What is Domestic & Potable Water Treatment?
Domestic water refers to the water used in everyday household tasks, such as bathing, laundry, and flushing toilets.
Potable water is water that has been stored and treated to make it safe for human consumption. While drinking is its primary purpose, potable water is also used for cooking, washing dishes, and other daily activities that require clean, safe water.
Domestic and potable water treatment ensures that the water delivered to homes is safe, clean, and reliable. Water treatment removes larger particles, reduces odours, and eliminates potentially harmful substances that could impact health, cause skin irritations, or damage household appliances.
