Water Purifier Equipments

Introduction
The history of water filters is indelibly tied to the history of water, itself. As
human industry has grown and water has become more contaminated, water
filters have emerged over the centuries in response to the growing recognition
of the need for pure, clean water to drink and the realization that such water
does not occur naturally.

Water has greatly affected humanity and civilization for millennia. Because
water is so absolutely vital to our body systems, we, as living beings, are
entirely dependent upon water. In fact, this simple substance, more than any
other factor, guided the formation of civilization. Early civilizations were
clustered around water sources, and it was water that initiated the first
substantial agriculture in the Fertile Crescent, leading to more complex and
sedentary civilizations. For centuries, water availability guided the type of
foodstuff that could be grown in an area. Water was also the impetus and
guiding force behind the first cross-cultural interactions. Early trade was
completely dependent upon water, for transportation of goods and sustenance of
people and animals.

Throughout the centuries, as technology developed, people have gradually

gained more control of water. They have been able to transport water to arid
lands, stop and redirect rivers, and even determine when, where, and how much
rain will fall. Even with increased control of water resources, water still
continues to dominate the political, economic, and social structure of all
nations. This statement can be verified by looking at political struggles within
the United States over water resources or throughout the Middle East over
access to limited water. Concerning conflict in the Middle East, former World
Bank Vice President Ismail Serageldin stated in 2000, "Many of the wars of this
[20th] century were about oil, but the wars of the next century will be about
water".

In modern times, concerns over water quality remain supreme. Over the years,
scientists have discovered more and more contaminants in fresh water sources,
and these same scientists have noted a strong correlation between drinking
water contamination and many significant health problems. Due to the rampant
impurity of water and the crucial, physiological need for clean, fresh drinking
water, several treatment alternatives have emerged throughout the history of
water treatment. Water filtration, one of the more viable and prominent of these
treatment alternatives, has something of a remarkable past. Historians believe
that the use of water filters began more than 4000 years ago! In the next several
pages, the fascinating history of water filters will be addressed. Read on to
learn more about this interesting history.

City water treatment plants are simply unable to provide pure, chemical-free
water to city residents. Even when water is purified at a municipal water
treatment plant, it often picks up lead and other chemicals when traveling
through a homes plumbing system. While shower filters are a viable solution
for the removal of chlorine from showering water, the best, and most modern,
available water filtration technology lies in whole house filtration systems.
These water filtration systems are installed in individual homes. They filter
water as it reaches a homes plumbing system, removing chlorine byproducts,
tiny organic materials, and any other unwanted chemicals. They provide the
purest form of water available. In fact, water filtered through a whole house
water filter has begun to fulfill Hippocratess vision of great-tasting, clean
water.
