Take Along Clean Water for All of Your Hiking Needs

Although it's easy to remember to pack a travel drink and maybe some backup drinking water for a hike, it's also easy to underestimate the amount really needed. Proper hydration is usually the top of the list for whenever you're going to be spending a lengthy amount of time outdoors, and that certainly does remain a key component of preparing for a trip. Yet, there are several other instances where it's just as important to be utilizing clean water:

Rinsing clothes: Whether you need to do a quick rinse to minimize a stain, or you're hand washing to refresh smelly clothes, you may be using water that contains environmental toxins. Remember, that even if the water looks clean enough to bathe in, it may still have lingering pollutants.

Bathing: Again, when it comes to bathing, often people judge water purification by the appearance. Bacteria and even cancer causing agents in water can be present, unbeknownst as we wash our bodies and hair.

Brushing teeth: You're camping overnight, or need to get a bad taste out. Even something as simple as water scrubbed on the teeth or swished around in your mouth can pass along contaminants. That's why bringing along purified water is the best way to make sure it's free of pharmaceuticals that have leaked into the system.

Food and drink preparation: Heating water to cook food or make instant coffee won't thoroughly rid it of any impurities.

Aqua Perfect has premium water conditioning products, such as the Hague WaterMax®, to make sure that the water you use at home, and for when you go out, is top quality and absolutely clean. Call us today, and arrange for an in-home water analysis and demonstration that will directly show you why we're the best at what we do for the Middle Tennessee region.

Use Clean Water to Prepare and Cook Food

Think about how second nature it is, using water when it comes to food and beverages. You rinse fruits and vegetables either right after bringing them home from the market or store, or right before using. You rinse dry beans and grains, then use water to cook them. Coffee, hot and iced tea, and drink mixes need water. Soups, stews, gravies, and many other dishes use the same drinking water that you fill your glasses and travel bottles with. If it's just a quick rinse, or if the water is boiled, then it can't be bad, can it?

The importance of clean water does matter when using it for food. You're not completely removing residue when the water isn't as pure as you think. Although boiling can be beneficial with some bacteria removal, especially in emergencies, it won't entirely remove all of the environmental toxins that may be lingering. You're essentially left with meals and drinks that still bear contaminants, despite how little water was used, or how strong the temperature and steam were. Consider how great your recipes will taste once there's quality water from the tap!

That's where Aqua Perfect comes in. We're an authorized dealer of Hague products and services, and have the best filtration systems for your home and needs. You can call us 10am-5pm, Monday through Friday, to discuss what you're looking for, and to set up an appointment for a free water demonstration. When you see it is possible to have top quality products that will remove bad taste and odors from your water, you'll experience a whole new level of cooking and enjoying whatever you prepare. Cups of coffee and hot chocolate and tea will taste so much fresher, and you'll have more confidence in cleaner food, when you're rinsing and using purified water!

Keep Cool in the Heat with Clean Water!

 A lot of people think about the importance of clean water in public swimming areas, and rightly so. Whenever there's groups of people and animals using the same sources, there is the concern for contaminants and other elements that could affect quality water. But how often do you think about the water being shared by your friends and family during outdoor Summer fun?

Even if you're splashing around with people and pets you live with, it's still important to think about bacteria removal. Something even as simple as a small kiddie pool or inflatable swimming pool can still harbor toxins that either come right from the water, or linger from what's brought into the wading areas. Families with babies or young children are probably already quite familiar with how easy it is for dirt to stick to them, and the constant worries about what transfers from one surface to another. Since you're usually filling those pools with a hose connected to the kitchen sink, water purification can make a huge difference in how comfortable you are with swimming or laying in it.

Spare pools can also serve as drinking water for pets and other animals that wander in and out of the yard. Additionally, it can be a great way for animals to cool off during high temperatures, or used as quick baths when the family companions get too muddy.

And don't forget about sprinklers! Even though anyone using it is just running through it, it's still a very good idea that it be as clear and safe as your drinking water.

Call us today, to discuss how Aqua Perfect can set up a filtration system that will work for all of your home needs. We have Hague products to meet a variety of budgets, so let's get started on setting everything up!

Clean Water Helps You Stay “Green!

Did you know that having purified drinking water is not only great for your health, but also for the environment? Quality water definitely goes a long way in our efforts to stay “green” and make improvements in cleaner living.

With the proper filtration system, you can repair plumbing damage that may result from limestone and other mineral build-up. This also eliminates the use of chemicals that you may try to undo any issues, but that won't work because all that's needed is to treat the hard water. In addition, you won't be running water more than usual, to try to futilely remove shower stains that can result from water and plumbing effected by build-ups.

Softened water will also result in dishes, glassware, and laundry that are properly cleaned the first time, thus you won't constantly be repeating wash cycles, wasting water, or unnecessarily increasing utility bills.

Of course, the most obvious green effect of pure drinking water is the ability to sharply reduce or even eliminate the need for bottled water. Knowing that the water that's coming from your tap is crystal clear in appearance and taste, that there are all toxins removed, is a comfortable and secure feeling. By not having to rely on plastic, you save on money and storage space, and do a favor for the environment and material consumption. This also extends to drinking water for dogs, cats, and other animals that share your home.

To learn more about Aqua Perfect's commitment to helping the Earth as much as helping our middle Tennessee consumers, please call us Monday-Friday, 10am-5pm. We're happy to explain our reverse osmosis and water softener systems, as well as other Hague products that best fit your needs. We'll even arrange for a free water demonstration and analysis in your home, a service worth $87!

Have Your Own Customized Labeled Bottled Water!

From pool parties to company picnics to barbecues to annual family get togethers, now's the season for outdoor gatherings. It's also the time for long road trips, beach getaways, sports and leisure festivals, and exploring the outdoors. One of the essential ingredients to home entertaining and outside fun and business, especially in the heat, is clean water.

As important as it is to reduce landfill waste, there are times that bottled quality water is a necessity. You may need to have plenty of drinks on ice during an event, or be traveling, where it's easier to have smaller disposable means to water. A key thing to remember is that with our services at Aqua Perfect, home access from the tap is not the only way to have purified drinking water. 

You can order bottled water that serves the purpose of the occasion, and also has customized labels to reflect your function. Thus, you're able to provide your guests or potential customers with drinking water free of environmental toxins, and also promote or remind them of the event. For companies and organizations, it's a great marketing and fundraising tool, and for personal occasions, the label is a fun keepsake, utilizing a product that everyone has a need for.

If traveling with canine family members, don't forget about the importance of drinking water for dogs. They also require a lot of hydration during trips and outdoor activities, and the benefits of toxin removal in water is just as high for them. Carrying purified bottled water for their bowls is convenient and always insures that you'll have it available.

Remember, Aqua Perfect is available Monday-Friday, 10am-5pm, to provide middle Tennessee customers with the drinking water needed for any occasion. Call us today to discuss how you would like your own personally labeled bottled water!

Save Money & Preserve Clothes and Dishes with Soft Water

It's happened to almost everyone at least once: dishes washed in the dishwater retained streaks, dishes washed in the sink still couldn't get clean, and laundry stains still remained. You switched detergents, used different water temperatures, but still, feels like you're trying to clean the same load over and over. If you're going through this, it's time to take a look at your water hardness.

Quality water isn't just about the taste and health benefits to your body. It's also about how it best reacts with cleaning agents, and its efficiency in removing residue from everyday items such as clothes and dishware. The term “softened water” refers to water that has had minerals removed from it, resulting in a fluid that is better for washing.

So how beneficial is hardness removal? It has ecological and budget friendly perks. You don't have to use as much detergent, because one wash should be all it takes to get things cleaned. Water temperatures don't have to be so high to work effectively, so heating costs can remain lower. Since one wash is usually all it takes, you'll use less water, which also lowers expenses. Without a build-up of minerals in it, the water can attack stains stronger, adding to clothing and dish durability. Water softening removes lime deposits, which can clog pipes, as well as leave streaks on glassware. As if all of this wasn't great enough, removing the high concentrations of minerals means your shower and/or tub will now no longer be full of those chalky white streaks!

Aqua Perfect is happy to discuss the importance of clean water, and how our reverse osmosis systems are one of the ways to purify your water. Sign up or call for our free in-home water analysis and demonstration throughout the middle Tennessee region, worth $87, today!

How Safe is Your Pet's Water?

Have you ever thought about the quality of water your pet is drinking? For many pet parents, it's simply a routine of re-freshening the bowl or bottle. Sometimes, the container is left for a couple of days, until it needs refilling. What you don't realize though, is that animals are just as susceptible to environmental toxins as we are.   

Bacteria removal is essential to providing clean drinking water for dogs, as well as cats, rodents, birds, amphibians, and reptiles. Animals can develop infections that we may not notice right away or attribute to something else than from the water. How often do we just ignore our pets or give them a light admonishment when we catch them drinking from a dripping tap or even our own glass? If you haven't yet insured that you have purified drinking water for yourself, then you're also putting your pets at risk. Water that's old or shared by animals is a good breeding ground for bacteria to thrive, so if your pet is not drinking as much as he or she should, it's possible there's something off. Constipation, fatigue, dental problems, and gastro-intestinal upset are a few ailments that can befall pets, while giardia is a serious illness that can kill, all the more reason to stress the importance of clean water.

For pets such as fish, frogs, and turtles who live in water, chlorine removal and 

water purification are just as important.

Aqua Perfect has water filtration systems for all of your family's needs.  Call us if you live in the middle Tennessee region, and would like a free water analysis to see how we can change the bottled water quality from every tap! The sooner you see us, the sooner your pets and you will be drinking the best water there is!
