Water plays a much bigger role in your kitchen than you might think. Whether you're putting together a salad, boiling pasta, or crafting the perfect cup of coffee, the quality of your water can make all the difference. AquaTru's advanced reverse osmosis (RO) system is here to help deliver clean, pure water that enhances the flavours in your food and drinks.
Why water quality matters in cooking
Water is the base for many dishes, from soups to sauces to rinsing vegetables. However, tap water often brings unwanted guests, such as chlorine, fluoride, and metals. These can dull your food's flavours, leaving it a little off. Have you ever noticed a metallic or flat taste when boiling veggies or pasta? That's the tap water doing its thing.
Switching to purified water changes that. Suddenly, the flavours in your ingredients shine through. Whether you're whipping up a broth, steaming fresh vegetables, or making a salad dressing, using pure water makes a noticeable difference.
The perfect cup of tea or coffee with purified water
If you're a tea or coffee lover, you probably already know that the water you use can make or break your brew. But here's the good news: if your tea is a bit too bitter or your coffee doesn't taste rich, the water could be the reason. And that means, with the right water, you can significantly enhance your beverage experience.
For tea, reverse osmosis (RO) water is a great choice. Tea thrives with demineralised water, which makes its subtle, delicate flavours stand out. On the other hand, coffee is a little more particular – it needs some minerals to hit that perfect flavour balance. The ideal total dissolved solids (TDS) for coffee is around 150. If you're using purified water, adding some minerals back in can really enhance the coffee's depth and aroma.
Health benefits of cooking and brewing with purified water
It's not just about the taste—purified water is also good for your health. Tap water can sneak in unwelcome guests like lead, chlorine, and even traces of pharmaceuticals. Over time, these contaminants can add up, risking your health.
Purified water filters those harmful elements out so you can confidently cook and brew. Here's why it matters:
- Eliminates contaminants: purified water strips away lead, chlorine, and other unwanted chemicals, ensuring what you're cooking or brewing is safe to enjoy. Lead, for example, can sneak in through old pipes, and even a small amount can have big consequences, especially for children and pregnant women. According to the EPA, exposure to lead can cause developmental delays and other health issues—so having clean water is crucial.
-
Preserves nutritional value: the water you use can impact the nutritional quality of your meals. Contaminated water may degrade the natural nutrients in your ingredients, while purified water helps keep them intact, ensuring your dishes stay both nutritious and delicious.
Note: if you're cooking with RO water, remineralising it's an excellent idea to ensure the best flavour and retain nutrients in your meals. - Reduces arsenic risk: arsenic in water is no joke, and it can find its way into foods like rice or even your daily cup of tea. The University of Sheffield points out that arsenic-contaminated water can pose serious health risks, but purified water helps reduce this risk, giving you an extra layer of protection.
- Protects long-term health: drinking and cooking with clean water isn't just about today—it's about looking after your long-term health. Regular exposure to contaminants like lead can build up over time, leading to more severe problems like high blood pressure or kidney issues. Knowing you reduce those risks daily, investing in purified water makes it all worth it!
Using purified water for everyday cooking and brewing is a simple but powerful change. Whether you're whipping dinner, brewing your morning coffee, or just rinsing some veggies, purified water makes sure what you're putting into your body is as clean and healthy as it can be.
AquaTru’s reverse osmosis technology – how it works
AquaTru's reverse osmosis system uses a 4-stage filtration technique to deliver the cleanest water possible. The first stage, a pre-carbon (1-2) filter, removes larger particles and chlorine, preparing the water for more intensive purification. Next, the reverse osmosis (3) membrane targets stubborn contaminants, including heavy metals, chemicals, and fluoride. Finally, an activated carbon filter (4) polishes the water, eliminating any remaining impurities and leaving only pure, safe water.
What sets AquaTru apart is its rigorous testing by IAPMO (International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials) in compliance with NSF/ANSI standards 42, 53, 58, and 401. These tests verify that AquaTru removes up to 99% of harmful contaminants, providing a scientifically-backed level of water purity.
In addition to its high performance, AquaTru is also designed for ease of use. It's easy to install and maintain and fits seamlessly into any kitchen, making it the ideal solution for those who value both quality and convenience when it comes to water purification.
