As you can see, bacteria and viruses are known carriers of these dreaded diseases. Since bacteria flourish in warm, humid climates, the summer and monsoon months are particularly dangerous in a tropical country like ours.
What’s more alarming is that, since these germs are microscopic, it is impossible to tell whether bacteria and viruses are present in your drinking water.
This hidden threat to the health of your family makes it imperative to ensure that the water you drink is safe and clean.
