Why filtered water is best for your family

Water... we all need it for our very existence and it is so important that our families (especially kids) have access to clean and pure water at all times.

But why exactly is water so important?

Aside from quenching our thirst and keeping us cool and hydrated, water aids in various important functions in our body — including transporting nutrients to our organs and tissues, removing waste and other toxins, and regulating our body temperature.

Drinking filtered water is an easy and convenient way to ensure that you — and your children — are able to take in water in its purest and cleanest form .

But that's not the only reason your family should drink filtered water. Click Next to find out what the others are.

Only the best for our kids

Living in hot, tropical Singapore, we know that our fun-loving little ones sweat a lot, thereby losing a lot of fluids. Because of this, it’s important that they stay hydrated throughout the day.

For our children's healthy growth and development, they need to rehydrate themselves with water throughout the day. This is why nutritionists recommend that kids — and adults — drink at least 8 glasses of water daily.

Of course, as parents, we want to make sure that our kids are drinking water that is of the best possible quality. So how do you ensure this happens?

Keep clicking on the next few slides to find out exactly what these 5 features are!

1. High-quality filtered water

3M™'s AP2-G range’s unique miniaturisation carbon block technology has half the volume of the existing AP2 range, while matching flow capacity and filter efficiency for chlorine and sediment.

This cartridge is tested in accordance with NSF™ international standards and helps give you better quality water by:

- Reducing chlorine taste and odour;

- Reducing sediment down to 0.5 microns; and

- Reducing 99.95 percent of Protozoan cysts like Cryptosporidium & Giardia, which may cause a foul smell in stagnant water and gastrointestinal illnesses like diarrhea.

2. BPA-free certified

The dispenser is free of bisphenol A (BPA) so you need not worry about chemicals leaching into your drinking water.

This is significant because BPA can disrupt neurological functions and pose risks to our health.

3. Convenient and easy to use

Here's how 3M™'s Filtered Water Dispenser can make your life easier:

- You get hot, cold and room-temperature filtered water at any time.

- You save precious time — no need to boil, cool and store water.

- The water dispenser comes in a compact size with large water capacity.

4. Extended water dispensing space

The 3M Filtered Water Dispenser fills water bottles up to 25cm in height. It also gives you the option to dispense up to two litres at one go.

5. UV lamp

The UV light system sterilises the water by 99.9 percent, removing pathogenic bacteria — such as Staphylococcus aureus — and viruses.
