Drink clean water to keep these diseases at bay





Consuming clean drinking water is as important as having the right amount of it. Every year, millions die due to contaminated and polluted water. Waterborne diseases can be fatal if preventive measures are not undertaken at the right time. Assuring that your drinking water is safe and clean to consume is the first step towards prevention. You can do this by installing a water purifier at your home that provides clean drinking water in every glass.


Using a water purifier can safeguard the health of your family and protect them from the following diseases.


Cholera - This is the most common waterborne disease caused by drinking contaminated water. This is a bacterial disease that causes severe diarrhoea and can be life threatening especially for infants and young children as the fluid loss can impair their immunity in the long run. As per WHO, there are 1.3 to 4 million cases of cholera recorded worldwide every year and even result into 21,000 to 143,000 deaths annually. A water purifier goes a long way in protecting against this disease as it allows multiple stages of filtration to remove impurities and chemical contaminants present in water. Waterpacket’s 7 stage purification removes 99.99% viruses and bacteria in water and provides 100% safe drinking water to ensure you and your family always stay healthy.


Typhoid Fever - Caused by a bacterial infection called Salmonella Typhi, Typhoid fever spreads through consumption of contaminated water or through food washed in contaminated water. The acute illness is characterised by prolonged fever, headache, nausea, loss of appetite, and constipation or sometimes diarrhoea (WHO). A water purifier through its RO and UV purification removes these bacteria and ensures water is potable and healthy.


Lead Poisoning - Lead is a toxic metal that can be harmful to human health even at low exposure levels. Tap water carried through lead pipes or pipes joined with lead solder may contain lead toxins and can affect multiple organs in our body. Young children and infants are particularly at risk. As per EPA, even low levels of exposure of lead in children have been found to damage their central and peripheral nervous system and can cause learning disabilities, shorter stature, impaired hearing, and impaired formation and function of blood cells. A RO water purifier is known to be the most effective way of filtering out lead and provides 100% purified drinking water free of contaminants.
