Safety 101: Quality of Water at Home

How sure are you about the quality of water you have at home?


Without proper testing, water can carry unknown contaminants, as well as bacteria, which can make it non-potable. It may taste alright, but this kind of water can cause some health risks, unless proven otherwise.


Even previously treated potable water can get contaminated, too, and therefore no longer drinkable. One example is when municipally treated water that has already been tested show that there is a presence of dangerous contaminants. This could prompt a ‘boil water advisory’.


One of the most common temporary remedy is to boil water for 20 minutes or more. this can remove impurities and make your water safe to drink.


How about bottled water? Is it safe to drink? There are regulatory standards for bottled water quality, but unfortunately, not all are filled with water that meets those standards and regulations. Without supporting lab results and/or documented treatment processes, you can simply assume that bottled water is just tap water that’s actively carbon filtered.


There are some manufacturers of bottled water who claim that they have UV filtered water, even assuring consumers that their product is free of any bacteria, and had been through water distillation or reverse osmosis. 


Monitoring and safety standards in many areas are not able to keep pace with the market supply of bottled water for consumer demand. If you are thinking twice about the safety of bottled water, you should take steps to find other sources of safe drinking water.


As a consumer, you need to be proactive in making sure that the water your family drinks is really potable water and is safe for everyone. There are some water filtration systems and products that can help make sure your water is free from contamination. Choosing the right one depends on the kind of water you have and the metals and microbes found in it. Talk to an expert who can tell you your best option.


Your body needs water, but water can only be truly beneficial if it’s clean and safe for your health!

My old furnace had finally broken down for the last time when contacted twintech to have a new furnace installed…They were prompt, knowledgeable and very reasonably priced. They did such a great job i tell all my friends and family about this company.

by Damien McIsaac. Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

To whom it may concern, I recently had TwinTech (Greg and Grant Dainty) replace my furnace and service both my gas fireplaces and air conditioning unit. They were professional, courteous and very fair in their pricing. I would gladly recommend TwinTech to anyone needing work done. I can be contacted at 905-626-XXXX.

by Blair N. - Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

My Fiancé and I have relied on Twintech Heating and Cooling now for the better part of the last 10 years. In that time, Greg has installed a furnace, an air conditioner, and a heat-pump at our residence in Toronto. In each instance Greg and his team were a pleasure to deal with. They were courteous and professional throughout the whole process and the quality of their work is first rate. Our experiences have always been extremely positive and we have referred his services numerous times to our friends and family. Without hesitation, I would recommend Greg and TwinTech Heating and Cooling to anyone looking to service or replace their existing heat/AC equipment

by Ruth on Twintech Heating and Cooling

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!
