People need to keep well-hydrated during this summers heatwave by drinking large amounts of kitchen tap water, one expert has suggested. Director of water quality at utilities company South Staffs Water Mike Turrell said that it is important to ensure individuals do not leave it too long before topping up their reserves, Halesowen News reports.He stated Much of the body is made up of water - up to about 70 per cent in fact, so as we lose water through sweating, it is important to replenish it.Those who feel thirsty may even already be slightly dehydrated, Mr Turrell remarked. It is recommended that people keep a bottle with them at all times and regularly refill it with kitchen tap water and for individuals who like their water cold it is advised to fill a large jug with water from the kitchen tap and keep it in the fridge. For those looking to improve the quality of their water, Franke Triflow water filters for their kitchen taps could help, as they are designed to divert water through a purification system.
