The UK's drinking water is considered to be among the best in the world meaning that we can turn our kitchen tap on and feel confident that the water we're drinking is safe and clean.

The law says that drinking water should be 'wholesome and clean' and free from any microorganisms and parasites and from any substances which, in number or concentrations, constitute a potential danger to human health.

But, we all know that things can go wrong between the water treatment plant and your home which unfortunately may lead to bacteria being present in the water that you end up drinking.

Water is treated before it reaches you with chlorine and ultra violet to ensure that it's the safest it can be as it travels along the lengthy pipework to your home. But water can pick up bacteria along the way and often all it takes is a broken pipe in the street and you've given the green light for bacteria such as E-coli to find it's way into your drinking water from soil and surface water.

Some of these bacteria are resistant to chlorine such as Cryptosporidium. This type of bacteria in water would cause gastrointestinal problems in some people, particularly young children and the elderly.

Luckily our Pearl bacteria water filter is the ideal solution for combatting bacteria in water.
