Making Water Purification a Priority Upon Arrival
So, you’ve signed on the dotted line – you’re about to make our beautiful city of Adelaide your home.
Congratulations!
Adelaide’s vibey city centre and proximity to stunning beaches makes it a great place to live.
But when moving to a new place, there are certain things you need to get sorted right away to make your settling in process as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
Adelaide’s Water Profile
Adelaide water quality may not be what you’re accustomed to – that’s why your moving to-do list should start with water filtration.
Adelaide’s treated tap water is sanitised with chlorine, a chemical which reacts with organic compounds in the water to form four toxic chemicals.
Alternatively, chloramine may be used.
And while these treatments are quite standard across Australia and many parts of the world, Adelaide has some characteristics which mean heavier doses are needed.
Why is Purified Water an Adelaide Specific Problem?
Adelaide drinking water quality is negatively impacted because our sanitised water contains higher concentrations of chlorine and chloramine.
Local factors come together to mean water needs stronger treatment to become sanitary for drinking.
For example, Adelaide’s vulnerability to flooding means water sources are easily contaminated by agricultural and other pollutants.
On the flip side, as a drier state, we also have limited natural supplies of fresh water.
Finally, as the population grows and more intensive industrial and agricultural activities take place, we are placing a high demand on our existing water sources. When too much is extracted, toxins become concentrated and require heavier doses of chemicals to sanitise the water.
How Do You Get a Water Purifier Installed Quickly?
It is best to organise your water filter systems in Adelaide before you move in.
If you’ve left it a bit late, however, contact Puratap to organise a convenient installation time.
What Do You Need to Keep in Mind?
When deciding on a water filtration system, take some time to consider the type of set-up that will be most convenient and offer you the best protection right from the start.
For some households, a single tap filtration system does the job, while other families may need a whole house filtration solution covering multiple taps.
And if you aren’t sure what you need, the best thing to do is reach out to Puratap. We’re local – and we care for locals (that’s you!).
