Dangerous Bacteria in your drinking water from water vending machines

PETALING JAYA: The water you buy from vending machines may not be as clean as you think.
Twenty-nine samples of water were drawn from such machines throughout the Klang Valley – and almost all were contaminated.

There were harmful E. coli, Coliform and Clostridium perfringens microbes – the same kind of bacteria found in untreated sewage.

Coliform and Clostridium perfringens are also the same bacteria found in human and animal faeces.

These bacteria can cause cramps, diarrhoea and other gastrointestinal problems.

The Star conducted the tests together with Forum Air Malaysia, an organisation formed to assist the National Water Services Commission. Forum Air Malaysia tested 14 samples in April while The Star screen 15.

The samples were from vending machines here and in Subang Jaya, Cheras, Klang and Kuala Lumpur.
Under Malaysia’s Safe Drinking Water Act, there should not be any trace of Coliform or E. coli in drinking water.

Forum Air research and policy executive Jesslyn Pek said it was worrying that many of the samples did not have traces of free chlorine or fluoride, which are chemicals needed to kill bacteria in water.
“From the tests on the 14 water samples, six were found to have either Coliform or E. coli – and did not contain any free chlorine or chloride,” she said.
“Free chlorine must be present, because it is a disinfectant,” Pek said.
“There are standards to determine how much free chlorine is needed to be used to treat water, but as it cannot be detected at all in these samples, it shows that an insufficient amount was used.”

In the tests conducted by The Star with an accredited lab, all 15 samples tested positive for Coliform and Clostridium perfringens.

Water vending machines are found in office and residential buildings and universities or colleges.
People prefer to buy this water as it costs only about 20 sen a litre compared to bottled water, which can cost more than RM2 for the same amount.

Faeces found in condo water supply

How many people stay in a flat or apartment that has a main water tank, supplying water for your cooking, drinking, washing your face, brushing your teeth and showering with.

Well for 400 residents of the Golden Villa Conco in Klang, it was a disaster last month as sewage water was leaking into the main water tank for 2 weeks, with 18 people complaining of diarrhoea, vomiting, rashes and fever.

The water looked ok, but didnt smell right, yet it took them 14 days before they checked the main water tank and found faeces floating in the very same water they were drinking, cooking and washing their faces and mouths with, twice daily!.

What is your filter / purifier not to do

While we know what a filter or purifier is supposed to do - remove contaminants, chemicals, heavy metals, cysts & viruses - there are certain things that the filter and purifier should not do - especially for water intended for drinking and cooking:-

1. Remove dissolved minerals, necessary to good health and good taste

2. Remove salt from sea water nor remove any of the technical salts that the body requires .

3. Remove fluorides, which are salts to prevent tooth decay

4. Treat sewage nor process undiluted industrial effluent.

5. Soften water. Soft water is not desirable for drinking as minerals that make the water hard, are essential for taste and health.

6. Change the structure of water in anyway using electricity or electro magnetic charges, that may confuse the body and absorption process in the body

7. Remove dissolved oxygen already within the water, which will render the water flat and tasteless.

Nature Pure Purifier does not do these 7 things. All the Nature Pure Purifier does is REMOVE 99.99999% of all contaminants, chemicals, heavy metals, cysts and viruses in the water - up till the last drop!.
