CHOOSE Purified Water Nothing is more important to you and your families health then drinking purified water. The recommended water consumption for the average person should be a minimum or 1.5 to 2.5 litres of purified water per day (1.5 to 2.5 quarts) to replace fluids used. The water you drink helps flush your kidneys of toxic substances, assists in controlling your blood pressure. The more purified water you and your family drink helps maintain a healthy lifestyle.If you don’t drink the minimum required water on a daily basis dehydration can occur when your body has less water than it requires. When your water level is just one percent below normal, you will feel extremely thirsty, at five percent below normal you will have a mild fever. One of the best ways to stay hydrated is to drink purified water. Caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, and colas are diuretics that actually dehydrate the body meaning that they use more water to process than they provide, alcoholic beverages do the same. Drinking reverse osmosis purified water is the best way to stay hydrated.Drinking enough Reverse Osmosis Purified Water can improve your health and well-being. This is important for so many organs in your body getting enough water is key to achieving optimal health. Water helps maintain blood volume which maintains your energy. Proper hydration improves your concentration and reaction time, especially during exercise. Water increases the number of calories during regular daily activities.

Wastewater Is a Source of Valuable Water, Energy and Nutrients: How Do We Recover It?

Originally published on TriplePundit

Words by Kate Zerrenner

In a study released last month, United Nations University’s Institute for Water, Environment and Health found that large amounts of water, nutrients and energy are being flushed away, as it were, in the world’s wastewater streams. Globally, we produce wastewater amounts equivalent to about five times what passes over Niagara Falls in a year. Contained in all that wastewater is enough energy to power all the households in the U.S. and Mexico, enough nutrients to meet 13 percent of global fertilizer needs, and enough water to fill Lake Ontario in four years, according to the study.

Those are staggering figures, but there are some next-step takeaways from the study that should not be overlooked.

We need more and better wastewater data

The study authors acknowledge that even with the impressive numbers they have compiled, data on wastewater is inconsistent or, in some cases, unavailable. This is a recurring problem in the water sector. A lot of assumptions have to be made because the data simply does not exist or is incomplete.

There is inadequate data on water in both developed and developing regions and at every level of the system, including leaks and losses, infrastructure, policy, quality, and more. To make better decisions, policymakers need more complete and accurate data. One of the ways better data can be gathered is through the deployment of smart water management, including smart water grids—which, like smart appliances or smart electric grids, can more accurately pinpoint flows, leaks and weaknesses.

Management and recovery should be better integrated

There’s a saying in the energy-efficiency world that the longest distance is that between the boiler room and the board room. In other words: What the people at the data and operations level know is not necessarily what is talked about in the executive suites of utilities and cities.

Further, in cities in particular, sectors may be siloed, creating more inefficiencies. For example, a city may manage its water, energy and food issues under different jurisdictions that do not coordinate. Better integration would mean that, when addressing wastewater issues, relevant conversations could be had about withdrawing nutrients to help with agriculture or the development of biogas capture.

For example, the city of San Antonio, Texas, which utilizes municipally-owned water and electric utilities, has high-level coordination of the two sectors. Its Crouse Water Recycling Center is an example of their collaboration: In addition to providing 115 million gallons of recycled water daily, it also generates 1.5 million standard cubic feet of natural gas daily, and 80 percent of the resulting biosolids are processed for use as compost.

Policy and innovation go hand in hand

Smart water technologies continue to advance, but there is still more that needs to be done to develop net-zero energy and energy-positive technologies in the water and wastewater sector. All the innovation in the world will not be worth anything, however, if policymakers and industry leaders do not undertake the necessary changes to implement them.

Often the barrier to solving water problems is the lack of political and economic will, not a limitation in technology. Pay Drechsel of the International Water Management Institute in Sri Lanka, and one of the study’s authors, noted: "For countries to progress, there is a need to invest in a supportive regulatory and financial environment toward a green economy, and to leverage private capital for resource recovery related business models that are financially feasible and increase cost recovery from municipal wastewater.”

Innovation can provide the proof that pushes policymakers and business leaders to see the benefits of looking at the entire system. Wastewater is well situated to offer a case in point. Take, for example, this textile mill in India, which needed a solution to a messy problem. The plant’s wastewater contained elevated levels of dissolved solids, even after two rounds of treatment. Downstream farmers went to the government about the resulting waterway pollution, but the most obvious fix —a thermal water treatment system— was an expensive proposition for the textile mill.

Tina Arrowood, a principal research scientist at DuPont Water Solutions, worked with the mill to innovate a new system that made more economic sense. Based on proven reverse osmosis technology, the system her team created isn’t just cheaper — it’s also more robust and effective than thermal methods: The plant was able to recover more than 90 percent of the water for operational reuse, reducing the need for freshwater withdrawals, and recycle the salts for resale.

“Technology companies can learn from industries on the ground to create tailor-made solutions to problems,” Arrowood told us. “Creating a circular economy in water-stressed regions can then help pay for systems” like the one used at the textile mill.

Innovations like these show proof of concept that can push policymakers to support creative responses to tough water problems. The U.N. University study presents some impressive figures, and there is every reason to believe we should be able to take that data and do something meaningful with it. As our cities continue to grow and climate change advances, the pressures on our water supplies will increase. Innovative policy and economic solutions are already here for the taking.

Important Understanding TDS and Water Quality

Our Health-Metric TDS meter is often used to measure the “purity” of the filtered water. It is important to understand what TDS measurements mean. TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) is a measure of all the dissolved substances in your water. TDS does not distinguish between “good” and “bad” substances. TDS is not a measure of safe or unsafe water. The results of a TDS measurement may be “Great!” for one application and “Not so good” for another. Let’s pretend a water supply has a very low TDS level of about 30 ppm. An orchid grower would be very happy to mist her plants with this water.The mist would not leave unsightly mineral deposits on the orchid leaves and flowers.

A swimming pool owner would be very unhappy if his water supply was this low. He would have to add quite a bit of calcium and alkalinity-boosting chemicals to properly increase the mineral level in the swimming pool. Don’t make the mistake of think high TDS means bad water. A tropical reef ecosystem, teeming with colorful fish and coral, has a TDS level of about 35,000 ppm! From these examples, we learn that “good TDS levels” are relative and depend on what the water is used for.We’ve compiled a list TDS levels from a wide range water supplies and uses. The TDS levels are based on what the water is used for or where it comes from.

• Coffee brewing – 75 to 250 ppm • Tea brewing – 50 to 150 ppm • Pools and Spas – 1000 to 3000 ppm • Steam ironing – 0 to 30 ppm • Car wash – 5 to 30 ppm • Thermal spas – 300 to 46,000 ppm • Injectable drug – 0.00 ppm • Pickle brine – 30,000 ppm • Bottled water – 16 to 300 ppm • Mineral water – 3000 ppm • Distilled water – 0 ppm • Hydroponic tomatoes –1400 to 3500 • Window washing – 10 to 15 ppm • Niagara Falls – 132 to 509 ppm • Amazon River – 2 to 10 ppm

As you can see the ideal TDS level depends on what the water will be used for. A pharmaceutical manufacturer must use ultra-pure “zero” TDS water for an injectable drug. However, a healthy bottled mineral water can have up to 3,000 ppm TDS. Distilled water should have close to zero TDS. Yet bottled spring water may a TDS level over 300 ppm.

In general super-purified water (distilled, deionized, reverse osmosis) will have almost no TDS. Drinking water that contains minerals and salts will have a much higher TDS. Both types of water are safe to drink but will provide different results when used in preparing food preparation, cleaning and other uses. The Health-Metric TDS meter is a valuable tool for testing the nature of a water source. The important thing to know is what the desired TDS level is and compare your test results to that figure.
