Anyone needs to drink at least one and a half liters of water a day to feel good. Nowadays, practically in every office and in many shopping centers there are coolers where you can draw cold or hot water and quench your thirst. Few people think that this liquid can greatly harm health.
Plastic "seasoning"
The worst damage to the water in the cooler is the plastic from which the bottles are made. In Russia, it is allowed to pour water into polyvinyl chloride containers, although in Europe they have long been recognized not as food, but as technical ones. But in our country, many manufacturers save money and use cheap plastic, which easily releases harmful substances into the water.
Poisonous trace elements do not immediately cause poisoning, but they undermine a person's health if he has been drinking water from plastic bottles for many years.
Even if this material has passed all certifications, there is no guarantee that the water in it was not transported in the heat or cold, and the heated plastic did not begin to decompose.
Excessive cleaning
The contents of the bottles are initially not happy with the chemical composition of the water. If you bottle it right after extraction from the well, the office coolers will start to break down in a couple of months. For the heating and cooling elements of the device, such a liquid has too high a hardness. Therefore, in factories, water is purified from calcium and magnesium. It is convenient to pour it into a kettle, because there will be no scale, but it washes out useful salts from the human body. Bones, nails, hair and skin of a person are noticeably affected by this. They become brittle and brittle.
Microlife
Finally, the third problem is the lack of hygiene when using the cooler. Unscrupulous manufacturers poorly wash bottles that are taken from users. If at the same time the water was also stored incorrectly, blue-green algae willingly bloom in it.
Blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, produce an amino acid that replaces substances in the human body for the production of proteins. This is fraught with the destruction of nerve cells.
If you drink such a "broth", it is easy to get diseases of the skin, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract. And over many years of use - even asthma or allergies. In addition, the owners of coolers do not always know that at least once every six months, or better often, the cooler itself needs to be flushed. The most effective way is if the manufacturer accepts it under the guarantee for disinfection on the conveyor. If this is not done, the device will grow inside with tiny algae, and they gradually poison the water. And the users themselves can bring dirt into the cooler. It is enough to grasp the faucet with your hands not washed after going to the toilet or traveling in public transport. The bacteria in this way enter the filter and into the water. The same thing happens when the bottles in the cooler are changed with dirty hands. From the cork, E. coli and even fecal bacteria enter the nest of the water intake, and from there - into the bottle. There they breed quietly, because there are two necessary conditions: stagnant and warm water.
