Worried about the safety of your drinking water? Concerned about the harmful bacteria that may be present whenever you turn on the tap?
If you think buying a drinking water treatment unit (DWTU) will solve that problem, think again. According to the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), water treatment devices won’t remove bacteria from the water and may actually increase bacterial content!
These units should not be confused with water purification devices or tablets that can remove 100% of disease-causing bacteria or germs. MDH officials said DWTUs simply reduce chemicals from the water and should be used only on water that is free from harmful bacteria.
