Ten Cool Things About – Water

Water is the source of life and without it the life could not be possible.  Here are some interesting facts about the fluid that means life.

    1. A man can withstand without water for five to seven days. For comparison, without meals we can live about six weeks.
    2. Australian coals can live without water – they intake liquid by eating leaves of eucalyptus.
    3. Although about 70 percent of the Earth’s territory is covered with water, only one percent of this water can be consumed!
    4. Researches have shown that hot water will cool down faster than cold water! But there is no precise answer to the question why it is so. It is possible that it’s due to the re-cooling, evaporation, ice formation, convection or it is due to the effect of diluted gases in warm and cold water.
    5. When freezing, water will experience incredible transformations. At a temperature of less than 120 degrees it becomes stretchy, and at a temperature of minus 135 it converts into so-called. glass water. ‘Glassy’ water is a solid substance in which there is no crystal structure as in glass.
    6. All animals and plants are consisted of water: fishes 75%, % jellyfish 99, potatoes 76%, tomatoes 90%, cucumber 95%, the body of an infant it’s consisted of about 75% , while about 60% of an adult body is consisted of water.
    7. Water is great for a slim line: If you avoid sweetened drinks and drink water instead, you will lose three pounds a year without any diet!
    8. Even 85 percent of all diseases in the world are transmitted by water.
    9. If you do not drink enough water, your body will take it from your skin that will getting older fast – so drink water regularly! It is recommended to drink at least eight glasses of water a day.
    10. Freshwater supplies on our planet are not evenly distributed – Asia has the highest, and Australia’s the less.

What Kind of Harm is Hidden in Laundry Detergents?

Take care of the skin is very important, but it is not limited only to products that we use washing or nursing. Laundry detergents whose ingredients can be hazardous to health have great influence on it.

While preparing dirty laundry for the washing machine, the only thing we think is that it needs to be washed as much as possible. That is why we often do not spare the detergents we use. There are several types of powder, softeners, bleaches and similar products. However, we do not think about how washed clothes by all these products can affect our skin.

‘Some detergents contain up to more than 15 different ingredients that can adversely affect the skin. These are, above all, substances used to remove dirt. Then, these are the ingredients used to soften water and prevent limestone formation. Then, there are whitening and stain removal enzymes, primarily used for protein stains. Additionally, there are some additional ingredients in detergents that improve the penetration of these elements, as well as penetration to water into deeper parts of the fabric to make the detergent’s effect better, “said spec. dermatologist venerology’s Maja Ceković.

All of these ingredients can cause irritation and allergic skin reactions. Children’s skin is especially sensitive, so you should take extra precaution when washing baby clothes.

“Given that the child’s skin is thinner, more sensitive and defensive strength of the child’s skin is weaker, they are more susceptible to irritation and allergic skin reactions. Softeners are the worst thing of all these preparations and can most often cause allergic reactions, “warns spec. dermatologist venerology’s Maja Cekovic.

ECOMODO is a device thanks to which you can wash your laundry with or without detergent even in cold water. More about the device you can find on THIS link.

Softeners besides scents and colors, also contain preservatives that can often cause allergic reactions. One of them is formaldehyde that has been proven to be carcinogenic. Softener in the dryer releases a resin that deposits on the surface of the fabric, which can be very toxic. Changing the detergent is also not desirable.

“If one kind of detergent can have 15 or more chemicals, and another detergent has some other chemicals, as we come in contact with as much chemicals as possible, it is more likely that allergic reactions will occur. Therefore, it is not too good to change the detergents. If we find a detergent with the effect we are satisfied with and which does not cause any skin reactions, whether it is irritation or allergies, it is better not to change them, because any such change can cause a reaction on the skin, “Dr. Cekovic emphasized.

Regardless of these worrying information, few of people will stop using detergents. But there is something you can do for yourself and your skin.

It is important to say that it is much better to use detergents in the form of a powder rather than a liquid because the liquids contain more of these chemicals, they are more concentrated and so more aggressive to our skin.

It is also necessary to check the declaration of the product.

It is important to check which ingredients contain detergent and avoid those harmfull to health.

Bleaches such as sodium perborate are unsafe. Regarding odor, you should buy detergents that have as little as possible odor. Because scents can cause allergies to the skin and the respiratory system. Enzymes derived from colonies of various bacteria that break down stains or most commonly protein stains can also stimulate the appearance of eczema on the skin.

Then, these are sulfatants, detergent additives, that all these other ingredients could penetrate deeper into the fabric and are better cleaned and some of them contain 1.4 oxanes which are carcinogenic.

And finally, one more tip – it is much better to dry clothes in fresh air than in indoors. So, all those who have the opportunity, let their clothes provide drying under the clouds. The skin, which these clothes will cover later, will surely be grateful to you.

Pre-Filter Big Blue

Big Blue is a mechanical filter placed on the main water pipe in the building, or as a prefilter for RO devices, softeners and UV lamps. It prevents mechanical impurities from entering into the object / system, depending on the throughput bandwidth. The housing is specially designed for large capacity – a whole house or industrial facility. Delivered in 10 “and 20” dimensions, with a resolution of 1 to 50 microns.

Depending on the Big Blue (BB) filter, it removes chlorine and other chemical elements, smells and particles, making the water cleaner and safer for use. It also protects devices, appliances and installations.

It is installed on the main water intake facilities and has a capacity for filtering 10,000 to 100,000 gallons of water.

Due to the large filter surface of the cartridges, as per the dimensions of the case itself, due to its relatively large current there is a possibility of connecting 2 or more casing in a series so as to form a unique system designed to solve complex problems.

For example, in the first case one should set a 20 micron filter sediment, a carbon filter or a lime scale filter as the second stage of filtration, then a sediment cartridge of 5 microns as the third stage of filtration.

Big Blue filters can be used within the filtering plant as the first or second phase of water treatment. Most commonly used: a self-contained mechanical filter for the entire house, as a pre-filter for softening water or part of a reverse osmosis pre-treatment. Characteristics:

UV Lamp – the Best Results for Disinfection of Water in Households and Industry

Bacteria, viruses and similar microorganisms are found everywhere in nature, including in water. Water on the road to the consumer is treated in various ways to be useful for drinking and washing, but this does not mean that it no longer has microorganisms. The most effective way of destroying such organisms and preventing possible illnesses is water disinfection with UV (ultraviolet) light.

Whether it is used as a multiple step in the water treatment program or separately, UV light begins to play a very important role in the world of water technology. As many of you already know, its use has been widespread in the world for many years.

What Is Ultraviolet Radiation (UV)?

Ultraviolet radiation (UV) is an electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than the wavelength of visible light but longer than X-ray. It is called “ultraviolet” because its purple color is the first neighbor. That is, if the UV radiation was visible to us – on the spectrum it would be a new color immediately to the purple. In nature, the strongest source of UV radiation – the Sun.

UV rays are part of the natural sunlight but do not belong to the part of the visible electromagnetic spectrum. Ultraviolet light has a wavelength of 200 to 400nm and a very high energy level. The most effective wavelength for disinfection is 254nm and it makes the bulk of the UV lamp shake.

Ultraviolet radiation is usually divided into:

UVA (400-315 nm), long, UVB (315-280 nm), medium, UVC (280-200 nm), short-waved (biocidal) and VUV (200-100 nm), vacuum chamber.

Already in the 19th century, it was established that sunlight is antibacterial, but only later studies have shown that the antibacterial effect of sunlight does not come from visible but invisible light.

By further development of the technology, it was found that the best biocidal results are achieved by UVC (shortwave) radiation at a wavelength of 254 nm.\

Where do UV disinfection systems apply?

UV disinfection systems for water disinfection are designed to disinfect water in public and private waterways, industry, hospitals, hotels, drink preparation and water treatment in swimming pools.

Apply to all facilities where disinfection and water protection is required from viruses and bacteria. UV rays permanently and efficiently destroy such microorganisms, without harmful chemical compounds. UV systems are easy to install in water supply installations, with less adjustment. Water remains unchanged in taste, color and smell.

Approximately 254 nm wavelength radiation spills the cell wall and is absorbed in the cell, i.e. molecules of DNA and RNA, and devours the structure of the molecule, thus preventing further cell replication.

The maximum UVC damping effect is reached at 253.7 nm, and accordingly maximum destruction of DNA. So the more UVC radiation of DNA absorbs, the more damage – the degree of disinfection is growing.

Advantages of UV Disinfection:

UV rays effectively and permanently destroy dangerous microorganisms (bacteria, viruses …),

No harmful chemical compounds and byproducts,

UV systems are easy to install in water supply installations, with less adjustments,

The UV lamp is easily replaced,

UV rays do not affect the taste and smell of water.

Today, in Europe, disinfection with UV radiation is present in over three thousand plants for processing and preparation of drinking water. New technologies for UV radiation, for drinking water, are being developed on a daily basis. The goal of technological progress is to improve system efficiency and reduce investment and operating costs.

Water Softener: The Benefits of Softened Water are Concrete and Immediately Visible

The Cabinet is a kind of softener for home softening needs, as well as for the needs of smaller commercial or industrial systems that require water to be softened. The device is compact because the softener itself is placed in a container that simultaneously serves as a tableting salt reservoir for regeneration, which significantly reduces the space it occupies.

Work and regeneration of the softener are fully automated under the control of the automatic control valve. Regeneration can be programmed in time or volume after softening of certain amount of water. The choice of regeneration mode is done after knowing the circumstances in which the softener will work and the input of the hard water.

Maintenance is minimized and it is related to control the amount of tableted salt with occasional salt addition.

Characteristics:

    • electronic processor
    • fully automated regeneration process
    • 8 regeneration phases
    • salt container inside the casing
    • time and volume version
    • an effective ionic resin
    • Hardness of softened water <0.2dH

Installation Requirements: Minimum 2 bar pressure, max pressure 6.00 bars (If the pressure is higher, install a reduction valve);

Connector: ¾ “INPUT / OUTPUT;

Water softener or Ionic exchanger is a device that allows water softening in the Ionian process. The softener can be a casing filled with resin. Water simply flows through the resin and softens it.

Softened water is a product that is produced by so-called Ionian change.

ADVANTAGES OF MIXED WATERS ARE CONCRETE AND IMMEDIATELY VISIBLE:

    • In the catering industry the glasses need not be wiped after drying because there is no limescale.
    • In the bakeries there is no limescale on the tubes (tubes around the heaters with small holes spraying the heater and creating a steam that gives the required humidity to the dough), otherwise the production must be stopped from time to time and the tubes should be cleaned with chemical means.
    • In boiler rooms there is no accumulation of lime scale on heaters and heat exchangers, which necessarily leads to an increase in energy consumption, as the heater is coated with a limescale.
    • In hotels that have their own laundry much less detergent is used for a better washing effect.
    • Less detergent is used in the car wash, and the vehicles do not have to be wiped with a jelly cloth because stains do not remain.
    • In households and all facilities with boilers, dishwashers, laundry machines the lifespan of all appliances that are in contact with water is extended. One spend less time and products for cleaning.
    • Hospitals reduce energy costs and avoid problems with the maintenance of appliances and medical equipment. This list can be extended with many other dedicated industries (laboratories, glass manufacturing, beer and juice production, CD production, plastics, wellness centers …). There is almost no area where the advantages of softened water are not necessary.

When water passes through the resin in the softener it starts the process of Ionic change whereby ionic calcium changes with sodium ions, which does not damage the installations and the human body. The mass automatically regenerates after saturation every couple of days, and then the accumulated limescale passes into the sewer or other predetermined drainage.

Regular maintenance is, in most cases, not necessary as the devices are automated, it is only a mandatory addition of tableted salt. Salt consumption depends on water consumption and inlet water hardness, but this cost is relative to the benefits it brings. It is not a regular salt but a tableted salt with a purity of 99.99%. It is packed in bags of 25 kg. In case of a request or need for regular or periodic service, the Adepto Company Service is available for a short period of time throughout BiH. Adepto Company is also the importer of the highest quality salt with hardness and quality certificates.

Tableted salt

For the regeneration of resin, especially those for neutral exchange, the tableted salt i.e. very pure industrially processed sodium chloride is used in the form of tablet.

Water softeners work on the principle of ion exchange-process where hard water flows through the filling of ionic mass (resin) to which the exchange of calcium and magnesium ions (which cause water hardness) from raw water with sodium ions from the salt solution with which the softener is saturated. After a certain flow of water, the resins lose their softening capacity. For the recovery of the spent ion mass, a solution of tableted salt (NaCl) is used, and which is automatically withdrawn from the preparation tank.

Adepto Company offers tableted salt of high quality in a 25 kg package.

Household Device RO5 – the Perfect Solution for Drinking Water

Basis RO 5 is a filter system with RO (REVERSE OSMOSIS). It is installed on the inlet of cold water inside the kitchen element and treats the water through 5 stages of filtration. It represents an unstoppable barrier to all possible pollutants that can be found in water and primarily for rock, chlorine, heavy metals, organic compounds, clouds, bacteria and viruses. By proper application, the membrane will remove all the microorganisms from tap water. Working pressure is min. 2.45 bars, and is designed for the city water supply.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FILTER WORK

The principle of work is based on reversible or reverse osmosis, which is considered to be one of the greatest technological achievements of the 20th century. The device has 5 stages of filtration, and regardless of the inlet water quality, the user has clean and healthy water at all times.

1st Stage – Stops particles bigger than 5 microns;

2nd  Stage – Stops chlorine and all chlorine compounds;

3rd  Stage – Stops particles bigger than 1 micron;

4th  Stage – Reverse Osmosis;

5th  Stage – “In line” final filter – which improves the taste of waterOsmosis is a natural process that takes place in each cell allowed by a semi-permeable membrane. Only clean water is able to pass through the semi-permeable membrane. From the less concentrated solution it moves to a higher concentration solution until balance is established. In reversible or reverse osmosis, the water passage through the semi-permeable membrane takes place in the opposite direction, i.e., from a larger concentration solution to a lower concentration solution. In order for this process to be possible, high pressure action is required in order to obtain pure water. Due to this fact, you can get pure, potable water from almost any kind of water. The size of pores on the membrane is 0.0001 micron thanks to which no contaminants can pass through them since they are considerably bigger than the pore membranes. The purification process is therefore completely natural, and it’s dictated only by the large particle and its ability to pass through the membrane, or by directing too large particles into the drainage sewer. No chemical agents are added to the water when being filtrated.

What is reverse osmosis and what is it used for?

Reverse osmosis, also known as hyperfiltration, is the most perfect filtration process of all. This process allows the removal of the smallest particles from the water. Reverse osmosis is used for purifying water and removing inorganic minerals, salts and other impurities in order to improve appearance, taste and other water features. So, we get the highest quality water that meets the most demanding snandards that exist.

What are the beginnings of the reverse osmosis?

In 1962, the United States Government established the first reverse osmosis plant that produces 1,000 gallons of pure water per day. Today, there are over 3,000 large reverse osmosis plants, each of which produces more than a million gallons of potable water each day. In 1991, the United States Army bought 8,000 large water purifying membranes for its mobile troops in the Desert Storm. In 1993, the US Government purchased another 6,300 large membranes for the purification of water in the Midwestern Territory in the United States.

Question: What is a Reverse Osmosis System for Households?

The RO system is a household water system that uses the principle of reverse osmosis to remove 95-99% of mineral and chemical contaminants from tap water. These products provide you with quality water, with practical application installed on the tap on your sink.

What’s the Difference between Reverse Osmosis from an ordinary water filter?

In order to separate particles of impurities and sediments from the water, ordinary water filters use nets. Reverse osmosis uses a semi-permeable membrane that removes not only particles but a very high percentage of dissolved contaminants from tap water, a molecule per molecule.

What is a membrane and how does it work?

The membrane is consisted of several thin layers or thin strips that are pressed together and coiled in a spiral around the configuration of a plastic tube (also known as a composite thin coating or TFC membrane). The membrane material is semi-permeable, and it allows the water molecules to pass through it while acting as a barrier to the solute (eg. Mineral Chemical Smudges). When water passes through the membrane, molecules penetrate into the membrane, performing its function around the coil by collecting water particles in the center of the tube. The remaining contaminants are concentrated and rinced from the surface of the membrane into the drain.

Can you clarify Osmosis?

Suppose the membrane is semi-permeable and permits the passage of water through it while it does not permit passage to dissolved salts. Place the membrane between the two compartments in the container. Then place the salt solution in one half of the container and clean the water in the second half. Now the fundamental scientific principle comes to the fore. Thus, two liquids with different concentrations will try to reach equilibrium in the same system (i.e. the same concentration of contaminants) on both sides of the membrane. The only way for this is that clean water pass through the membrane to the side where salt water is found in an attempt to balance. This process is called osmosis.

What is the Real RO Process of the Household System?

The tap water first passes through a 5 micron filter (1) to remove impurities, rust and other sediments. The water then passes through the carbon block FILTER [2] which removes up to 98% of chlorine and organic chemicals. The next stage of the process is FILTER [3], a 1 micron sediment filter, or carbon block filter for filtration of multiple chemical compounds and solutions. [4] Reverse Osmosis Membrane (TFC), which separates 95-99% of dissolved solids from the water molecule. Contaminants are then removed through the drain. The next phase of the RO SYSTEM process is a small carbon filter [5] that removes remaining traces of chemicals, flavors and odors. The water produced in the reverse osmosis process is deposited in a container of 3.2 gallons [6]. Within the container there is a rubber diaphragm in the shapee of a baloon with an air pressure of 0.55 to 0.69 bar. As the tank fills up, the air pressure increases and pushes the water out when the tap is open. The last element of the system series is a chromed tap [7]. It is installed on a kitchen counter or sink. This is a double action valve that serves to break down the flow (fill the glass, hold the handle down) or continuous flow of water (fill up the coffee pot, raise the handle up).

Will Reverse Osmosis Remove Sodium from Water?

YES! Reverse osmosis was originally designed to process seawater in the US Navy. It is ideal for all those who are on a low-sodium diet.

Does Reverse Osmosis Remove Cryptosporidium Bacteria?

YES! Reverse osmosis membrane has significantly smaller pores than the size of the bacteria and viruses, the parasites or the cryptosporodium parasites. By proper application, the membrane will remove all microorganisms from tap water and produce sterile clean water.

What Is the Taste of Drinking Water Obtained by This Process?

The taste of water depends on the number of contaminants from the tap. If 95% of dissolved minerals and chemicals are removed, Reverse Osmosis water may have the taste of distilled water (no minerals), bottled water (low mineral percentage) or natural spring water (moderate mineral content).

How Will the Water from This Device Affect Mixed Drinks?

Since Reverse Osmosis removes invisible smudges that break the aroma, this allows the natural taste of your drink to come to fruition. You will be able to use less coffee and at the same time have a full flavor. Concentrated drinks such as orange juice will have a spicy, peculiar taste. You will probably also consume more water, as many people drink with soda, instant juices, concentrated juices, beer, and as an alternative to bad tap water. It also eliminates most of the calcium produced on the coffee machine’s jug so that it does not need to be cleaned frequently. You will no longer find a white skim on the inside of the pot to use for boiling water.

Aren’t the Minerals That Are Removed from Water Important to People?

Most of the minerals we need are taken from the food we eat. Only a very small percentage comes from the water we drink.

Where Is the System for Drinking Water Installed?

The system is usually installed below the sink.

Can the Adepto Company System Connect to An Additional Tap?

A T-valve 1/4 inch and pipes are required to allow the water to bring the refrigerator or additional tap water not more than 3 meters.

What Factors Influence the Quantity and Quality of Water Produced?

There are four main variables that should be considered:

1. PRESSURE. The higher the water pressure, the better the quality and the amount of produced water are. The 4.14 bar water pressure is ideal. Where there is not enough current pressure this device may contain a pump that can provide good water pressure.

2. TEMPERATURE. 24.5 * C is the ideal water temperature for Reverse Osmosis. Water with a 5 * C temperature will halve the production of RO water by half compared to the water temperature of 24.5 *C. The maximum recommended water temperature is 29.5 ° C.

3. TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS (TDS). The higher the amount of mineral dissolved in water, the smaller the amount of produced water is. High levels of TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS can be overcome with increased water pressure.

4. The membranes. Different membranes have different characteristics. Some products are better than others, some have better properties when removing the dirt, some are more resistant to chemical action resulting in longer lifespan. Adepto Company systems contain a TW30-1812-80 Thin Film Composite (TFC-thin composite opaque) membrane that has the best of these characteristics and is considered to be one of the best membranes in the world.

How Much Water Does the Adepto Company System Produce?

In ideal conditions, it is estimated that the TW30-1812-80 TFC membrane produces 300 liters of water per day (80 gpd at 5.5 ~ 6.8 bar). In average conditions, consumers can expect 100-150 liters of produced water per day. But that is still plenty of water for the average household that is used for drinking and cooking.

Can the Amount Of Produced Water Increase?

There are several ways:

1. During the night, fill the bowl with water from the tank. The quicker you empty the tank, the faster is production of water. By morning the tank will be filled with fresh water.

2. Another membrane can be added. An additional membrane is needed to double the capacity of the Adepto Company system.

What is the Guarantee for the Adepto Company System?

The Adepto Company system (without filters) has a one-year warranty on material and fabrication. All defective parts will be replaced free of charge within the first year. The membrane has an estimated one-year warranty.

What Is the Schedule for Maintaining the Adepto Company System?

Three pre-filter cartridges should be changed every 6 months. The first is a 5-micron sediment cartridge. The second is a carbon cartridge. The third filter is a 1-micron sediment filter. (some systems contain a carbon filter too). If you do not change the cartridge every 6 months, it is possible that chlorine will destroy the membrane.

When Should the Membrane Be Changed?

One of the indicators is a gradual reduction in water production caused by the degradation of minerals and salts on the surface of the membrane. The second is the gradual deterioration of the quality of water that is produced. You may notice a different taste or white film in a pot or while boiling water. This could mean that the reverse osmosis membrane requires replacement.

What Contaminants Does the Reverse Osmosis Remove?

The Adepto Company system contains a high-quality carbon filter that will remove more than 98% of organic chemicals from water. This includes THMs (chloroform), DBCP, lindane, TCEs (trichlorethylene), PCEs (tetrachloroethylene), carbon tetrachloride chlorine, and apart from these organic chemicals, below is a partial list of other pollutants that removes Re 1812-80 TFC membrane.

Element % Removed Element % Removed
Barium 97% Potassium 92%
Bicarbonate 94% Radium 97%
Cadmium 97% Selenium 97%
Calcium 97% Silicate 96%
Chromate 92% Silver 85%
Copper 97% Sodium 92%
Detergents 97% Strontium 97%
Fluoride 90% Sulfate 97%
Lead 97% PCBs 97%
Magnesium 97% Insecticides 97%
Nickel 97% Herbicides 97%
Total Dissol Solids 95%

NOTE: Besides reverse osmosis treatment in addition to the standard elements that an appliance must possess, we can incorporate specially calibrated mineralizers whose aim is to provide the medically ideal balance of minerals necessary for the normal functioning of the organism.

Ecomodo is simply practical. It allows you to wash clothes, whether it is  colored or sensitive laundry, at low temperatures, always with great results and cost savings. Reducing the consumption of hot water for washing results in cost savings with less damage to your fabric. Another advantage of using this device is to reduce the damage to the washing machine: the lower the washing temperature, the damage to the drum, the bearings and the joints is reduced and prolongs lifetime of your washing machine.

3 STAGES OF DISINFECTION

Ag +

The power of this noble metal is known for its fight against microbes, fungi and odors. Namely, thanks to the sensor located in the Ecomodo device which releases ions of silver that interacts with the flow of water by producing hydroxyl radicals that further enhance the sterilization effect of silver ions, which effectively remove E. coli (E. coli), gold staphylococci (Staphylococcus aureus) and other harmful bacteria. Also, thanks to the strength of sterilization, it prevents the stubborn and unpleasant smell of clothing which is in the laundry basket.

UV

Ultraviolet rays represent one of the best and most effective ways to disinfect water. Thanks to the laws of physics ultraviolet rays have the power to destroy the bacteria, and only act when necessary, without creating harmful by-products. The UV-C beam emitted by special lamps with mercury vapor is deadly for any microorganism (bacteria, viruses, mold, algae, etc.); For this reason, the water that passes through the UV-C sterilizer is microbiologically stable, with no danger associated with over-exposure.

O3

Active Oxygen is a natural molecule that in combination with water forms a strong ecological disinfectant in the liquid state. It leaves no residue or toxins, no odor or taste. It is extremely effective in removing viruses, bacteria, fungi, molds and spores.

EFFICIENCY AND PERFORMANCE

Ecology and high performance that are contained in a single device for effective washing is incomparable to the washing process obtained through other conventional treatments. The innovation consists in washing with active oxygen, colorless and unstable gas that oxidizes smells and microorganisms such as viruses, molds and bacteria that bind to components for decomposition, with optimal ecological and natural results.

The appliance does not require servicing or maintenance.

Farmacqua Plus: Premium Class Device in the World Market

Farmacqua Plus is a premium class device for water treatment and one of the best in the world market. It includes a combination of reverse osmosis and ozone generator which provides high quality alkaline water up to 9.8 pH value.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE FUNCTION

Reverse osmosis technology can remove 99.99% of the impurities that are found in water and can provide perfectly clean water. Only this combination of technology can provide absolutely pure water of the highest quality. There are various types of treatments that can be multiply incorporated in order to provide greater efficacy and results, but the only important factor are physic-chemical and microbiological characteristics that make up the difference in water quality so that it can be considered as purified water. By the Reverse osmosis treatment it is possible to remove up to 99.9% of organic substances (including microorganisms) and more than 90% of inorganic substances, and if ozone is added as a water disinfectant it has a biocidal effect.OSMOSIS

Osmosis is a natural process that controls the exchange of liquids. When two solvents with different salt concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable membrane that permits only the passage of solvents and solutes, but not the undissolved substances, the diluted solution passes through the membrane and dilutes the one which is more concentrated. The reverse osmosis process can be applied with more pressure to the osmotic pressure from the water supply network, thus allowing passage for the clean water (H2O) without dissolved substances through the semi-permeable membranes, resulting in pure water without almost any solution.

OZON TREATMENT

Ozone is an antimicrobial agent, it has high reactivity, penetration and affects the spontaneous decomposition of non-toxic products used as a disinfectant of microbial substances with relatively low concentrations and short contact time enough to inactivate bacteria, molds, fungi, parasites, and viruses. The antimicrobial effect of ozone is counteracted by gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Ozone oxidizes bacterial cell walls and cytoplasmic membranes in the most efficient way, better than chlorine and its derivatives. In this way, a high alkaline water is obtained which has a pH value of up to 9.8.

What Happens in Your Body When You Do Not Drink Enough Water?

An average person needs between two and three liters of water per day which allows proper digestion, transport of nutrients and oxygen to all cells of the body, lubricating and maintaining elasticity of organs and tissues, scavenge of waste substances outside the body and regulating body temperature.

Physical needs for water depend on several factors: temperature, degree of activity, functional losses, metabolic needs and age. By increasing the outside temperature, the body loses water to maintain body temperature, and then an increased water intake is required.

How much water should I drink daily?

Physical work or strong physical activity increases the body’s water needs. Every disease process affects the normal function of the body and affects the body’s water needs. For example, gastrointestinal problems such as prolonged diarrhea cause a loss of large amounts of water. In these cases, replenishment of lost water is of great importance in the prevention of dehydration. Age also plays an important role in determining body water requirements. For example, infants need 1500 ml of water per day, whereas adults’ intake of water should be between 2 and 3 liters per day. It is a general recommendation that adults should drink eight glasses of water a day. The second approach to calculating the required amount of water per day is caloric intake, and the rule states that for each 1000 kcal intake it takes about 1000 ml of water.

What can cause inadequate water intake?

Gain weight because the water retains in the body so that the body can maintain important functions, and therefore it is difficult to urinate.

Loss of energy because dehydration can cause body fatigue

The drop-in concentration and focus because the brain is made up of 80 percent of water that is key to brain function

An increased risk of stroke has been proven to researches that show that besides lack of water is difficult to recover from stroke, it also increases the risk of stroke

You become cranky, and this is proven by two US studies that have carried out congenital tests on subjects who were slightly dehydrated, affecting them with headaches and nervousness

You can feel dehydration and you feel like your stomach is empty and you’re actually thirsty

The metabolism is slowing down due to the reduction in the amount of water in the body, food dicompose much slower

Apparition of wrinkles because without the water collagen begins to crack and bind together, causing the formation of lines and wrinkles that become more noticeable

The effect of exercise is reduced by the fact that without sufficient water carbohydrates are difficult to convert into energy

It complicates the kidney functioning, which is also logical because water is crucial for diluting the blood and without it the kidneys are more difficult to filter the blood

It also complicates the heart functioning due to fact that the heart must stronger pump blood to organs like the brain

The color of the urine changes and becomes brown and much darker than when the body is not dehydrated.
