Clean water in a family home: its impacts and how to improve it

Water is an integral part of everyday life – we use it for drinking, cooking, washing, watering the garden, and for pets. However, we often only pay attention to it when something stops working – such as when odour, rust, deposits, or health problems appear. Yet, water quality can be influenced before problems become apparent.

One way to take care of water in our family home is to treat it directly, as it enters the home. This method will ensure clean water throughout the household. And this is precisely where it is useful to know about technology that does not just address the taste or hardness of water, but takes a more comprehensive approach to it.

Where to start: clean water from the mains and from the well

Every house is different – some are supplied from the public mains, others from private wells. Both options have their advantages and drawbacks:

• Although water from the public mains is regularly monitored, it often contains residues of chemicals used in disinfection (such as chlorine) or bacteria.
• Well water, on the other hand, is close to the natural cycle, but may contain nitrates, bacteria, or sediments from the bedrock that are not visible to the naked eye. The topic of well water is discussed in this article.

In both cases, it makes sense to consider treating water as it enters the house – that is, before it reaches the taps, washing machine, or the shower.

STABFOR^® technology for water treatment

The advantages of a STABFOR^® unit and structured water are described in more detail on this website. To summarize the main characteristics of treated water, they are:

1. Natural glacial taste:STABFOR^® technology brings back the natural, fresh taste of glacial springs to water, that you can have in every tap in your home. Verified and compared to water from New Zealand glaciers and the Bosnian pyramids.
2. Long-term stabilisation: Special technology in perfect symbiosis ensures clean and tasty water for a long time without the formation of unwanted biofilm.
3. Natural processes: The entire water treatment process is ecological and non-toxic, simulating the natural behaviour of water found in the wild, that is natural for the human body.

Structured water in everyday household activities

Treated water also has an impact on everyday activities that we don't normally perceive as “problematic”, but you can tell the difference very quickly:

• When drinking, the water feels lighter, does not stick to the tongue, and does not have an unpleasant after-taste. People who only used to drink bottled water often switch to treated water.
• When washing dishes (by hand or in the dishwasher), there are no dried traces or film left on the glass and cutlery. The dishes shine better and the consumption of cleaning agents decreases.
• When cooking, it does not cloud the flavour – the water allows the ingredients to stand out, especially in broths, tea, or coffee.
• Utility water at home – for example for washing – puts less strain on the washing machine, laundry is softer even without fabric softener and the colours remain vibrant for longer.
• In the garden – healthier plants and friendlier to soil (the topic of gardens is discussed in this article)
• In the pool – an ecological solution with long-term water stabilisation, friendly to the skin and eyes, maintains the natural pH (the topic of the pool is discussed in this article)

When the STABFOR^® unit is connected to the mains, it reduces the overall need for aggressive chemicals – whether for washing, cleaning, or disinfection. This not only benefits appliances and the skin, but also the environment.

What's more, the water that leaves the house, for example from the washing machine or sink, no longer contains unnecessary chemicals. This is important not only for nature, but also for domestic sewage treatment plants or septic tanks, which are sensitive to the composition of waste water.

Unit installation

The installation of the unit is very simple and can be easily integrated into the family home. The installer will help with the installation and after that, the unit works automatically and requires minimal supervision.

Čistá voda v domě i v jeho okolí

Jedním z často přehlížených přínosů je to, že domácnost, která používá vodu šetrně a bez zbytečné chemie, nezatěžuje okolní prostředí. V menších obcích nebo u domů s vlastní kanalizací nebo septikem je to znát velmi rychle – méně zápachu, menší potřeba čištění, menší riziko kontaminace půdy nebo spodních vod.

Když se k tomu přidá i správná péče o studnu nebo bazén (například pomocí přírodních stabilizátorů bez chloru), můžete svoji domácnost zbavit závislosti na chemii a mít ji šetrnou k vám i ke krajině.

Clean water in the house and its surroundings

A benefit that is often overlooked is that a household that uses water sparingly and without unnecessary chemicals does not pollute the surrounding environment. In smaller villages or houses with their own sewerage or septic tanks, this can be seen very quickly – less odour, less need for cleaning, less risk of soil or groundwater contamination.

When you add proper care for a well or pool (for example, using natural chlorine-free stabilisers), you can free your home from dependence on chemicals and make it friendly to yourselves and the landscape.
