Contaminated water is one of the primary sources of life-threatening diseases in Africa and the world. Waterborne diseases afflict millions worldwide every year and are responsible for many deaths, especially among children. However, this can now be changed with the advent of a cutting-edge solution – Aqua Salveo’s water purification drops.
One of the most common symptoms of diseases caught by people due to the consumption of unsafe and infected drinking water is diarrhea. According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 829,000 people die from diarrhea every year. Of these, an estimated 297,000 are children aged 5 years or less.
However, there is hope because diseases and deaths caused by contaminated water are largely preventable through various water disinfecting solutions.
Aqua Salveo is one of the most innovative water treatment solutions available in the market. It is a liquid water disinfectant that's odorless and colorless. It's more effective than chlorine when it comes to killing illness-causing microscopic pathogens.
Although there are several viable and potent ways to purify water, Aqua Salveo is superior to all of them.
Let's go through some points describing how Aqua Salveo’s liquid water disinfectant is a better alternative to other water decontamination methods.
• It retains the purified state – Boiling is the oldest water purification practice in use, even today. However, boiled water can get contaminated again if handled with dirty hands or utensils. On the other hand, water purified through Aqua Salveo will stay purified for 10 years if stored properly in a closed container.
• It retains the ‘tastelessness’ of water – Chlorine and iodine tablets are very useful in decontaminating water as they are potent disinfectants. But disinfecting water with chlorine, iodine, or similar chemical tablets gives water a strange taste. Aqua Salveo is tasteless and retains the original tastelessness of water while removing impurities comprehensively.
• It is not cumbersome – Another method for purifying water is by adopting water purifiers. They have a filtration system designed to purify water using UF, RO, etc. But carrying water filters with you, even the portable ones, counts as extra luggage and is quite tricky. Aqua Salveo is a liquid disinfectant that can be easily stored or carried and offers complete water purification.
• It doesn't need a rechargeable device – There are several devices available in the market that can purify water on demand. One of them is a UV water purifier. You need only stir the water for a few minutes to remove harmful bacteria and viruses. However, you need to carry additional batteries or recharge them from time to time. This is not the case with Aqua Salveo. You need only add a few drops to the impure water, and it's ready to drink within 30-60 minutes!
Disinfected water is used in more areas than one can imagine. Here are the primary applications of purified water:
1. Drinking – Water used for drinking purposes should be free from contaminants. Since most waterborne diseases are caused by the bacteria, viruses, and protozoa present in disinfected water, access to pathogen-free water for drinking becomes critical. The consumption of purified water promotes the overall health of a family.
2. Food preparation – Washing fruits, vegetables, staples, and types of food and cooking them in water containing chemicals will result in your healthy food absorbing those harmful substances. Using purified water for preparing your daily food will prevent you from ingesting them.
3. Infant formula – Impure water poses the greatest health risk to babies and small kids. Using purified water for your baby’s formula helps prevent serious diseases caused by dangerous microorganisms like E. coli, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, etc.
4. Swimming pools – The water in a swimming pool must continually be refreshed to keep harmful bacteria, viruses, algae, and other pathogens at bay. Refreshing the pool with disinfected water keeps it clean and safe for all swimmers.
5. Plants – Impure water filled with chemicals damages plants. Regular intake of chemicals present in the water can cause plants to die quickly. Purified water can help them stay green and healthy for a long time without withering away before time. This is particularly important in the agricultural industry.
Advantages of Purified Water to Developing Countries
In a developing country’s budget, the healthcare sector sees a large allocation from the government’s funds. If there is an overload of medical cases, the healthcare system will come under extreme duress.
Disinfected and purified water can offer people the first layer of protection against preventable waterborne diseases like typhoid, cholera, dysentery, and salmonella, among many others. When people have equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water (along with water for other applications), they will not fall ill.
Purified water offers various economic and social benefits as well. If people have access to enhanced sources of pure water, such as through purification by water treatment methods like Aqua Salveo’s liquid water disinfectant, they will
• Have to spend less effort and time to travel far to collect it physically. This also helps reduce potential musculoskeletal disorders arising from long and/or risky journeys to collect and carry water. Spending less time on safe water collection also means people can be productive in other ways.
• Save on high medical costs as they will fall ill less often and can use their income in other areas that require them more.
• Be able to provide their children with better education options and other amenities, leading to their bright future.
As a modern liquid water disinfectant solution, Aqua Salveo comprises ingredients like silver, zinc, and copper in minor traces. These components are safe for people in a specific concentration and lethal to pathogens like viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, etc.
Aqua Salveo is approved for use by the South Africa Bureau of Standards (SABS) for disinfecting water within 60 minutes at most. It does not need refrigeration and offers all-around health benefits such as enhanced immunity, digestion, and resilience against infectious conditions, courtesy of the active ingredients mentioned above.
So, start using Aqua Salveo today and take the first step towards a healthier life!
