Access to clean water is one of the most basic human rights; However, reinforced concrete and plastic water tanks, which are widely used in apartments, schools, hospitals and workplaces, threaten human health. So what needs to be done to access healthy and safe water in living spaces?
Water, which is our source of life, threatens our health when not preserved in the right environmental conditions. According to the statements made by the World Health Organization, dirty drinking water; increases the risk of transmission of diseases such as dysentery, cholera and typhoid. About 2 million people in the world die every year due to water-borne diseases.
Reinforced concrete and plastic water tanks, which are widely used in apartments, schools, hospitals and workplaces, are among the factors that threaten human health. So, can we protect our health by not drinking the dirty water flowing from the taps in living spaces? Authorities explain that this measure to be taken is not sufficient; because water; It also affects our health through showering, hand and face cleaning, the vegetables and fruits we wash, the tea we brew and the food we cook!
Causes diseases such as typhoid and cholera
Osman Yağız, Chairman of Ekomaxi Board of Directors, stated that the reinforced concrete and plastic water tanks, which are widely used in our country, are affected by the external conditions in extreme hot and extreme cold and spoil the chemical structure of the water. He explained that it causes infectious diseases such as typhoid, cholera, jaundice, hepatitis:
“It can also disrupt the washing machine, dishwasher and booster systems”
“Over time, in plastic and reinforced concrete water tanks that are not resistant to UV rays and are affected by sun damage and humidity; rust, algae and bacteria can form. Bacteria that disrupt the chemistry of water threaten human health. Dirty water at the same time; It can also break the washing machine, dishwasher and booster systems.
“It can cause decay in the foundation of the building”
In our country, 90 percent of the water tanks used in buildings are located in the basement of the buildings. The water we use is stored in concrete tanks or other inappropriate storage methods. Due to settlements and cracks in concrete warehouses, water may leak from the warehouse to the foundation of the building, causing deterioration in the foundation and deterioration of the building's statics. Especially in a possible earthquake, these deteriorations and cracks can pose a serious problem for the foundation of the building. For this reason, it is vital to replace plastic or reinforced concrete water tanks with GRP (Glass fiber reinforced composite water tanks), which is preferred by societies that care about human health and building statics, both for the safety of buildings and for human health.
In order to prevent the negative effects of unsuitable water tanks, investors, construction companies and building managers; Explaining that they are heading to GRP water tanks, Osman YAĞIZ continued his words as follows:
“We play an important role in maintaining the quality of water”
“As Ekomaxi, we play an important role in preserving the quality of both the structure and the stored water with the GRP Composite Modular Water Tank technology, which we have produced in Turkey with a technology transfer from South Korea, which is close to one hundred percent local. We produce GRP Water Tank technology with SMC or Glass Fiber Reinforced Composite material known as high engineering material. GRP water tanks, which have a very high strength and insulation coefficient, are not affected by extreme hot and extremely cold outdoor conditions, so there is no change or deterioration in the drinking quality of the stored water. In addition, since the permeability of UV rays is close to zero due to the smooth surface structure and glass fiber content of GRP tank panels; It prevents the formation of algae, fungi and bacteria.
Protection at international standards
As Ekomaxi, we are one of the few companies that produce in accordance with international standards. We certify and prove that we maintain the quality of water with international standards, with the quality certificate we have been awarded by WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme), the most important quality management institution that determines the measurement and control standards of drinking water quality in the world.
