Water purifier out of service for a week, re-drinking tap water after the heart - these changes you may not have thought about!

Last week the water purifier at home suddenly went on strike, because the parts have to wait for the manufacturer to ship, and the maintenance master also said that we have to slow down again. I had no choice but to unscrew the kitchen faucet and put the long-lost tap water back into the pot to boil and drink. Frankly, I originally thought it would be nothing more than switching back to the old way of doing things, but I didn't realize that some of the feelings I've been feeling over the course of this week have really kept me bottled up. The details and psychological changes of these days, now looking back, it is really a bit solid.

I remember the first time I poured tap water into a glass, and I froze in that moment. Before, I felt that the transparency is good, but now I can't help but scrutinize it for half a day, and I always feel that the water doesn't seem to have the same clear, bright, bubbly texture that the water purifier has just come out with. After pouring out, a faint smell of disinfectant came to my nose, I was used to it when I was a child, but when I grew up, I realized that I hadn't seriously experienced this smell for a long time.

In fact, usually after boiling is not too concerned about the flavor, but this time is different, because after a few years of using a water purifier tongue has become a lot more picky, no matter whether it is a direct drink or tea, always feel a little strange, no longer as before as a smooth and painful to drink, every mouth need to subconsciously gulp a mouth of saliva, as if this can alleviate some of the embarrassment of the small difficult to swallow. Sometimes friends pass by and ask why you don't have any bottled mineral water lately. When I heard this, I realized that we have been quietly changing our habits by the word “pure”.
Many people may say, tap water heating and boiling on the clean, there is no need to pay too much attention, but have you ever noticed that the bottom of the pot will always have an extra layer of yellowish-white circles? Every time you brush the pot always need a lot of effort to wash off, while the pot boiled with purified water almost do not need to wipe how, is always bright and shiny. The change is subtle, but it's still quite affecting over time. Some people have asked if it's psychological, and I've tried to suggest that I don't care, but once you've experienced something better, it's really hard to go back and adjust.

What's even more disturbing is that I've noticed that when I cook at home, there are more little bubbles floating on the surface of the soup, and sometimes even a film floats on the surface of the rice. I didn't realize it before because I was too busy chatting or watching TV, but now that I've switched back to tap water, I'm more and more concerned about these details, whether I'm cooking or making congee. Once I steamed an egg custard, I thought it should be smooth and delicious, but it turned out to have an uneven surface and an unpleasant odor. If you have been in a similar situation, you may understand my helplessness.

In fact, in the final analysis, most of the city's supply of tap water is after strict treatment and testing before flowing to thousands of households. But undeniably, in the delivery and storage process may still be mixed into some impurities, such as rust, scale, and even microbial residues, these problems may not be obvious in a short period of time, but if the long-term intake of health is certainly still have an impact. I can not help but think of the previous information to see a set of data - according to the health sector published information, even if the pass rate is very high, there are still residual chlorine, heavy metals and other potential risks of tap water. And these problems, with the naked eye or nose is actually very difficult to fully notice.

Studies have found that regular consumption of drinking water with high residual chlorine or enriched with heavy metals can increase the burden on the liver and kidneys, and is especially sensitive to the elderly, children and pregnant women. Therefore, if your family happens to have these groups, it is more recommended to pay attention to the daily drinking water safety issues. Of course, there is no denying that many of our friends and relatives still insist on drinking traditional boiled tap water, and they don't think there's anything wrong with it, nor do they feel any discomfort. However, to be honest, when you start to enjoy the convenience of a clean and pure lifestyle, and then return to the initial set of methods, more or less will feel almost interesting, just like the cell phone from the smart phone back to the old phone as embarrassing - although you can call and send text messages, but the loss of more convenient and comfortable experience.
There is also a particularly real problem, that is, the trouble brought by laziness. Used to directly connect the purifier out of the cool white or warm straight, now have to boil in advance every day to cool to drink, otherwise the urgent need to replenish can only be hard to pour a mouthful of hot white. There are times when I wake up thirsty before going to bed at night, and I can only blame myself for forgetting to prepare cool water in advance. Not to mention the little blessings of milk powder or instant coffee, which could have been brewed on the spot, but now all of them have been turned into waiting and waiting, which makes people feel helpless.

Talking about this, some people may say that I am pretentious, in fact, it is not to talk about, is that life slowly teach us to cherish every little happiness that seems to be taken for granted. When I first bought the purifier, I was just going with the flow, but now when it goes on strike, I really understand what it means to be “precious only after losing”. It is not only about health, but also about a sense of security, a sense of solidity, and the satisfaction of being able to enjoy the beauty of life without having to pay attention to the details. Once upon a time did not pay attention to, now stop using but a hundred nostalgia, this sense of disparity really makes people laugh and cry.

For people who intend to improve the family drinking environment, if the conditions allow or recommended to choose a reliable brand to install a suitable model of home purifier, which can effectively reduce sediment impurities, foreign colors and odors, residual chlorine residues, as well as some of the heavy metal contamination; but also improve the taste of daily cooking, so that the ingredients are more delicious, soup more clear. Of course, not all products have the same performance, so be sure to look at the purchase of filtration levels, cartridge life and after-sales service guarantee and other aspects of the content, so as not to waste money to buy ineffective or even ineffective machine. [Purchase advice] Please be sure to pay attention to product certification qualifications, anti-counterfeiting query portal as well as the user's real evaluation, multiple comparisons and then make a decision.

As for those who are temporarily unable to use or limited budget, in fact, do not be too anxious, you can prioritize the use of simple physical filtration + full boiling method to ensure the basic safety, while developing a diligent brush pot, more low-temperature cold open good habits. In addition, if you find that the water supply at home usually appear cloudy, taste abnormal or pipeline maintenance is frequent, more need to contact the property in a timely manner or a professional organization to detect and investigate the risk of hidden dangers, for the health of the whole family to put on one more insurance lock.

[Warm reminder] a little more patience, a little more careful, you can make ordinary life more at ease! This week's short separation, let me deeply understand that modern technology brings convenience far beyond our expectations, and the so-called sense of ceremony, sometimes from a cup of seemingly ordinary but clean and sweet white start. If you are hesitating to buy such a “little helper”, I believe my personal experience is worth referring to - after all, when we really pick up the old ways, we will soon miss the fresh experience we once had. So, instead of complaining about the present, why don't you take action before it's too late, and make every day better for the whole family?
May everyone have their own peace of mind soon, and never have to struggle with the heartbreaking question of “which is the best way” again. If your story is the same as mine, please leave a comment and share it with us, so that we can witness how simple things can make a big difference in our lives!
