Mineral-Rich Water is Vital: Here’s Why

The human body is made up of 60% water. From physical activities to cognitive function to mood- it defines us, whoever we are. 

We consume water, all day, every day in many forms- from hot and cold drinks, cooking, washing food, ice cubes and everything in between. We drink it ourselves and serve it to friends and family (including our pets!). But, for something we consume so readily the quality is, more often not, not what we think it is. 

Mains access to water in the UK and Europe is at virtually 100%, but what about  quality water?  And by quality we mean the level of contaminants vs the level of nutrients. Here, we’re going to focus on the level of nutrients: so, how mineral rich is your water, and why is it important?

UK Tap Water

Water in the UK is collected from natural sources where it picks naturally occurring minerals from the ground it flows through. It then goes through an intensive municipal filtration process.  Along the way, your water can pick up contaminants such as chlorine, fluoride, micros plastics, heavy metals, pesticides may also include,

• Pesticides
• Mercury
• Manganese
• Chloride
• Chromium
• Ammonia 
• Arsenic
• Bacteria 

and more. Source *https://www.simplexhealth.co.uk/drinking-water-testing/

This means that, whilst the water still contains trace-minerals, it can also contain contaminants which can alter the look, taste, odour and health profile of your water. 

It’s these contaminants that need to be filtered out, whilst retaining all the trace nutrients to leave quality, clean, mineral-rich water. 

What Kind of Minerals are Found in Water and How Do They Help?/ Minerals typically found in water and how they help/ Other punchier sub-heading

Calcium and magnesium are essential for improved cardiovascular health, bone health and promotes muscular/ nerve function.

Iron is important for blood circulation and promotes better oxygen levels. This in turn helps you stay energetic throughout the day.

Zinc supports the immune system, making your body able to fight against infections, diseases and improves the healing process.

Potassium ensures your blood pressure levels are ideally maintained. The right fluid balance in a human body helps nerves and muscles function properly.

The percentage of these minerals and various others found may vary based on your location and the local water quality. 

Our filter removes (*subject to T&C) contaminants such as chlorine, fluoride, micros plastics, heavy metals and pesticides among many other harmful elements. 

Our filtration – Does it Really Help in Improving Water Quality?

In a word… yes!

Tap water in the UK meets the highest safety standards yet, like all things is fallible. Contaminants we wouldn’t want to ingest can enter our water before we drink it.  Potentially leaving it cloudy, with an unpleasant smell, taste or health profile. 

You want to get the benefit of the nutrients but without the contaminants. This is what our filters excel at, whilst many others out there can remove contaminants they also remove the nutrients.  

Our Phoenix Gravity Water Filters Systems don’t. With our Smart Cartridges made from high-grade activated coconut carbon that removes 99.99% contaminants including *subject to T&C

• Aluminium
• Ammonia
• Chloride
• Lead
• Iron
• Nitrates and Nitrites
• Peroxide
• Pesticides
• Sulfate 

we retain 100% of the nutrients.
