Drink more WATER

Humans can survive for several weeks without food, but for only a few days without water. A constant supply is needed to replenish the fluids lost through normal physiological activities, such as respiration, sweating and urination.Reference daily intake for water is 3.7 L/day for human males aged 19-30 years. Food contributes 0.5–1 L, and the metabolism of protein, fat, and carbohydrates produces another 0.25–0.4 L^[3]. Thus, a person needs to drink approximately 2–3 L of water per day. These assumptions are limited by the condition of the subject, including personal health and physical exercise, but are also affected by temperature and humidity. For a long term functional urinary tract, about 1–2 L have to be produced per day (300-400 mL/urination, ~4 urinations/day), and the according intake has to be sustained, depending on the environmental conditions.

How Vivatap works

The free chlorine (hydrochloric acid and hydrochloric ion) and combined chlorine (free chlorine which has reacted with ammonia, forming chloramines) will instantly be converted into salts, ions, hydrochloric acid (natural part of the stomach acid) etc when the water is treated with Vivatap. Therefore the bad chlorine taste and smell will disappear.

We recommend people drink their Vivatap-treated water within 24 hours. If the Vivatap sachet is in the drinking water container for more than 24 hours, the flavour of the water can be too strong for some people. The good effect on chlorine and bacteria will still remain after 24 hours if the sachet remains in the water.

We strongly stress that Vivatap is intended for use in drinking water (usually tap water), and not for treating unknown water which we do not know is drinkable, and of course not for polluted water. Vivatap is a water improving agent (not purifier, although it has purifying effects),

Your Health and tap water

Chlorine and your tap water

Chlorine has been hailed as the savior against cholera and various other water-borne diseases.

Its disinfectant qualities and economy of production have allowed communities and whole cities to grow and prosper by providing disease-free tap water to homes and industry. Some people have grown-up on tap water, and believe the taste of chlorine signifies purity and safety. Well, not necessarily so.

Chlorine is, essentially, bleach. And what comes out of most municipally delivered taps is, quite actually, a mild bleach solution. Is it healthy to drink bleach? Does your body require any certain amount of chlorine to remain healthy? Most certainly not.

Chlorine in tap water is dangerous, researchers worldwide agree. The chemical, which is added to drinking water to kill bacteria, is linked to cancer, birth defects and low sperm counts in men. According to ongoing research, trihalomethanes, a group of chemicals formed in drinking water during treatment by chlorine may be responsible for the health side-effects.

The municipalities are stuck. Environmental and public safety laws require most to maintain a chlorine residual throughout the water main delivery system. This is to retain disinfecting properties in the event of groundwater infiltration and other contaminations. Complaining to your local water department about the taste and odour will accomplish nothing. Chances are, they're doing their best, and meeting the laws. The most practical solution to the problem is for you to remove the chlorine yourself.
