It is well known that tap water is not inferior to bottled water in terms of quality and the beneficial effects of consuming some bottled waters on the health of adults and children are false myths.

Bottled water is no better than tap water and is also an inconvenient choice when considering its inconvenience, cost and the impact that plastic has on the environment.

The bottles are heavy to transport, can contain microplastics and other substances, especially if not stored properly, take up space in the home and refrigerator, and are a harm to our planet due to their disposal.

Tap water is safe to drink, but there is a possibility that harmful substances may enter the mains water and contaminate it.

This is why tap water is constantly monitored and chlorine is used in order to ensure disinfection. But while minimal amounts of chlorine are harmless to health, higher concentrations can create effects on the bacterial flora.

In addition to chlorine, other substances may also be present in tap water that accidentally enter the pipes, especially older ones.

Microfiltration purification systems allow chlorine and all these substances to be removed, making tap water taste as good as bottled water.

Microfiltration is a system for purifying tap water using a filter consisting of sintered natural fibres (carbon block) protected by a special membrane with silver ions.

Thanks to their physical-chemical properties, the sintered fibres retain chlorine and all substances in the tap water while the silver ions have an antibacterial action, preventing the formation of micro-organisms.

The water passes through the filter and is deprived of chlorine and all substances that can affect its taste and quality such as microplastics, pesticides, heavy metals and hydrocarbons to ensure good, healthy water.

Unlike other systems, such as osmosis, with microfiltration, only the contaminants in the water are removed, while the mineral salts and nutrients remain unaltered.

Microfiltered water, therefore, does not lose its beneficial properties, but remains a source of nutrients that are fundamental to our health.

All Unitekno water dispensers have an exclusive active carbon and silver ion filter inside to improve tap water.

The filter, which lasts 12 months, is tested and certified by prestigious external laboratories to remove the main contaminants in tap water.
When the filter expires, it can be replaced with a very simple and quick procedure that does not require the intervention of a technician.

In this way, it is possible to continue to have good water always available, still, cold and sparkling according to one’s taste.

So here are the benefits of microfiltered water: it is convenient and always available, it is good and healthy, and it has no impact on the environment.

As you can see, bottled water is really inconvenient! It is neither convenient nor cheap, it harms the planet and can contain pollutants such as microplastics.

Tap water is certainly more convenient and cheaper, but it is only at room temperature and may contain chlorine and other substances.

The best choice is to microfiltered water: it is convenient, economical and environmentally friendly, has no chlorine or other substances and satisfies all tastes because it is still, cold and sparkling.
