The water we consume may contain bacteria and parasites that may cause diarrhea, vomiting, headaches, fever, and sometimes even death.
Water coolers as well as mineral water bottles are bacteria incubators because they do not use chlorine which prevents them.
Examples:
- In September 2020, residents of Lake Jackson, Texas, have been warned about using tap water after a deadly brain-eating microbe was found in the city’s public water supply. Tests confirmed the presence of Naegleria fowleri in the system. The amoeba can cause an infection of the brain, which is usually fatal.
An investigation into the city’s water supply began after a six-year-old boy contracted the microbe and died. - Cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis are two common gastro-intestinal diseases caused by swallowing water polluted with cryptosporidium or giardia parasites that reach the intestines.
- Legionella Bacteria. This violent bacteria strikes under three conditions:
- Scale
- Rust
- High temperature
An example is the outbreak of the Legionella bacteria in the city of Flint, Michigan in the U.S. in April 2018,
where hundreds of people were hospitalized, 12 died and pregnancies ended due to the violent bacteria.
We have a solution that can be added to the T-18 which can prevent the Legionella bacteria. Contact us for more info.
The T-18 Water System can prevent aerobic bacteria and parasites in the water.
