Tap water renovation project

With the intensification of urbanization in our country, more and more people are moving into residential areas and using tap water, making their lives more comfortable and convenient.

But after using tap water for so many years, do you really understand it?

Although urban tap water has made our lives more convenient, everything has two sides. While tap water brings convenience to our lives, it also brings certain health risks.

The construction team of the tap water renovation project has prepared several knowledge points about tap water for everyone. Please check them out.

What is used to disinfect tap water? How should we have a correct understanding?

Disinfect with chlorine powder.

① Chlorine powder has a good disinfection effect, which can kill the majority of bacteria and viruses in water, and the cost is also low.

② It is inevitable that residual chlorine will exist, and the combination of residual chlorine and organic matter in water can easily produce trichloromethane, which is carcinogenic.

What are the current problems with tap water?

① The water pollution in the water source area is becoming increasingly serious, and the treatment process of tap water has remained basically unchanged for 100 years.

② The tap water treatment process primarily targets bacteria and viruses in water, while organic and inorganic compounds and heavy metals cannot be removed.

③ There is residual chlorine in tap water, which can cause great damage to the human body and pose a potential risk of cancer.

④ Tap water is transported to users through underground pipelines, resulting in secondary pollution.
