The consumption of high quality living water, rich in nutrients, is very important for humans. This affects both our health and the general condition of the body. Currently, the water business is very developed, so it is important to know how to choose the right drinking water.
Instructions
Step 1
Be sure to start the choice of drinking water with the label, since it is on it that contains information about what is in the bottle. If the label is faded, carelessly printed, or poorly adhered, rest assured that the water will be of the same quality.
Step 2
Drinking water includes artesian, spring, purified, mineral and carbonated water. If the label states that the water is artificially mineralized, it means that natural water has been subjected to several stages of purification. Multiple filtration purifies the water not only of harmful, but also of useful substances, therefore, after purification, various minerals and salts are added to it. Such water is of high quality, but very poorly perceived by the body.
Step 3
Pay attention to the shelf life of the water. In plastic bottles, it cannot be stored for more than 1, 5 years, and in glass - more than 2.
Step 4
Look for the address, the manufacturer's phone number, and the place where the water was made on the label. This information is very important to protect your rights in the future.
Step 5
In addition, the label must contain a reference to the fact that the water is produced in accordance with TU (technical conditions) and standards. Certification is confirmed by a special conformity badge - a trefoil enclosed in a circle. In doing so, pay attention to the indication of the presence of a regulatory document to which the water complies.
Step 6
Look at the color of the water. If it is cloudy, there is a sediment at the bottom or a film on the surface - this is the first sign of a violation of the manufacturing technology or improper storage of water.
Step 7
Avoid buying drinking water in high-risk areas such as spontaneous markets, wholesale markets, bazaars and suspicious stalls.
Step 8
Avoid buying water of an unknown brand that is too low cost, with a badly readable label or no label at all.
