Made works; In Turkey, annual consumption of drinking water shows that about 149 liters. In general, packaged drinking water is preferred instead of tap water, especially in metropolitan cities ...

So how healthy are drinking water? How can we be sure that the water we buy is clean?

Water, which we must consume 1.5 liters every day, is expressed as our source of life. However, drinking water can be the source of many diseases. There are many water brands on the market and the consumer may not be sure which one to choose.

Drinking water is tested in line with certain limits within the scope of the "Regulation on Quality and Treatment of Drinking Water Supplied Water". In particular, it must pass chemical tests such as heavy metal determination, nitrite / nitrate determination, total hardness, and some physical tests such as turbidity, odor, taste.

Apart from these, other important tests are microbiological tests. Within the scope of microbiological tests; Escherichia coli, Coliform Bacteria, Salmonella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Clostridium perfringens, Count of Fecal Enterococci, Legionella spp. are the main enumerated microorganisms.

As for the determination of the compliance of the water we purchase with the standards, when you do research on the internet, you can come across the rankings made with the reports and company names on many sites. I recommend that you do not trust the results unless there is a list shared on the ministry's website itself.

However, water companies can share the test results, which they have to make periodically, on their own sites. When you want to access the laboratory data of the water you consume regularly, you can review the reports on the websites. Another important point in testing procedures is that it is carried out by the ministry in accredited laboratories.
