    An unserviced Quooker, if my understanding is correct, is nothing more than a water tank filled with limescale. Although this excess buildup may cause a spike in your TDS meter readings, that water remains safe to drink.

    It makes sense, although what concerned me as someone who researched and bought an Osmio under cabinet system then changed to Osmio Zero free-standing unit and only my wife is considering Quooker as water drips into the sink vs an out of sink drip tray is the quality of the cooled filtered water, they use an active carbon filter cartridge however compared to Osmio’s four filters I wonder how Quooker would re mineralize the water or is it pure water. I would like to see the tds test done on a brand new install on boiling, sparking and the cold filtered water to understand better.

      Agreed, should have compared it to kettle boiled water that hasn’t been cleaned in the same time period. Rather than your own new product, ridiculous. That’s how scientists actually conduct experiments, you have to have the variables the same before you spew numbers out of readings....geez

    "not only are they environmentally unfriendly keeping water boiling all the time" -
    Are they really? It's basically a vacuum flask. There is very little energy lost. I have an electric kettle, and I try to only heat what I'll use, but I know people who fill their kettle all the way up, use a cup, keep the kettle on hold, don't come back to it, and all that extra water is now just cooling down, ready to be reheated again. It would have been much better to have it in a super insulated container leaking very little energy, allowing for just the right amount of boiling water.

    As someone considering buying one of these instant hot taps I was very interested to watch your videos on the subject.
    I shall have to do some more research on the subject - I thank you for raising this.
    As an aside - TDS meter readings are sensitive to the temperature of the liquids and it is not appropriate to make readings for comparison purposes unless all fluids are at the same temperature. I would also question whether the meter in question is suitable for use with temperatures nearing 100deg C. Most recommend taking measurements at 25degC which is the international standard. I mention this because it is a massive claim you are making, wholly based upon the readings from a device which is not being used according to good practice.

    • @OsmioWaterH2O
      @OsmioWaterH2O  4 года назад

      The temperature maximum usually on Tds meters is about 80 degrees c, many of them also measure temperature. You can easily test it yourself with anyone who has has instant boiling tap. Just allow the water to cool to room temperature and test the tds then.

    The “mechanism” described here sounds remarkably like electrolysis. Howsoever it may be, in what way are TDS’s dangerous? This aspect of the “mechanism” - be it electrolysis or some other electro-chemical process - has not, in this presentation, been clearly defined. The water in my region is very good quality. We, essentially, can’t really detect any distinct (unpalatable) difference between water direct from the cold tap or that from a filtered water device. It is true I don’t have the TDS data, but in 40 years of drinking and boiling this water we have never needed to descale any boiling device or appliance: they simly do not suffer from build of “deposits” lime, or otherwise.

    I have had the same health concerns concerning these hot-water systems. All it took for me was to use some common sense which led me to search about videos of how the inside of these boilers look. Lot's of videos with huge limescale build-up. What made me even more concerned was that Quooker apparently recommends that the very small filter inside of the boiler needs to be changed only after 6 years or so. That was at least what I learned from watching one of these videos made by users. I thought: how can this be possibly safe?
    OK, to be fair: I don't know what magic they have built into their filter it just says it is active carbon. And apparently, the hot water runs through this filter (Please correct me if I'm wrong on the hot water since I'm not completely sure about this point.)
    I'm not about bashing anyone's products. I would just love to see in general companies not only focus on design, and convenience but also put much more thought into the health aspect of their products. This is true for all sorts of products not just for faucets.
    Question: What type of warm-water system do you use for your home in general (bathing, washing the dishes etc.)? Are there any brands of flow heaters, boilers, etc. that you would recommend in terms of health? What would your personal optimal system look like including filtration? And for what type of water pipes would you settle for your home?
    I would truly appreciate an answer from an expert like you.

    As per the water regulations the amount of TDS thats required in the water to be considered the healthiest is as per below:-
    2000 Worst: A TDS level above 2000 ppm is completely unsafe and household filters can not handle this level of contamination

      Your notion is totally incorrect and probably came from the WHO. You should distinguish between minerals from biological and geological sources. The first challenge is to purify water to the best level, but this involves reducing the good, bad and the ugly. Once the water is in this state then then water is conditioned how we want it to be. The minerals are bioceramics which means they are bonded with carbon to make them bioavailable. Minerals from geological sources are not. Consider hardness of water provided by 120mg of calcium per litre vs the same amount of calcium from an apple. The apple is bonded with amino acids to make it bioavailable. The water from the Osmio Zero is also negative ORP, redox potential. You can research this until the cows come home, but ultimately look at the people who have been drinking distilled or osmotic water for the last 30 years and see for yourself if they are depleted in minerals or just happen to be the healthiest 70 year old you know. Good luck with your research because I can see where you are with it, and you have a long long long way to go 🙏

      Good point! Water boiled in a kettle should have been one of the comparisons.

I’ve had customers ( and children/visitors to those customers) who’ve got confused operating these taps and have got burnt. I’m not saying that no-one should buy these taps, but they should be made aware that if they are very old/vulnerable/children/easily confused are likely to use them think very carefully about purchasing.

      Whatever heats up water ends up in the water. Using a device that keeps water hot all the time and made from stainless steel is the worst thing one can do. The osmio zero uses a rare earth ceramic oxide heating element and these are usually changed within 7 years which heats only on demand and it makes a huge difference. People but tap water into the Osmio Zero and the systems makes the water have a negative orp which is the main reason for corrosion, I. E. Having a positive orp. Measure your tds and orp. You think it's a poor video, but you have alot to learn about water purity and corrosion.

Next step for us is to do a water quality test on these systems, we will do a full potability analysis including also the metals from the stainless steel like chromium and then show the source vs the instant boiling. The EC test simply shows there is something majorly wrong. Perhaps you drink and cook with the hot tap in your kitchen? Most people know not to do that and it normally wouldn't exceed 60 degrees C.
