5 Factors You Need To Consider Before Purchasing A Water Filtering System

Wazzup Pilipinas!

When it comes to buying water filtration machines, you need to be extra careful not get something that you really do not need or end up buying one that that does not meet your standards. There should be a purpose attached to whatever machine you intend to buy. Invest in something that will bring value to you for a period of time. Do not spend carelessly. Instead, come up with workable plan for you. Here are the factors you need to consider before buying a water filtering machine.

Storage capacity 
If you have a big family, you will need to consider buying a bigger water filtering machine because the number of people using it will be high. Same strategy can be used in an office setting where you are likely to have visitors. You should buy one that will accommodate the needs of everyone. Water filtering machines come in different sizes depending on your needs. Get one that will serve everyone in your household to be on the safe side. Check with the aquaoxfilters.com on the best storage capacity you need.

Quality of water
It is a good practice to know the source of water. If your water is from the municipality, kindly get the right information on where it is pumped from. This will help you know how safe the water is and the kind of contaminants you are likely to have. This is crucial because bacteria differ from each other and are normally identified depending on the source. You should get a good water filter that will keep you safe from all the germs that are present in your locality.

Maintenance
Machines are usually delicate and need a high level of maintenance. Before buying a water filtering machine, you need to know the methods used to maintain it, the kind of equipment used to clean it, and how it needs to be handled. Water filtration machines are delicate and expensive, and you would not want to lose your dollars due to neglect or lack of information on how it should be handled. Go for one that is within your level in term of maintenance. This is a crucial factor that should be on top of your list.

Design
Most of these water filtering machines come in different designs and with different capabilities. You need to consider one that will suit your needs perfectly well since the one that can be used in an office setting may not meet your household needs if it is to be transferred and vice versa. You need to be super keen and select the best. You can consult an expert who will guide and explain everything to you.

Pressure
Pressure, sometimes referred to as flow rate, should be another factor you should not ignore. Water filtering machines differ in terms of water flow capacity. This comes in handy when it is in use. It also affects the purification rate. You should check the capacity of water it can hold. Only then will you be in a position to tell the kind of water purifying machine you need.

You can get recommendations from friends and family members. However, the above factors should be enough to guide you through. Provide your family with clean filtered water that is safe for drinking.

Defining Filipino in Development: Empowering Young Leaders in the Philippine Intercultural Youth Convention 2018

Wazzup Pilipinas!

In addressing the country’s most pressing issues – peace and conflict, indigenous rights, quality education, federalism, among others – comes a crossroad for building the Philippines’ path towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. It is in this crucial time that youth leaders should play a key role in defining what it means to be a ‘Filipino,’ and more importantly, how the youth could contribute in this definition.

Sigaw ng Kabataan Coalition together with the Rotary Satellite Club of Fort BGC Titans, and many other Rotary Clubs and partner agencies, will provide an active venue for the youth’s exchanges on these issues through the Philippine Intercultural Youth Convention (PIYC) 2018, with the theme “Breaking Cultural Barriers, Empowering Young Leaders,” on 22-23 September 2018 in Quezon City.

PIYC 2018 aims to provide the Philippine Cultural experience through segments such as the Cultural Festival, an exhibition of cultures, a cultural networking night, and many other cultural presentations. At the same time, PIYC 2018 also creates a platform for exchanges between the youth and the Philippine government leaders on developmental issues that not only concern the country, but also the generation’s future through the Sustainable Development Goals.

Gathering youth leaders from different parts of the Philippines, the conduct of PIYC 2018 will provide young people to personally learn and appreciate the different tribes and ethnolinguistic groups in the Philippines, while providing a dynamic platform for Filipino youth leaders to engage and discuss valuable solutions to the country’s issues. The themes of breakout sessions for this discussion are divided in line with the SDGs – Peace in Diversity: Youth as catalyst for peace; Health and Social Welfare: Healthy youth for a healthy tomorrow; Quality and Accessible Education for all: Education as a powerful tool for the youth’s future; Climate & Environmental Action: Greener Pasture in the Philippines; Poverty Reduction & Access to Adequate Food: Hungry for change; Decent Jobs and Sustainable Livelihood: What awaits for young people in the world of work?

With culture and sustainable development at the center of discussion, PIYC 2018 unifies the Filipino youth to define its role in building a better future while being rooted in Philippine heritage. #PIYC2018
