What are the reasons why you do not recommend using water filtered from the refrigerator?
ranging from health and safety issues to practical difficulties that can affect our quality of life.
Health and Safety issues
- Contamination in the Refrigerator Piping: Water filtered by a radiator filter passes through pipes and filters built into the radiator system. These pipes, if not properly maintained, can become a source of contamination with bacteria and other microorganisms. The materials of which the pipes are made degrade over time, releasing potentially hazardous substances into the water.
- Inefficiency of Filters: Refrigerator water filters have a limited lifespan and effectiveness in filtering water properly and are often not as effective as specialized certified water filtration systems. They also have a small amount of pharmaceutical grade carbon making them ineffective, leaving the water unsafe to drink.
Practical Reasons
- Difficulty in using for everyday tasks: The amount of water filtered by the refrigerator is limited, which makes it difficult to use it for cooking or washing fruits and vegetables. Daily household tasks require large amounts of water, and constantly refilling the refrigerator's tank is tedious and time-consuming.
- Inefficiency in Performance: Refrigerators are not designed to deliver water in large quantities at high speed and quality. This means that when you need to fill a cooking pot or a large bottle of water, it can take a long time, making the process impractical.
Economic Reasons
- Maintenance costs: Replacing filters in refrigerators is expensive. These filters need to be changed regularly to ensure that the water remains somewhat clean, which adds an extra cost to the household.
- Efficiency and Energy Consumption: The use of the refrigerator for filtering and water supply increases the energy consumption of the device, which leads to higher electricity bills. This is harmful to both the family's economy and the environment.
In conclusion, while filtered water from the fridge may seem convenient, health risks, practical difficulties and financial issues make this solution unsuitable. It is better to invest in certified high quality water filtration systems such as Imperial's Imperial water filtration systems.
