Clean drinking water is essential for our daily lives. A water refilling station is known as a place where people buy drinking water for their home, offices, restaurants, and other businesses. The role of these water stations is very important in today’s society. It has significantly reduced the cost of clean drinking water and is much cheaper as compared to bottled waters sold in small volumes typically in milliliters (mL) or in liters (L).
Still, there are unforeseen situations where you cannot buy from these water stations possibly due to their maintenance, other problems, or even due to your own busy schedule. There might also be some other concerns like the distance or delivery schedule. And if you are quite meticulous, you might have a preference with the containers being used, how they are cleaned, or if the water station itself is properly maintained or not.
If there are problems like those above, you will resort to buying the higher-priced bottled waters in groceries or convenience stores. To prevent this, there should be a Plan B or a backup plan in times of dire situations. Or if you would prefer, this could actually be your Plan A for having clean drinking water. You can have your own “water station” at home which can be placed on your sink with little required space. You will have no more hassle in carrying 5-gallon water containers to your drinking area and you will also lessen outside contact which can help prevent infections during this COVID-19 pandemic.
The fact is that most of the water supplied by your municipalities is already potable which means it is already considered okay for drinking use, and requires only a few filtration steps for safety. You might just need to install a 2-stage home filtration set for as low as PhP 2,900 (click here to see) where maintenance is easy and only every 2-3 months which you can do on your own. The cost of replacing the first filter or all filters including your additional water bill will be much smaller than from buying 5-gallon purified water from your local water station if you would calculate annually (see calculation here). You can think of it as a discount in your current drinking water cost.
You could check if your water supply is potable if you contact or go to your water supplier – either your municipal water, water concessionaire, or your subdivision developer. First of all, ask if your water is chlorinated (with chlorine added), and if you could get a copy of their water test certificates – Bacteriology test and Physicochemical test. If you can supply us these information or certificates, we could help you assess for free and double check if the water supplied to you is actually potable or not.
You can email the readable pictures or scanned copies of the aforementioned water test certificates to pii.innovations@gmail.com and we will get back to you with our assessment and filtration system recommendation.
We hope we could be of much help to you during these trying times.
May God bless you.
