OZAMIZ CITY: A resident from Pingol St., this city has complained of having purchased a five gallon of purified water from Agua Vida with "something floating inside."
In an interview with DXOC-AM, Armi Bacaya said that he noticed something like a white moss inside the five gallon of bottled water delivered to him from the said water purifying store.
A purified water, according to the Essortment website, undergoes filtration or mechanical process in order to remove contaminants and minerals.
Dirty and unreliable water system in the city has households opting for
drinking water purification systems.
The likes of Aqua Vida, however, have not shown assurance that they included a reverse osmosis step, a procedure commonly used for improving water.
Wikipedia defines Reverse osmosis is a separation process that uses pressure to force a solvent through a membrane that retains the solute on one side and allows the pure solvent to pass to the other side.
"More formally, it is the process of forcing a solvent from a region of high solute concentration through a membrane to a region of low solute concentration by applying a pressure in excess of the osmotic pressure."
When called by Misamis Probe on the possibility of negligence in handling their water purification procedures, a certain Shiela Iligan only said that their company wouldn't issue any comment for the moment.
"We are still investigating the issue, sir," was her only reply.
Around Ozamiz City, the water purifying company is said to have 1,000 customers consuming an average of 2-3 five galon containers a week.
Like Bacaya, who claimed his family had been buying and drinking purified water from Agua Vida for ten years already, a visible water moss inside a sealed container is not an excuse.
"Karon pa mi kakita ani. Daghan ang maaapektuhan ani," he said.
Jovencio Godoy Jr., DXOC anchorman who interviewed Bacaya in his program "Pulso sa 1494," likewise commented: "This could possibly happen. Agua Vida should look into this sa katuyuan nga masubay ug mahatagan ug kasulbaran ning hitaboa ."
