Although Norway generally has good drinking water, there are challenges that can affect water quality. Here are some reasons to consider water filtration:

Why filter the drinking water?

Old water pipes: In many places in Norway, there are older pipe networks, which can lead to leaks and contamination of drinking water.

Heavy metals: Lead and copper can leach into the water from old pipes, especially in older buildings.

Chemical residues: Residues of pesticides, medicines, and microplastics may be present in the water.

Bacteria and parasites: Although it is rare, periods of heavy rainfall or pipe breaks can lead to microbial contamination.

Benefits of water filtration

Reduced exposure: Filtration can reduce levels of heavy metals, chemicals, and microorganisms in drinking water.

Better taste and smell: Removal of chlorine and other substances can improve the taste and smell of the water.

Protection of household appliances: Filtered water can extend the lifespan of appliances such as coffee machines and kettles by reducing limescale deposits.

Recommended water filter

To ensure clean and safe drinking water at home, it is recommended to use an effective water filter. An example is the water filters available at vannrenser.no, which is developed to meet Norwegian conditions and remove various contaminants from drinking water.

By investing in a quality filter, you can contribute to better health for you and your family, as well as protect household appliances from damage caused by impurities in the water.
