The United Arab Emirates is a country known for its innovation and forward-thinking approach, and the same applies to its water supply. The water provided by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and the Abu Dhabi Distribution Company (ADDC) and other regional entities, is of excellent quality at the source, meeting all legal guidelines and complying with stringent standards set by the World Health Organisation (WHO). But while these entities ensure high-quality water, there are still steps to take to ensure the water you drink is as clean and safe as possible.
Water Quality at the Source
The water supplied by these authorities undergoes a rigorous desalination process to make it safe for consumption. Desalination involves removing salt and other impurities from seawater. This process ensures that the water retains essential minerals like calcium and magnesium, which are beneficial for your health.
The desalinated water delivered to homes and businesses in the UAE is of high quality. However, like any large-scale water distribution system, there are factors to consider once the water leaves the treatment plants and travels through pipes to your taps.
The Need for Filtration
Even though the water quality at the source is excellent, sediment particles and other impurities can accumulate as water passes through the distribution system. Residual chlorine, used for disinfection, can also affect the taste and odour of the water. Here's why a high-quality filtration system can make a significant difference.
Our filtration systems are designed to remove all contaminants, including:
- Chlorine: Improves taste and eliminates unpleasant odours.
- Lead: Ensures safety by removing harmful heavy metals.
- Sand and Sediment: Filters out fine particles that may remain after desalination or enter through aging pipes.
- Micro-particles: Captures particles as small as 0.5 microns (for context, a human hair is about 70 microns in diameter), providing an exceptional level of filtration.
By installing a filtration system, you ensure your water is free from impurities, delivering clean, great-tasting water straight from your tap. This eliminates the need for single-use plastic bottles, helping you reduce waste and protect the environment.
The Bottom Line
The water quality in the UAE is among the best in the region, thanks to the robust desalination process and adherence to international standards. However, to enjoy the best possible drinking water at home, a filtration system is an excellent investment. It ensures your water is free from contaminants, while retaining the essential minerals that make it healthy and refreshing.
