Monsoon Health Alert: Combat Waterborne Diseases with Advanced Purification: Dr. Hema Sagar, R&D Specialist, Eureka Forbes

Bengaluru, August 2024: With the monsoon season well underway, the rise in waterborne diseases like diarrhea underscores the critical need for safe drinking water. As rainfall increases, so does the risk of contamination in water supplies, making water hygiene not just important but essential for safeguarding health.

While boiling water has long been used to kill pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and parasites, it falls short in addressing the full spectrum of contaminants that can infiltrate your water during the monsoon. Boiling is effective at neutralizing microorganisms, but it doesn’t eliminate harmful chemicals, heavy metals, or dissolved solids such as lead, mercury, and pesticides. These contaminants can accumulate in the body over time, posing serious long-term health risks. Moreover, boiling water does nothing to improve taste, smell, or appearance, which can make it less appealing to drink.

This is where modern water purifiers come into play, offering a more comprehensive solution. Advanced purification technologies (UV and RO) are designed to remove a wide range of contaminants that boiling cannot. RO systems are particularly effective at eliminating harmful chemicals and heavy metals, while UV disinfection neutralizes any remaining microorganisms, ensuring that the water you drink is not only safe but also of the highest quality.

Investing in a high-quality water purifier is one of the most effective ways to ensure your water is free from harmful contaminants, especially during the monsoon season. The Aquaguard Superio RO+UV Taste Adjuster Stainless Steel Copper Water Purifier stands out as a superior choice, offering advanced purification with cutting-edge technologies like RO, activated carbon, and UV filtration. This purifier removes bacteria and viruses through its RO technology and UV e-Boiling, ensuring that your water is not only clean and safe but also tastes better. It is suitable for all water sources and comes with the added Goodness of Copper. The purified water is then stored in a tough, durable, and corrosion-free 304-grade stainless steel tank, providing you with the best protection against the heightened risks of the season.

While boiling water may serve as a temporary measure, now is the time to adopt more advanced purification methods. With waterborne diseases on the rise, protecting your health with modern technology is more crucial than ever. Ensure your family enjoys pure, safe water every day and the peace of mind that comes with it.
