According to nct.org.uk: "Babies under six months should only drink tap water that has been boiled and cooled down. Water straight from the tap is not sterile so is not suitable for younger babies. Bottled water is not recommended for babies or toddlers as it may contain too much salt or sulphate"
Now, a study published in the journal Microplastics has found that drinking from plastic bottles may increase blood pressure as a result of microplastics entering the bloodstream, according to New York Post.
Water desalination plants could replace expensive chemicals with new carbon cloth electrodes that remove boron from seawater, an important step of turning seawater into safe drinking water.
The culprit is usually hydrogen sulfide gas produced by sulfur-reducing bacteria. It’s common in wells, but it can also occur in plumbing systems or groundwater. These bacteria can get into the water from agricultural runoff, an animal falling into the well and dying, or simply because a well is too shallow.
Calcium and magnesium are the two most common minerals found in hard water. Untreated hard water causes scale buildup within steam applications. Buildup can clog equipment, add to your routine cleaning and maintenance, decrease operational efficiency, corrode equipment, and speed up the need for replacements.
If you’re not using some sort of filtration system, your water likely has total dissolved solids flowing within it. And if that’s the case, all that inorganic and organic matter is also in your coffee and espresso drinks.

Proper maintenance is an important first step. Having your water tested is also very helpful but important to understand that a water sample is only a snapshot of the water quality on that day. The water coming in to your operations is always changing.
