What standard does healthy water have?
(1) Do not contain any poisonous harmful smelly materials(heavy metal and organic substances,
(2) The proportion of mineral substances and microelement in the water is appropriate,
(3) The water PH value is 6.5-8.5,
(4) Water cluster half-amplitude duration is less than 100Hz, and water cluster is small,
(5) Water hardness is about 300(as calcarea carbonica,
(6)Dissolved oxygen is less than 7 milliliters per one liter water and carbon dioxide is moderate,
(7) The health maintenance function(dissolving capacity, osmotic force, diffusive force, emulsifying ability, clearing power)is strong.
The contaminant in the water are mainly divided into several categories as followings
(1) Fixed suspension: silt, rust, the thing that can look by eyes;
(2) Microorganism: bacteria, poison, alga and so on;
(3) Dissolved inorganic: lime carbonate, magnesium carbonate, bluestone, chloride, nitrate.
(4) Heavy metal: quicksilver, arsenic, lead, cadmium, chrome and so on;
(5) Organics: pesticides, chemical fertilizer, all kinds of industrial solubilizer, dye, cleanser, disinfector, antibiotic, hormone and so on.
