Egypt using a Reverse osmosis filter system for drinking water.

I have from time to time searched for information on the quality of potable water within Egypt.the areas covered in this linked report feeds the water supply where i live currently.

I have always used the local water boiled for coffee,tea and any other type of drink which requires refrigeration for storage. We also use the water for cooking.

We have always used bottled water for our daily drinking habits.

If anybody has any related current reports or information on the water quality within Egypt it would be appreciated if you add it to this thread with a link back to the source.

The report above also suggest using a point of use filtration system and then still boiling the water prior to use.

We normally use a large counter top type electric water boiler which is kept full of water that has been boiled at least one time prior to use in our daily cooking.

We recently installed a under counter model reverses osmosis filter system with five stages along with a storage tank.The unit automatically cleans the filters on a regular cycle which is pre programed into the small system and discharges the backwashed solution into the buildings drain system.The unit produces on average seventy five gallons a day of cleaned water or 12 liters per hour on a continuous basis. I'm happy to say the water taste quite like aquafina which is one of the popular local brands.

based on our family of four and our related past purchasing level for bottled water we will recover the cost of the system in under a one year period.

It took some effort to locate and contact the company we purchased our filter system from.Like many of the company's here that have web sites, the email links were found to be none functioning for two of the three firms we contacted and the third firms worked but they were none responsive to our initial attempt at contacting them via email in English.

I find this habit a bit bothersome,why build a web site for advertisement,sales,brand or company promotion with a link for use while contacting the firm. if you fail to respond to enquirers.

My luck with using the land lines was just a little better, i did manage to contact two of the the three firms and made a little head way speaking in English.In the end we used the mobile phone numbers and contacted them again using Arabic all three were quick to answer our questions.

Carrefor sales and assortment of cheap filters for in-line and counter top use. none of which can filter,clean and store water in a sufficient amount that we use as a family on an hourly or daily basis.

This product area is currently under study we will most likely enter the residential sector for this consumer product line.which is really needed within Egypt at a fair consumer price range.


I will list/link to some of the recent study which are available on-line and relate directly to the quality of available waters within Egypt.
