MINERAL CONTENT IN WATER
• Minerals occur naturally in the water supply and depending on its concentration, it can be beneficial or harmful to humans. To be sure, it is recommended to always install a water filter.

CHLORINE LEVEL
• Chlorine is a commonly used disinfectant in water treatment facilities. It helps eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and growth of algae and other disease-causing organisms in the water supply.

COPPER PIPES
• Over time, copper pipes and fittings may undergo corrosion due to elevated water acidity, low dissolved oxygen, and increased chlorine levels, which causes leaks, water discolouration, and a metallic taste.
