Is there lead in the water we drink?
18/02/2014
What is lead:
Lead is a heavy metal that is normally found in the earth's crust. It has been used in a number of household products.
Where can lead be found?
Most houses built before 1978 are painted with lead-based paints. Lead is also found in old water pipes. Thus, through corroded piping, it can invade our home.

Did you know that...
...when we take a hot shower, the pores of our skin open up, thus absorbing all the harmful substances and chemicals in the water?
The shower filter protects us from the intake of harmful substances in the water. It is great for people with sensitive skin or skin diseases. What is more, as it reduces salts, it creates more foam when you take a bath.

Why are water filters "green"?
12/11/2013
Water filters are "green"...
-> If we use filtered water, we do not throw plastic water bottles in the garbage. Plastic, although recyclable, often ends up in the trash can. Also, do not forget that it is not biodegradable, and it takes many years to dissolve. Water filters, on the other hand, always offer us fresh clean water, with our only "obligation" to renew the water filter cartridge annually.
