WATER TREATMENT – PERFECT WATER STANDARDS
Here below please find a summary of the World Health Organisation – WHO’s Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality, set up in Geneva, 1993. These standards are the international reference point for standard setting for drinking-water. For India these standards are set by the Bureau of Indian Standards – BIS, the erstwhile Indian Standards Institute – ISI.
The relevant BIS standard is BIS: 10500 available from the BIS site www.bis.org.in
For those of you interested in seeing the American Water Standards set by the internationally famous Environmental Protection Agency – EPA of USA, please visit the EPA site or get it from a Copy on our site.
Chlorine is widely to treat drinking water to reduce the risk of infectious disease through water consumption. Chlorination destroys all animal and microbial life in the water. It is a major factor in the reduction in the mortality rates associated with waterborne pathogen. Our reverse osmosis drinking water system removes chlorine from water.
