Few myths about Water -

My tap water is safe to drink.

Water reaches your tap through pipes that are old, corroded and may have developed cracks. More often than not, sewerage water contaminants in ground, chemicals etc get mixed with drinking water. This causes physical, chemical and microbiological impurities that contaminate your drinking water.

Boiling makes water safe to drink.

Boiling only provides protection against microbial contamination caused by bacteria, virus etc., that too if boiled for over 20 minutes. Boiling does not remove dangerous chemicals/new age contaminants like lead, pesticides and physical impurities like mud, dust, rust etc.

All packaged or canned drinking water is safe.

Yes it is, provided that bottlers maintain a hygienic processing environment. Reuse of bottles/cans and caps, handling & storage can lead to contamination of water.
