The Hidden Danger of Dirty Filters:
Protect Your Health and Ensure Water Quality
Got yourself a Sterra S Tankless Water Purifier a while back? It's time you change your filters. If you don't, this is what could happen..
You rely on your water purifier to provide you with clean, safe, and great-tasting water.
But did you know that neglecting to change the filters in your water purifier can pose serious risks to your health and compromise the quality of your water?
Read on so you don't let outdated filters put you and your loved ones at risk!
Simply installing a water purifier is not enough.
It is vital to regularly maintain the filters of the purifier to ensure an uninterrupted supply of pure water
Why Are Water Filters Important?
Removes rust, sediment, colloid, and suspended solids as small as 5 microns effectively. Plus, it filters out the remaining odour in water and improves its taste.
Traps organic matters including residual chlorine, colour, odour, and harmful halogenated hydrocarbon in water.
Removes micro-impurities, bacteria, and colloids in the water as small as 0.02 microns. Further removes residual chlorine and organic matter in water.
Here's the thing: if you don't replace the filter when you should, it won't actually do its job of keeping you safe.
You might not even realize it, but it's a crucial practice.
What Happens If You Don't Change Your Filter
Contaminant Build-Up
Over time, the filters in your water purifier become clogged with impurities, sediment, and contaminants that they've captured from the water.
When filters are not changed as recommended, this build-up can result in reduced filtration efficiency, allowing contaminants to bypass the filters and enter your drinking water.
It means you're not getting the level of purification you expect and putting yourself at risk of consuming harmful substances.
Bacterial Growth
Without timely filter changes, the moist and dark environment within the filters becomes a breeding ground for bacteria.
Stagnant water trapped in old filters creates the perfect conditions for microbial growth, which can lead to bacterial contamination of your drinking water.
Consuming water with bacteria poses health risks, including gastrointestinal issues, infections, and weakened immune system responses.
Foul Odour and Taste
Outdated filters are unable to effectively remove impurities that affect the taste and smell of your water.
You may notice an unpleasant odor, strange taste, or a cloudy appearance in your water, indicating that the filters are no longer working optimally.
Neglecting filter changes can result in persistent off-putting flavors and smells, making it difficult to enjoy your water and beverages.
Reduced Performance & Efficiency
As filters become clogged and worn out, the overall performance and efficiency of your water purifier diminish.
The flow rate may slow down, and the system may struggle to produce hot or cold water as intended. It can lead to inconvenience and frustration when you're unable to access the desired temperature or volume of water promptly.
Regular filter changes ensure that your water purifier maintains peak performance, providing you with the water you need, when you need it.
Compromised Health & Safety
The most critical risk of not changing filters is the potential harm it poses to your health and safety.
By consuming water that hasn't been adequately filtered, you expose yourself to various contaminants, including bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, chemicals, and pesticides.
These substances can lead to short-term health issues, such as gastrointestinal problems, as well as long-term health risks, including organ damage, developmental issues, and increased cancer risks.
Now that you're aware of the downsides of not replacing your filters on time, we really hope you'll make it a point to change them as needed. It's crucial to keep your water filtration system running smoothly.
Otherwise, you run the risk of damaging the system and consuming harmful contaminants. Take care of your health and the effectiveness of your filtration system by staying on top of filter replacements.
