiling).Drinking tap water intended for human consumption, i.e. for drinking and cooking, is not harmful to human health and meets all the requirements of the Lithuanian Hygienic Standard HN 24:2023 “Safety and Quality Requirements for Drinking Water”. This document specifies the microbiological, indicator and toxic indicators that must be tested in drinking water and the maximum permissible concentrations. A total of 45 indicators are tested. The hygiene standard HN 24:2023 regulates the quality indicators for drinking water. This document states that “Drinking water is safe and healthy for consumption when it is free of micro-organisms, parasites and substances that in their numbers or concentrations could endanger human health and when it complies with the values of microbial, indicator and toxic (chemical) indicators laid down in the hygiene standard”.Another potential problem is water hardness. People who use tap water often complain that the tap water is hard and avoid drinking it. They complain that hard water can cause a kettle to become calcified in just a few days, washing machines, dishwashers, coffee machines and other appliances to break down more quickly, and white plaque to cover shower walls and sanitary fixtures. In fact, hard water is undesirable in the home. Limescale deposits are salts of calcium and magnesium. The higher the concentration of these mineral salts in the water, the harder the water is, and the more limescale deposits on surfaces.A water softener filter can be installed in front of all household appliances, and one tap, for example in the kitchen, can be left unfiltered to provide healthy water with calcium and magnesium.

Is "hard water" a problem?

We see white deposits in our teapots, or sometimes brown water comes out of the tap and we're scared that it's bad water. Should we do something?

Water filtration equipment can help to reduce the hardness of water.

People who use tap water often complain that the tap water is hard and avoid drinking it. They complain that hard water causes their kettle to become calcified in just a few days, washing machines, dishwashers, coffee machines and other appliances to break down more quickly, and leaves white deposits on shower walls and plumbing fixtures. In fact, hard water is undesirable in the home. Limescale deposits are salts of calcium and magnesium. The higher the concentration of these mineral salts in the water, the harder the water is, and the more limescale deposits on surfaces.

When installing water softening and clarification equipment in the home, remember that a water softening filter is installed before all household appliances, and at least one tap in the kitchen, for example, must be left unfiltered so that healthy water with calcium and magnesium can be drunk.

Groundwater is rich in minerals and water is a good solvent. As it flows through the rocks, the water becomes saturated with useful minerals. These minerals are soluble, so we can’t see them with the ‘naked’ eye, but when we boil the water, they fall out as sediment. That’s why you get those lime deposits on the sides of the teapot.If you ask a person whether calcium and magnesium are good for health , we would get a positive response. However, people are afraid of these good elements in water, even though they are happy to take calcium and magnesium supplements. Hard (lime) water is good quality drinking water and can be safely drunk straight from the tap and used for cooking. The harder the water, the more calcium and magnesium will be in your soup. There is no need to soften tap water used for drinking and eating, as the water supplier ensures the consistent quality of the drinking water supplied.
