What is the Benefit of Mineral Water?

When people talk of good water purifiers, they typically refer to water purifiers that run on electricity, like RO(Reverse Osmosis) purifier or UV(Ultraviolet) purifier. Of these two, the RO water purifier has earned a lot of brownie points for its versatility.

A simple RO water purifier would produce a quality of water equivalent to distilled water. It eliminates 95% of the Total Dissolved Solids(TDS), bacteria, viruses, and unfortunately even mineral ions.

The human body requires trace amounts of minerals for optimal functioning. It requires Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, and Copper in particular. WHO has released an elaborate report detailing the dire consequences of consuming demineralized water in the 1980s.

We have mineral water bottles available in the market when you are outside your home and want to grab a quick bottle of water to quench your thirst. Mineral water has a formula based mineral content which will supply you with several trace nutrients.

According to Wikipedia, homeostasis is the state of steady internal, physical, and chemical conditions maintained by living systems. This is the condition of optimal functioning for the organism and includes many variables, such as body temperature and fluid balance, being kept within certain pre-set limits (homeostatic range). Other variables include the pH of extracellular fluid, the concentrations of sodium, potassium, and calcium ions, as well as that of the blood sugar level, and these need to be regulated despite changes in the environment, diet, or level of activity. Each of these variables is controlled by one or more regulators or homeostatic mechanisms, which together maintain life. 

Drinking mineral water helps regulate the homeostasis of your body.

But imagine having to live on mineral water. Not only will it be an exorbitantly costly affair, but would also ruin the environment as plastic is not bio-degradable. So, mineral water is not a feasible solution to drinking mineralized water.

But technology, thankfully, has kept pace with the worries of consuming demineralized water. RO water purifiers being a versatile option, come with the option to be fixed with a mineralizer cartridge. This ensures that you get your dose of mineral ions through drinking water.

At the end of the day, it boils down to weighing amongst three options: drinking contaminated water, drinking water from mineral water bottles, or use mineralizer cartridges. We have a winner.

Let us look at a great product from HUL’s Pureit:

The HUL Pureit Copper+ Mineral RO+UV+MF Water Purifier. It’s key features include:

  • Purified water is enriched with an infusion of pure copper
  • 7 Stage RO+UV+MF purification: Reverse Osmosis+Ultraviolet filtration+Microfiltration
  • 8 litres of storage capacity
  • Purification output rate of up to 28 litres/hour
  • Purifies water with high TDS 
  • LED indicators for filter change
  • Options for dispensing Copper-charged RO water and  RO water
  • Option to add a manual tap
  • 1-year warranty

The icing on the cake is that it offers you the option of charging your water with fresh Copper ions, ensuring that you get the right amount of copper for your body just by drinking the right amount of water. Instead of consuming mineral water for all purposes and spending a bomb, you can definitely invest in this water purifier.
