Pure & Safe drinking water in Chennai?

I would like to know which would be the pure and safe process of drinking water?
especially for kids ? (I use to boil the can water for my 2 yr kid)

Rightnow, we drink can water (packaged drinking water) in chennai. I don't know how far it is clean and safe.

Since there are so many Aqua processing machines (Aqua gaurd, Pure it, Aqua sure,,,,,,)
Totally confused. Any strong recommendations ?

Please Help.

Hi orange,

I remember having read sometime back , that the WHO had approved as the best,the method of filtering the water with clean cloth and drinking it or use it for cooking, after boiling and cooling.I am sorry am not able to give you the source.Since it is cumbersome people use different gadgets, according to convenience.

We had been boiling and cooling earlier, but now are using 'purit' water filter, which they claim can be given even to 6 months old babies.We don't have one, but a toddler, g.son, to who we give.My daughter who is living nearby uses acuaguard, which is also is good, since we have not come across any waterborne disease or trouble.Don't keep analyzing, just go ahead buy something and stop drinking the packaged water, please!

Hope this helps.Wishes!

Dear madam (kaluputti)

Thanks for your suggestions. Hope I must go to the same old (gold) procedure of boiling water only.

Is "purit" 100 % good ?

Has any one tested their drinking water ? Any experiences ?

Hi Orange,
All said and done, I would prefer the 'old' method.But we live in a apt.where the kitchen is very small, and facing east, it was horrible to boil water , and the whole house will be like ' thar' desert on mid-day!I had to look for an alternative.


We had been to a gynecologist once, where they had kept 'purit' water filter, and that is when we decided to try it.When the company dares to promote it with doctors, it should be trouble free we felt.One of my relatives also bought one, after lot of thought, to take it to Bombay, because it was available only in Chennai.So we bought it, and as I said we have been using it for the past 1 1/2 years.

It is almost an old age home, I mean our house, the minimum age being 56, that's me, and the max. being 81!!My g.son also drinks that water, whenever he is with us.We have not come across any problem so far.Once in 6 months it is required that we clean the filter and change it, which the man from the company came and fixed without any probs.This is all I can say.Hope this (story??)helps!

hi,

I would suggest you to go for Aquaguard. Not only for the purity but there are many advantages in it.The after sale service is great in Aquaguard. By paying a certain amount(yearly basis) we can a sign a contract, by which every 2 months a person from AG comes to our house and cleans the entire system which is not that easy to do by ourselves.We have it in our home for nearly 5 -6 yrs.It is worth the cost. Likewise a person under contract will be given first preference and reduction incase of any problem.Check with the local dealer.

Hellooooo

hasnt anyone heard of RO, Reverse osmosis, the Mineral water. there are so many brand of RO available in India these days and the water that they purify is Mineral Water !!!! Kent RO is one of them, remember the Hema Malini Ad. Aqua Guard purifies the water but doesnt remove the hardness of it, but RO systems can remove all the hardness and you have complete pure water !

can we boil 'can' water and use it after that?my friend tells that we should not boil 'can' water and drink..is it true?
