The Peril Lurking in Your Water Bottle: Combatting Microplastics Through Efficient Filtration

Microplastics, tiny plastic particles less than five millimeters in diameter, have become a significant environmental and health concern. Surprisingly, plastic water bottles are a major source of these contaminants. Studies have shown that 93% of bottled water samples contain microplastics, raising alarms about their potential health impacts.

To tackle this issue, advanced water filtration methods are essential. Two effective technologies are prefilters and one-micron solid carbon block filters. Prefilters remove larger particles and sediment, reducing the load on subsequent filtration stages. One-micron solid carbon block filters capture microplastic particles and other contaminants like chlorine and heavy metals, ensuring comprehensive water purification.

For optimal protection, a two-stage filtration system that combines both prefilters and carbon block filters is recommended. This approach not only improves water quality but also offers long-term savings and supports environmental sustainability by reducing plastic waste. Adopting these filtration solutions can significantly lower the risk of ingesting microplastics, promoting better health and a cleaner environment.

WORLD WATER DAY 2021: “VALUING WATER”

Even in a worldwide pandemic, there are some things we take for granted; unfortunately, water is one of them. You can be sure that there are plenty of people who don’t have the same cavalier attitude towards clean water - that’s because they don’t have it. Consider these sobering facts from Drop in the Bucket, an organization who goal is to build wells and sanitation systems at schools throughout sub-Saharan Africa: There are 785 million people in the world without safe water; that’s 1 person out of every 10 who have it. A large segment of that number inhabits sub-Saharan...

DON’T WAIT FOR A WATER CRISIS TO DISCOVER  THE BENEFITS OF WATER FILTRATION

Our mission at CLEAR2O is to create water filtration products that deliver the cleanest, purest water possible. Although we love what we do, we often wish we didn’t have to do it. Imagine a world in which all the water supplies were totally contaminant-free. We’d have to find another profession, but somehow, we’d manage. Unfortunately, the reality is that unsafe water – especially for drinking – lurks in far too many places. Some of the instances are more conspicuous, and more egregious, than others. There are few people who don’t remember the fiasco in Flint, MI, where in 2014, cost-cutting...
