Barrelled water has entered more and more homes and offices due to its convenience. Experts remind consumers to pay attention to three key points when drinking barrelled water.
First, pay attention to the quality of the water dispenser. The selected water dispenser should have been inspected by the health department and must possess the health permit issued by the health administrative authority.
Second, pay attention to the hygiene quality of the barrelled water. Purchase barrelled water that has both a Food Hygiene License and a Certificate of Inspection. Additionally, you can distinguish it by its appearance: high-quality purified water is clean, colorless, transparent, free of suspended solids and sediments, not viscous, and has no peculiar odor.
Third, pay attention to keeping the water dispenser clean. If a water dispenser is used for a long period without regular cleaning and disinfection, dirt will accumulate in its water tank, water channels, and outlets, causing secondary pollution of the barrelled water. It is recommended that consumers clean and disinfect the water dispenser regularly, with a frequency of once every 3 months in the summer and once every 6 months in winter being appropriate.
