Recently, the government promotes drinking water and promotes the safety and cleanliness of tap water, but it does not get a great response from the majority of users.

The reason is that the tap water produced in the water purification plant is in a reliable state before it is supplied to each user, but the tap water is supplied through the majority of old water pipes in the process of being delivered to users, so it is not suitable for water, rust, and corrosive substances. Foreign substances such as this is difficult to drink directly.

The foreign matter contained in the tap water has been found to cause direct harm to health, such as skin disease or heavy metal poisoning to the user, and also because the chlorine-specific odor is left in the tap water because it is sterilized by water purification process. It is also one of the reasons for difficulty in drinking tap water.

As a result, the government and local governments spend a lot of money and time on the replacement of old pipes, but each household and place of use has water purifiers and dechlorination units to clean up foreign substances in drinking water or to remove odors of chlorine.
