Can you drink Dubai's tap water?
Direct answer: Yes.
In fact, most of the water supplied by urban pipe networks in the world is drinking water, which can be drunk directly.
However, during the water pipe network process, the water may be polluted.
In particular, in Dubai, every household has a water tank upstairs, which may be invaded by unexpected organisms, such as geckos and even mice. If you drink tap water directly, you will feel that it tastes bad and always feels a fishy smell.
This is a report from Gulf News a few years ago.
Of course, this doesn't mean that all water tanks upstairs in your house are like this. We can't use some shocking things to scare people.
Just be aware that your water tank may be invaded, so it is very important to keep the water tank cover tight.
Next, you need to buy a water purifier.
There are two types of water purifiers now. One is the ultrafiltration water purifier.
The filtration accuracy of 10 nanometers is an ordinary high-precision filter, which is professionally called full filtration. It can filter out most macromolecular substances and is more reliable. The key is that this type of water purifier does not need to be plugged in, which is more convenient and can be directly connected in series in the pipeline.
The other is a reverse osmosis water purifier. Simply put, this is the most sophisticated water filter currently available to humans. Only water can pass through, while other anions, cations, pathogenic microorganisms, and organic molecules are all blocked and sent to other channels. This type of reverse osmosis water purifier must be plugged in, because a micro-diaphragm pump is needed to pressurize the water so that it can pass through this high-precision filter membrane. This must be plugged in, and wastewater must be generated. The anions and cations in the water (mainly sodium ions and chloride ions), pathogenic microorganisms (of course, including the new coronavirus), organic macromolecules, etc., all go to the wastewater channel and are discharged. The advantage of this is that because the debris in the water is discharged into the wastewater pipe, it is not easy to block the reverse osmosis membrane.
