Water plays is vital for humans either both for drinking, and other uses. But few consumers realized the dangers of drinking and using unsafe water every day.

While natural sources of water such as rivers, lakes, and ponds contain countless harmful microorganisms, viruses, and dangerous chemical elements, the water supplied by the public water supply system can also be unsafe.

Even though the water is treated by a centralized filtration process, contamination of water distribution lines may occur due to main water pipe breakage, varying degrees of residual chlorine, lead pipes, and floods etc.

The drinking water supplied by factories can also be unsecure due to poor quality of factory production process, dust, careless transportation, poor storage and the effects of being displayed under the sunlight for long period of time before usages.

These issues can lead to drinking and consumable water that strongly affects human health. The problems that can arise from these three types of water source are; sediment, high turbidity, unpleasant taste and odour, chemical substances, harmful microorganisms like bacteria, viruses and cysts which will caused vomiting, diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps, etc.

But these water safety issues can be eliminated, according to Mr. Claff Yeap, Director of One Marketing (Cambodia) Co., Ltd that supplies globally well-known water filtration equipment brands from America like Pentair, GE, and Everpure to the Cambodian market.

Pentair is a global US company involved in water, food and energy industries with a US$8 Billions sales turnover annually. They are the biggest water solutions provider in the world with 30,000 employees over 6 continents. Targeting residential uses, the water filters are easy and cost-effective to use by just connecting it to the tap-water in the kitchen or anywhere inside the house. After just a few minutes of the filtration process and installation done, users can drink the water directly from tap as filter removes harmful chemical elements and microorganism that might be present in the water.

“Water is the most basic requirement that people need to survive every day. Therefore, it is very important that you and your family have a purer and healthier drinking water every day, and our water filtration system will be able to achieve that,” Mr Yeap said, asserting that more Cambodians are changing toward a healthier lifestyle.

Mr Yeap recommends to many Cambodians that are still using bottled water or Reverse Osmosis (RO) water filtration systems in their home to consider using the brands he has introduced, explaining that they will spend less and be healthier.

While bottled water is costly (about US$1.00 per 20 litres bottle retailing price), it might still be unsafe due to the production equipments quality / environment, poor sterilization process of re-cycled water bottles used, and the bad effects from sunlight and dust during transportation and storage before reaching peoples’ homes.

For RO filtration systems, electricity costs and frequent replacements of filtration canisters are another burden for users, while water filtered by RO systems doesn’t provide any minerals to support consumers’ health.

“…With NSF certification approval, our water filtration brands enable all users to have purer and healthier water usage directly from tap-water. After having our water filtration system installed in their homes, offices or any other location, they will have pure drinking water that costs less than bottled water,” he stressed, adding that, “While the user’s home will look cleaner without bottled water storage, they will enjoy the convenience of having water usage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week directly from their tap without having to call to order and wait for bottled water to be delivered.”

With a maximum water filtration capacity on their Everpure brand product model no. EVP PBS-400 of 11,356 litres (about 600 x 20 litres of bottled water), users will only need to change the main filtration canister once a year. This can save money and provide water at a cost of only $0.20 –$0.30 per 20 litres of water.

Besides distributing drinking water filters, the company also supplies other Point of Entry (POE) type water filtration systems to be installed before the main water source comes into the house or on other larger buildings. These POE type filtration systems will removed sediments, Odour, Chlorine and harmful chemical substances contained in the water that can affect peoples’ hair and skin. It also reduces yellowish stains on white shirts after washing.

Beyond these benefits some of the product models are also able to remove toxic materials and pesticides like lead, mercury, lindane, asbestos, and atrazine from the water.
