Japanese companies can now provide a reliable source of safe drinking water for their employees’ families.

With radiation levels rising in Japanese drinking water, companies are now looking to Pure Water distillers to provide a reliable source of safe drinking water for their employees’ families.

The concern is due to high levels of radioactive iodine-131 that have been found in drinking water supplies in parts of Tokyo and surrounding areas. The Japanese government has said that infants and children should not consume the contaminated tap water because they are particularly vulnerable to radioactive iodine, which can cause thyroid cancer.

Government officials said that adults don’t need to worry at this time, but many people aren’t taking any chances. The situation in Tokyo may in fact be more serious than has been disclosed. In an interview with the New York Times, an executive who wished to remain anonymous said, “The contamination levels are well beyond what you’d expect from what is in the public domain. There is no way that stored fuel did not burn in a very significant way.”

To assist these companies, Pure & Secure is offering an advanced water distiller and bottle-filling system that allows companies to produce pure bottled water for their employees’ families. Pure Water brand distillers provide broad-spectrum protection from biological contaminants, toxic metals, organic compounds and radioactive contaminants in water, which is why many US Embassies around the world have relied on Pure Water distillers to protect their staff from harsh water conditions and potential terror threats.

Purifying Water

The common response to water emergencies is to boil the water. But boiling is not enough. Prolonged boiling of water kills biological contaminants, but it doesn’t clean the water.  When you boil water, the pure water leaves as steam, so the heavy metals, radioactive metals and petroleum-based chemicals actually become more concentrated.

Filters and reverse osmosis systems may be better than nothing, but they can’t offer protection against the full spectrum of possible contaminants. Filters don’t kill biological contaminants and in fact they can become breeding grounds for bacteria, which could result in you drinking worse quality water than if you didn’t have the filter in the first place. In addition, some filters and membranes can be instantly ruined by some chemicals.

The Pure Water Emergency Response System uses a number of different technologies with distillation as the core process. Distillation is significantly different from filtration and reverse osmosis because it uses a phase-change process, which means it turns liquid water into steam. Here’s how our systems* work…

1)      Tap water first flows through a water softener. The water softener ensures that the boiling tank in the distiller will remain clean and free of contaminant build-up.

2)      The softened water is then boiled for a prolonged period. This boiling kills biological contaminants, while converting liquid water into water vapor (steam). As soon as liquid water turns into steam it let’s go of whatever contaminants that it’s holding onto.

3)      The steam rises and the toxic metals and radioactive contaminants are left behind in the boiling tank, which is automatically drained away. An air gap ensures that the raw water (your tap water) never comes in contact with the pure water.

4)      The pure steam is separated and cooled down into liquid water again, which is now pure, distilled water. This distilled water is stored in a high-quality storage tank (which has been sterilized).

5)      After the water has been distilled, it flows through a carbon filter to remove any other gasses. From here, the pure, distilled water is pumped to the dispenser.
