Water, the Elixir of Life

Humans, animals, and plants exist through and with water. The water cycle symbolizes the cycle of life. A drop of rain falls on the earth, driven by the wind, finds its way, and ultimately evaporates in the sunlight. The elements narrate the natural cycle of water from creation to the renewal of the cycle.

Water pollution and resource wastage are the most significant burdens the water cycle faces. They disrupt the balance of the water cycle, leading to overload. Saving water and maintaining its quality are the challenges of our time.

Reasons for Water Scarcity

Climate change and overuse are the buzzwords that explain water scarcity in Switzerland. Climate change leads to increasingly prolonged periods of drought. Lack of rain causes an imbalance in the natural water supply. The groundwater level drops. In contrast, water demand continues to rise. The population in Switzerland is growing steadily. Private households demand their increasing water needs from suppliers. Agriculture requires water to irrigate fields and secure crops. Given these challenges, saving water plays a crucial role. Generally, there is enough water in Switzerland, but it is not evenly distributed. Water supply, water distribution, and water quality form the demand triangle that water suppliers must address.

Water Pollution – Responsibilities in Ensuring Drinking Water Quality

Water quality in Switzerland is considered very good. However, the media frequently highlight the issue of drinking water contamination. Rarely are precise cause analyses provided in this context. One of the main causes of contaminated drinking water lies in the water supply systems. These systems are maintained and serviced by the water supplier with considerable time and money. If there are still quality issues in drinking water, the cause is often found elsewhere. Poor drinking water quality is not automatically attributed to the supplier. Contamination often occurs within private pipelines. This means the water quality is no longer the supplier's responsibility. The direct water supply to the apartment or house is the owner's responsibility. This responsibility requires the owner to ensure the safety and quality of their drinking water, leading to a need for action.

Water Analyses – The Path to Safety

To be sure, one can analyze their water. A water analysis clearly shows the quality of one's water, whether it concerns the family's well-being or that of tenants. Analyzing tap water quickly and easily reveals if there is contamination by pollutants or general water pollution. The best-suited analysis method is determined by an analysis finder (e.g., our analysis finder). This analysis finder operates based on an inquiry of occurrences. Data evaluation leads to a product recommendation for a water analysis test.

Once the optimal form of water analysis is determined, the test can be carried out easily. Ideally, a test kit assists in simple water sampling. The water sample is sent to the provider's responsible test laboratory, where experts examine it. A detailed analysis report helps understand the results, from which action recommendations can be derived. These recommendations help improve water quality.

A water analysis brings clarity on water quality. The call to purchase, analyze, and secure covers three important action recommendations. These recommendations apply to everyone who cares about the safety of their family and environment.
