What Is Good Water Quality & Do You Know If You Have It?

What Is A good water quality & do you know if you don't have it? - advancees

water quality

We all know and understand the importance of clean and fresh water.  It is essential for maintaining good health.  Unfortunately, the water to which many of us have access is not of the highest quality.  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) legislates water quality. In fact, they have set limits on a significant number of contaminants that may be located in the water we drink. Drinking contaminated water results in illness and disease.

Why is Water Quality Important

Many medical professionals recommend drinking 6-8 glasses of water each day. When the available water tastes good, this task is significantly easier.  Additionally, poor water quality can negatively impact your plumbing, pipes, and appliances.

Understanding this, many of us are still unsure of what actually “good water quality” is.  And, how do we know?

Is Drinking Tap Water Safe? 

If your home’s water comes from a public water system in the country it is likely safe to drink. It is these facilities that operate under the oversight of the EPA. However, just because it is considered safe, does not mean that it is free of chemicals or minerals. In fact, it could contain both.

Water contaminants are numerous. Some chemicals found in tap water:

  • Parasites
  • Bacteria
  • Chemicals
  • Nitrates
  • Mercury
  • Lead

When present in low levels, these chemicals are harmless to the majority of the population, although those who are immunocompromised (transplant patients, cancer patients being treated with chemotherapy, and those who are pregnant) may be at risk. 

It is also important to recognize that the quality of your pipes can impact your water. Water that leaves the treatment plant may be acceptable, however old and rusting pipes can introduce lead.

If you have questions regarding the safety of your water at home, you can contact the EPA for more information.

If your water comes from a private well it would not be regulated or tested by the EPA. While many wells produce perfectly clean water, others do not.  Testing water quality in your well water on a regular basis is a wise decision.

Good Water Quality Is Important

Consuming contaminated water can lead to a host of illnesses.  In order to avoid this and ensure clean and clear water for their families, many choose to install water filters. These remove impurities and help deliver quality water to your family. There are a host of options available on the market; your personal situation and budget would dictate what works best for your household.  

Quality water is clean (no visible particles), odorless and tasteless. It should also be free of toxins and chemicals when referring to water quality. When your water is clean and fresh, it’s easy to drink the recommended amount on a daily basis.  And, it’s stress-free.

At Advanced Equipment and Services, located in South Florida, we are an established organization dedicated to providing our clients with RO and water purification equipment.  Of course, our team is committed to understanding our clients’ businesses and delivering the most appropriate systems for their needs.

Can Solar Water Desalination Cut Energy Expenses?

Can Solar Water Desalination Cut Energy Expenses?

Can Solar Water Desalination Cut Energy Expenses?

Water, quite often, is taken for granted. Of course, most of us drink it and use it without much thought. It’s simply something that has always been “there”.  Of course, we likely don’t even focus on the fact that we need clean and fresh water, that it is critical for life. Water, quite often, is taken for granted. Of course, we hope, solar water desalination will help cut energy costs. 

Access To Quality Water

As a matter of fact, many people across the country and around the world simply don’t have access to the quality water they need. Of course, they struggle to maintain their health and their life because of it. Needless to say, providing water to those without access has proven challenging, but advancements have been made. Furthermore, we have learned to leverage the water we do have – that which comes from our oceans. 

Fortunately, over 70 percent of the earth’s surface is water. Of course, this has been shown to be a valuable resource, especially when desalination, the process of removing the salt from seawater, is viable. 

Water Energy

Of course, while this has proven incredibly valuable, the process does require energy. Also, the level of salt in the water directly correlates to the amount of energy needed.  Additionally, as we all know, energy is costly. Of course, considering that many of the areas that don’t have access to water are less developed and struggle economically,  the cost of desalination can be a roadblock; it is concerning. 

Solar Desalination

Of course, one answer to this problem may be solar desalination. Correspondingly, this process uses solar energy to transform unusable water and contaminated water into freshwater.  Additionally, Solar energy leverages the energy from the sun (a free resource). Moreover, when this energy is combined with desalination plants (which are inexpensive to produce and maintain and incredibly mobile) bringing clean water to less developed areas that don’t have access is not only possible, it’s also cost-effective. 

Similarly, a newer process focuses on Concentrating Solar Power (CSP). Uniquely, based on membrane or thermal processes, CSP allows desalination plants to operate continuously helping to provide drinkable and usable water to areas that desperately need it.

Of course, solar power may very well be the answer to the high cost associated with the energy expenses inherent in the desalination process. Of course, as progress continues to be made, so many benefit.

What Are The Benefits Of Solar Water Desalination?

Solar Water Desalination: The Solution

One of the most vital issues in today’s world is access to clean, fresh drinking water. Very often, different regions suffer from a lack of this resource, which makes solar desalination a very important alternative solution. Solar-powered desalination is an environmentally friendly, highly efficient technique of treating seawater into drinking water, therefore tackling the global water crisis while protecting natural resources.

Let’s get into the types, benefits, and potential of solar desalination for communities and industries.

What is Solar Desalination?

Solar desalination is the process of removing salt and impurities from seawater using solar energy. By harnessing abundant and renewable solar energy, solar desalination systems provide a sustainable way to produce clean water for drinking, irrigation, and industrial use. These are especially useful in dry areas where traditional water purification methods are too expensive or not accessible.

Types of Solar Desalination

There are two main types of solar desalination systems, both use solar energy to power the desalination process:

  • Reverse Osmosis (RO): Solar-powered reverse osmosis systems use collected solar energy to drive high-pressure pumps to push seawater through a semipermeable membrane. This process efficiently removes salts, minerals, and impurities to provide clean, potable water, comprising one of the most efficient large-scale desalination methods.
  • Solar HDH (Humidification-Dehumidification): The HDH process involves using solar energy to heat seawater, turning it into vapor. The vapor is then condensed back into liquid form, leaving salt and impurities behind. This method is ideal for small-scale applications and locations with abundant sunlight.

Both methods use renewable solar energy so they are eco-friendly and cost-effective solutions for water scarcity.

Why is Solar Desalination Environmentally Friendly?

One of the major advantages of solar desalination is that it is environmentally friendly. It produces essentially zero carbon emissions, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change.

  • Onshore and Offshore Flexibility: These can be set up onshore or offshore, adaptable to different regions while keeping costs low.

By combining affordability and scalability, solar desalination is a solution for both industrial and community water needs.

Benefits of Solar Desalination

Solar desalination has many benefits, making it a preferred choice for sustainable water production:

  • Unlimited Water Source: The oceans have unlimited water, so solar desalination is a reliable solution for long-term water needs.
  • Freshwater Conservation: By converting seawater into drinking water, solar desalination reduces the load on freshwater sources for future generations.
  • Supports Agriculture: Pure water from desalination systems supports agricultural communities by providing water to grow crops and sustain livelihoods.
  • Public Health: Solar desalination brings clean drinking water to underserved areas, improves public health, and reduces waterborne diseases.
  • Sustainability: Solar desalination aligns with global sustainability goals, offering a green solution that minimizes environmental impact.

Applications of Solar Desalination

Solar desalination systems can be deployed in many settings to address specific challenges. Some common applications include:

  • Remote Communities: Provides clean water in areas where traditional infrastructure is not available.
  • Disaster Relief: Emergency water supply during natural disasters like hurricanes and floods.
  • Agriculture: Irrigation for crops in dry areas.
  • Industrial Use: Pure water for industrial processes, reducing dependence on freshwater sources.

Future of Solar Desalination

As water scarcity becomes a global crisis, solar desalination systems will gain more adoption. Solar technology and desalination processes will get more efficient, affordable, and scalable.
