Filters Offer Solution to Concerns Over Microplastics in Drinking Water

Filters Offer Solution to Concerns Over Microplastics in...

A new study has found that people drinking bottled water are possibly consuming more than double the amount of microplastics than those who choose tap water. Now Doulton Water is reminding families who want to take action to protect themselves against ingesting microparticles that a water filter can help. Check out our water solutions now! A recent study into the effect of plastic pollution on humans, led by Kieran Cox, found that people could be consuming as many as 39,000 to 52,000 plastic microparticles each year. The study drew the findings from existing research and found evidence of plastic micro-particles in a number of food and drink products. These products included honey, beer, sugar and salt. The study then looked at how often these were consumed. However, a startling finding from the study carried out by the University of Victoria and the Hakai Institute research centre, was how much the expected level of microplastic consumption increased when drinking bottled water. Plastic micro-particles in bottled water People who only drank tap water were found to be exposed to 4,000 plastic microparticles compared to 90,000 in people who only drank bottled water. With little known about the effects of consuming microplastics on the body or tolerance levels, there is concern about what effect this could have. The consequences could be people taking action to cut their exposure to, and reliance on plastic in their day-to-day lives. Doulton Water manufactures water filtration systems from its base in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, that remove microplastics from tap water down to 0.5 microns in size. Control the quality of your water People often ask, 'Can water filters remove microplastics?' Doulton's water filters use all-natural ceramic technology to remove up to 99.99% of common contaminants from drinking water, including microplastics. So, in simple terms, yes. Marketing manager Yvonne Allen said: "Our health is too important to take chances with, and taking steps to avoid consuming microplastics clearly makes sense. Doulton water filters allow people to drink water straight from the tap that is clean and that tastes as good as bottled water. Research into microplastics in drinking water has focused on particles sized 6.5 to 100 microns. Doulton Water Filters will remove plastic-sized particles just 0.5 microns from drinking water making them ideal for families who want peace of mind in regard to what they are drinking. "The findings are certainly alarming, but as individuals, we can take action to protect ourselves as well as to cut down our single-use plastic waste footprint by choosing not to buy bottled water." Doulton Water Filters is a global water filtration specialist that has been manufacturing ceramic water filters for nearly 200 years. Want to learn more?

Why We All Need to Care for the Quality of Our Drinking Water

Why We All Need to Care for the...

Clean water is something that everyone should have access to, but that should never be taken for granted. Water Quality Month is a timely reminder of our individual responsibilities to protect the planet and the resources that we depend upon. The quality of the water we drink is everything, and that is much more than variations in taste; polluted, contaminated water is harmful to the natural world as well as humans. While we depend on water companies to deliver quality drinking water, rivers and streams can all too often become polluted as a result of human activity. Check out our water solutions now! The importance of cutting down on water pollution As we are being encouraged to take a greener, more environmentally conscious approach to modern living, Water Quality Month wants to encourage a few simple steps to reduce water pollution and protect drinking water quality standards. These include: Tips to reduce water pollution: Avoiding the use of pesticides and fertilisers as these get flushed into the water system Do not flush medicines down the toilet these pharmaceuticals head straight into the water system Avoid using household chemical cleaners, which again wash into the water system Do not tip paint or oil down the drain Stop buying single-use plastic The pollutants affecting our water While considering how to avoid accidentally polluting water, it is worthwhile to consider the pollutants that can affect water. In developed countries, most contaminants are removed during the sanitation process ahead of the water being channelled into the mains supply. Disinfectant, usually chlorine or chloramine, is also added to the water to prevent any contamination as the water completes its journey to serve people's homes. Using a water filter allows families to remove that chlorine once the water has reached their home, as well as any other common contaminants that may be present. In areas where there is a concern about drinking water quality standards, using a water filter is a sensible idea as it brings a guarantee of quality. The major pollutants that can affect drinking water quality include: Groundwater run-off - Agricultural groundwater run-off brings with it fertilisers and pesticides used to treat crops, as well as potential bacteria from animals grazing on the land. Even run-off from non-agricultural areas can be problematic washing oil from cars and bacteria from pet faeces into waterways. Toxins washed into waterways - Paint, industrial pollutants, chemicals, and oil can all be washed into drains or even directly into rivers, causing a problem for aquatic life as well as the quality of the water. Heavy metals - Rust and other debris can make their way into the waterway through old pipes, porous rocks, and discarded items and rubbish. Microplastics - Research has found microplastics in drinking water and tap water as a result of plastic micro-particles being released from decaying plastic, as well as being washed into the system from plastic-based clothing. The problems with polluted water Untreated water can also contain cysts such as cryptosporidium, which can cause stomach illness. If not removed from drinking water, many of these pollutants and contaminants could cause serious illnesses, including cholera, shigella, E. coli, and salmonella. Presented with the results of a lack of care towards our waterways that feed our drinking water supply, it is patently obvious why we should all take care to protect the quality of our water. Doulton believes everyone should have access to the best quality drinking water. Using a Doulton water filter will give you peace of mind about drinking water quality by removing up to 99.99% of common contaminants, as well as chlorine and microplastics down to 0.5 microns. For tasty and clean water every day, on tap, find your Doulton water filter. Want to learn more?

Taking a Family Break from Modern Life? Make Sure Your Camping Equipment is Up to the Job

Taking a Family Break from Modern Life? Make...

Modern life can be all-consuming and getting back to nature offers the perfect antidote, but before you head off-grid make sure you have a portable water filter you can trust. Concerns about screen time, a poor diet, too much time indoors, school pressures and the environment, in general, can prove overwhelming for parents. Check out our Gravity Filters now! The immense pressure no doubt helps to account for the popularity of family camping holidays, woodland breaks and the rise in 'off-grid getaways.' Getting back to nature is a chance to get away from it all, reconnect with your children and tear them away from their screens. When planning your escape though, having the right equipment will make a difference. Do you really want to go camping and end up driving out to the nearest convenience stall to stock up on drinks or plastic bottles of water? Or can you be sure about the quality of the water you will have access to onsite? Consider your footprint when getting away from it all - take a water filter camping Considering the environmental footprint of your family camping holiday should be a factor when enjoying the spoils of nature, which by default means minimising waste, in particular, single-use plastic waste. However, enjoying the best quality food and drink is also important to the quality of your holiday. Just as using a camping stove doesn't necessarily mean sacrificing the quality of the food you eat with a bit of careful planning, a trip away also doesn't need to mean compromising on the quality of your drinking water. A gravity-fed stainless steel water filter is the ideal solution for families concerned about plastic pollution and access to a reliable water source when camping. Rather than boiling water for drinks then relying on the campsite shop for juice or bottled water, you can enjoy access to good quality water that is perfect for making the kids drink as well as washing and preparing all your food. Just because you're getting away from it all doesn't mean you have to compromise on quality. Doulton's gravity-fed filter works by filtering water from a top chamber, through high-performance ceramic filters into the lower chamber where the filtered water can be accessed. Sustainable access to quality water when camping As well as being compact and easily portable, Doulton's gravity-fed water filter offers high-quality performance. The benefits of the system include: No need for a mains water supply No electricity needed Filters up to 99.99% of common contaminants Easy to use Long-lasting Removes chlorine to improve the taste of water Choosing a stainless steel portable water filter also means there is no need to store water in large plastic containers when camping. If you are committed to making sustainable choices at home, don't compromise on a family camping holiday. When taking your children away on a health-boosting family holiday to get back to nature consider the quality of the water they will be drinking. Our children deserve the best, make sure a quality break is just that from the water they drink to the air they breathe. Want to learn more?

How To Stay Hydrated (With Healthy Water) In A Heatwave

How To Stay Hydrated (With Healthy Water) In...

As soon as the mercury begins to rise above usual levels, warnings are issued about heatwaves, but why are they dangerous, and how can you stay hydrated? Check out our water solutions now! The start of summer 2019 has seen parts of Europe sweltering in a heatwave while 2018 saw a prolonged period of unusually high temperatures in the UK. With climate change becoming an increasing problem, scientists are warning that we should expect more heatwaves to come. During a heatwave, as well as trying to stay cool wherever possible, members of the public are also advised to stay hydrated to avoid the ill effects of the excess heat. Why is it important to stay hydrated in a heatwave? Hydration is important every day of the year as water provides our bodies with the means to transport blood and to support the function of major organs such as the heart and brain. As the body loses fluids, they need to be replaced by drinking more water to avoid dehydration. In hot weather, this is even more important as increased sweating means more fluid is lost. Plus, hydration in a heatwave also serves to help cool the body and regulate temperature. The main health concern when there is a heatwave is heatstroke. Initial symptoms may prove to be heat exhaustion, which can be treated if fast action is taken to cool the person down including drinking plenty of water. If this develops into heatstroke, emergency treatment is absolutely necessary. How can drinking water help in a heatwave? Heatstroke is caused when the body overheats, which makes staying cool in a heatwave important as difficult as this may be. Sweating is the body's natural response to heat as it self-cools. As fluids are lost through sweating it is important to stay hydrated to help regulate your temperature and to avoid dehydration. Dehydration and excessive heat are a lethal combination and the effects on your body should not be underestimated. In fact, dehydration can be a factor in heatstroke. To stay safe in a heatwave, wear loose-fitting clothing, seek shade and cool areas and be careful when exercising and, of course, drink plenty of water. Tips to stay hydrated in a heatwave: Always carry a bottle of drinking water with you Sip water regularly throughout the day to maintain fluids Use an insulated reusable bottle to enjoy cool water on the go Always drink water with meals Enjoy ice-lollies made with water and juice Avoid alcohol Filtered tap water tastes great and is an excellent way to get all the family drinking more water if you are concerned about hydration. Doulton water filters remove up to 99.99% of common contaminants, including chlorine, to provide clean, tasty water on tap. Fill up and take a bottle with you to make sure you have access to water when out and about.   Want to learn more?

With a 500ml capacity, the Doulton TASTE bottle is PET and BPA free and complete with a removable filter cartridge for ease of cleaning and use as a standard water bottle.

The Doulton TASTE bottle combines the power of Doulton home water filter systems with the convenience of bottled water. That way you are able to take filtered water with you, wherever you go. The TASTE bottle has true filtration of fine particles such as dirt, rust and micro plastics down to one micron in size. Enjoy delicious water on the go, refilled from any tap with more than 95%* of chlorine removed and reduction of organic contaminants. The TASTE bottle also removes heavy metals, such as lead up to 90%* efficiency, improving the taste and odour of water from any tap. An Environmentally Friendly Alternative To Bottled Water The Doulton TASTE Bottle has been carefully designed taking into consideration many of the common issues and concerns related to the bottled water industry today. One of these issues relates to the plastic problem and the impact of single-use plastic waste upon the planet, oceans and wildlife. The TASTE bottle is an environmentally friendly, cost-effective alternative, eliminating the need to purchase single-use plastic bottled water. Doulton believes that the impact of individual choice will collectively help to preserve the planet. There are many simple changes that individuals can make to reduce their plastic waste footprint, starting by eliminating the use of single-use plastic bottles, which is one of the major contributors to plastic pollution around the world. The cold, hard facts... Nearly 35.8 million single-use plastic water bottles are used in the UK every day, half of which are not recycled. Consequently, each year, 8 million tonnes of plastic waste enter and pollute the oceans, damaging and threatening marine life and adding dangerously to the plastic problem. Doulton home water filter systems have helped families to avoid single-use plastic bottles at home for many years and the launch of the Doulton TASTE bottle will help many people to be environmentally friendly whilst on the go. As well as being an environmentally friendly alternative to bottled water, the Doulton TASTE bottle is also a cost-effective substitute, costing just 3 pence per litre of instantly filtered water. With bottled water costing an average of 85 pence per litre, the TASTE bottle helps to save the pennies, as well as the planet. Depending upon the quality of the tap water, the TASTE bottle cartridge can filter up to 300 litres, or 600 bottle fills before a replacement is required. Refill Out and About With Doulton TASTE As a result of concerns regarding the plastic problem around the globe increase, authorities in London and many other cities in the UK have installed drinking water fountains for public use, allowing thirsty residents and visitors to refill a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated on the go and ditch single-use plastic bottles. Refill schemes allow the general public to refill their reusable water bottles free of charge at local restaurants, bars and cafes. By simply downloading the Refill app, users can locate the nearest refill station and take their reusable water bottle to be refilled, discouraging the use of single-use plastic bottles. With the support of Refill schemes and the installation of public water filters, reusing the Doulton TASTE bottle whilst out and about couldn't be easier. Effective removal of chlorine, organic contaminants and heavy metals eliminates any uncertainty regarding the cleanliness of public water fountains and ensuring that the water you drink, refilled from any tap is clean, healthy and the best quality it can be. Avoid Microplastic Particles in Bottled and Tap Water Although the impact of microplastic consumption on human health is still unknown, there are concerns around plastic particles entering the food chain through drinking water and ocean pollution. Recent studies conducted by Orb Media revealed that almost 93% of the bottled water can contain microplastic particles, with one litre containing an average of 10 plastic particles. The Doulton TASTE bottle helps to avoid consuming microplastic particles by eliminating the need to purchase single-use plastic bottled water. The majority of plastic particles found in bottled water matches a common plastic that is used for the water bottle caps, suggesting that some plastic particles enter bottled water when the cap is broken to open the bottle. The presence of microplastic particles is not solely confined to bottled water. Studies have shown that tap water can contain an average of 4.45 plastic particles per litre. Orb Media observed that the size of plastic particles present in tap water range from 6.5 to 100 microns in size. As well as helping to avoid microplastic particles as an alternative to bottled water, the TASTE bottle also removes microplastics from the tap water used to fill up, effectively removing fine particles down to one micron in size. Stay Hydrated Whenever, Wherever Water is essential for human survival. The human body is made up of around 60% water, so it's important to stay hydrated to ensure the body can function correctly. Maintaining fluid intake and drinking plenty of water improves blood circulation and the distribution of oxygen to the vital organs in the body. Due to busy lifestyles and work schedules, many people find it difficult to regularly drink water on the go. Whether you're in the car, on the train or sitting at your desk at work, keeping a refillable, reusable water bottle with you will help you to remember to sip plenty of water throughout the day. The Doulton TASTE bottle improves the taste and odour of drinking water leaving you with delicious water on hand, all day, every day.

Doulton Water Filter Highlighted as 'Game Changer' at...

Doulton water filters have been selected as a "Game Changer" in Exclusively Houseware's influential Scarlet Opus trend showcase. Check out our water solutions now! Sustainability Matters Sustainable hydration has been identified as a leading force in future consumer choices with families looking for more environmentally-friendly ways to live well. Led by trend forecaster Scarlet Opus, the On Trend showcase at this year's Exclusively Housewares show is a major indicator of the products consumers and retailers will be investing in over the next two to three years. A new "Game Changer" trend showcase at Exclusively Housewares, which runs from June 11-12, will highlight innovative products that combine technology and sustainability. Doulton use natural ceramic technology to filter harmful contaminants from tap water. Providing consumers with quality, tasty water straight from the tap with no need for single-use plastic water bottles. A Shift In Consumer Wants & Needs Doulton's filtadapt in Pebble, which will feature as the On Trend "Game Changer" Recommended Product, combines this powerful filtration with the flexibility needed for modern life that makes it suitable for all. The need to cut plastic pollution as a result of the hard-hitting Blue Planet television series has resonated with consumers, who have been made sharply aware of the need for collective action in cutting waste. Each year, 77 billion single-use plastic bottles are used in the UK and campaigners are now urging more people to carry reusable bottles and to drink tap water. The message of longevity and quality has long been part of Doulton Water Filters' ethos. The water filters remove up to 99.99% of common contaminants from tap water, including chlorine, which can affect the taste. Doulton's Marketing Manager, Yvonne Allen said: "With a 10-year life expectancy for the housing, a Doulton water filter, with replacement filter cartridges, will deliver 46,000 litres of drinking water, which would avoid the purchase of 23,000 single-use plastic water bottles. That is a significant individual impact on single-use plastic waste and the more households choosing water filters instead of bottled water, the greater the reduction in waste will be. "It is clear that sustainable living is essential and that waste reduction needs to be a common theme in households to help to protect the environment. Where the quality of drinking water is a concern, using a water filter is the sustainable solution." Why Choose Doulton? A Doulton ceramic filter features an outer shell that is made from 100% natural earths with coconut shell used for an activated carbon core. The biodegradable filter cartridges need to be replaced every six to 12 months to maintain maximum performance. Yvonne added: "Good hydration is important to wellbeing and the obvious choice for a healthy lifestyle is water, rather than sugary bottled drinks. Drinking filtered water straight from the tap is vital to maintain health and live more sustainably." Scarlet Opus is a leading trend forecaster identifying future fashions to inform the retail, manufacturing, design and architecture industries. It has identified three key trends for the future: Traveller, focused on world stability and fairness; Fellowship, based on the idea of collective action to create a better tomorrow; and Satori, a natural and sustainable approach to living.
