Water plays a more significant role in your kitchen than you might realise. Whether you're preparing a salad, boiling pasta, or brewing the perfect cup of tea, water quality is key. AquaTru's advanced reverse osmosis (RO) system ensures you get clean, pure water that enhances the taste of your food and beverages.
Why water quality is crucial for cooking
Water is the foundation for many meals, whether you're making soups, sauces, or just washing vegetables. Unfortunately, tap water often contains unwanted substances like chlorine, fluoride, and metals, which can dull the flavours of your food. Have you ever noticed a slightly off-taste when boiling vegetables or pasta? That's likely the tap water affecting the outcome.
Switching to purified water transforms your cooking experience. The flavours of your ingredients become more vibrant and clear. Whether you're making broth, steaming vegetables, or mixing up a dressing, the improvement with purified water is undeniable.
The best cup of tea or coffee with purified water
As a tea or coffee enthusiast, you're well aware that the water you use plays a crucial role in the taste of your brew. Tap water, with its impurities, can often be the reason behind a bitter tea or an off-tasting coffee. By understanding and controlling the water quality, you can take responsibility for the perfect cup every time.
For tea, reverse osmosis (RO) water is ideal because tea shines with demineralised water, bringing out its pure, delicate flavours. But coffee is a bit different – it needs more mineral content to taste its best. The ideal TDS (total dissolved solids) for coffee is around 150. So, if you're using purified water, remineralising it's an excellent idea to let the coffee's aromas and flavours come through.
Health advantages of cooking and brewing with purified water
It's not only about flavour—purified water is better for your health too. Tap water can carry contaminants like lead, chlorine, and even trace amounts of pharmaceuticals. Over time, exposure to these substances can accumulate, potentially harming your health.
Purified water ensures you're not ingesting these unwanted elements. Here's why it matters:
- Removes contaminants: purified water eliminates harmful substances like lead and chlorine, ensuring safe cooking and brewing. Even small amounts of lead from old pipes can have severe consequences, particularly for children and pregnant women. The EPA states that lead exposure can lead to developmental delays and a range of health issues, highlighting the importance of having clean water.
-
Preserves nutritional value: the quality of your water can influence the nutritional content of your meals. Contaminated water may strip away essential nutrients from your ingredients, but purified water helps preserve them, ensuring your dishes remain nutritious and flavourful.
Note: When cooking with RO water, consider adding minerals to ensure your meals retain their full flavour and nutritional benefits. - Reduces arsenic exposure: rsenic in water is a serious concern, especially in foods like rice and tea. Studies, including those from the University of Sheffield, warn of the risks of arsenic exposure. Purified water reduces this threat, adding extra protection for you and your family.
- Supports long-term health: clean water is an investment in your long-term health. Daily exposure to contaminants like lead can lead to more significant health issues over time, including high blood pressure and kidney problems. Cooking and drinking with purified water helps mitigate these risks.
Switching to purified water in your everyday cooking and brewing is a small but powerful step towards healthier living. Whether preparing dinner, making your morning tea, or rinsing vegetables, you can be confident you're using the cleanest water possible.
AquaTru's reverse osmosis technology – how it works
AquaTru's reverse osmosis system uses a 4-stage filtration technique to deliver the cleanest water possible. The first stage, a pre-carbon (1-2) filter, removes larger particles and chlorine, preparing the water for more intensive purification. Next, the reverse osmosis (3) membrane targets stubborn contaminants, including heavy metals, chemicals, and fluoride. Finally, an activated carbon filter (4) polishes the water, eliminating any remaining impurities and leaving only pure, safe water.
What sets AquaTru apart is its rigorous testing by IAPMO (International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials) in compliance with NSF/ANSI standards 42, 53, 58, and 401. These tests verify that AquaTru removes up to 99% of harmful contaminants, providing a scientifically-backed level of water purity.
In addition to its effectiveness, AquaTru is user-friendly, easy to install, and fits seamlessly into any kitchen. It's the perfect solution for those prioritising convenience and water quality.
