Pollutants

Drinking water

Is drinking water from the tap really good for your health?

Even if it complies with standards, tap water can contain viruses, bacteria, pesticides, PFAS, heavy metals and chlorine. These pollutants can affect the taste and smell of the water, as well as the health of those who drink it.

Does the whole of France need to treat drinking water from the tap?

Almost everywhere in France, analyses confirm that water contains traces of pollutants, often deemed “acceptable” by law... but present nonetheless.

Overview of pollutants present in tap water

LAVIE is committed to eliminating pollutants from the water without altering its mineral properties.

Our solutions improve the daily lives of thousands of households. You too can make the water in your home better.

Common pollutants

Chlorine, E. Coli, Salmonella, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, agricultural pesticides... These pollutants are sometimes present in tap water for a number of reasons: treatment plants, outdated networks or seepage. As for chlorine, it gives the water an unpleasant taste and encourages you to drink less than you should.

In some cases, these pollutants have a direct impact on the health of those who consume them: stomach upsets, infections, chronic fatigue...

The good news is that our water purifiers eliminate 90% viruses and bacteria in just a few minutes.

Eternal pollutants

Mercury, arsenic, sulphates, acids... These pollutants, known as eternal in some cases, break down only very slowly in the natural environment. They often come from old pipes and industry and contaminate tap water to levels that are often below current standards.

These substances, known as endocrine disruptors, can unbalance the body's natural functions and, according to some research, increase the risk of cardiovascular problems and certain cancers.

The good news is that our pre-filtration solutions, which can be installed under your tap, eliminate 99.9% of these endoctrinian disruptors in just a few minutes, leaving you with water free of eternal pollutants.

Limestone

The presence of limestone in tap water is due to the natural mineral content of groundwater. Concentrations vary from region to region.

The effects on health are less serious but much more common: harsher taste, feeling of dryness on the skin and hair.
Limescale also has a significant impact on the lifespan of your household appliances.

The good news is that our softener removes up to 76% of limescale, leaving your water soft and preserving its minerals.
