Why Carbon Filtration?Carbon is a natural adsorption media used to remove harmful chemicals such as chlorine and its carcinogenic by-products. It also helps to improve the taste and smell of water.Not All Are Made EqualThere are two predominant types of carbon filters used in the filtration industry: Solid-block Activated carbon and Granular activated filters (GAC). Solid-block Activated carbon filters are known to be much more effective at removing contaminants due to its larger ratio of surface area that allows a consistent rate of water exposure to maximise adsorption. These filters usually cost slightly more due to the additional manufacturing process to give them a solid block state.Granular activated filters consist of loose granules of carbon that high pressured water can create potential gaps to pass right through without contacting the…

In today’s digital age, more informed people are aware of the value of food nutrition, and have turned to home prepared meals with select choice of healthy ingredients. Easily available online healthy recipes have also made it easy for budding home cooks to prepare healthy meals for their families. However, not many pay emphasis to a crucial component in most prepared meals: WATER. Water is used not only as a main component in stews and soups, but also in the preparation and cleaning of vegetables and other produce. Produce like fruits and vegetables are very absorbent and have the tendency to soak up chemicals such as chlorine during washing via tap water. Tap water contains preservatives like chlorine to maintain its integrity on its way to your home. Such preservatives…

Understanding Each Other in Work Place Due to our growing organisation, all employees recently completed the MBTI test. The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator is a self-report questionnaire designed to indicate psychological preferences in how people perceive the world around them and make decisions. Results are not right or wrong, nor good nor bad. But they encourage the understanding and cooperation of differences. In the ultimate case, our team consists of many different personalities. Perceivers for example are equally important as judges (planners) – foresighted planning ideally is combined with courageous action. Focus on Quality, Not Quantity On a different occasion I was asked what the DNA of our company was. I thought this is an interesting question since it does not primarily aim at our external characteristics but rather on how…

“Millions of Babies Die Each Year Because They Don’t Have Access to Neonatal Care” Invented by Sir Ray Avery from Australia, the revolutionary baby incubators -LifePods provide expert 24/7 hospital care for premature or sick babies. Set to reduce the number of constant repairs and maintenance, the machine runs for 10 years by purifying it’s own air and water, saving up to 500 little lives for a fraction of the price of existing incubators. Swisspro’s CeraSwiss and CeraTech play an important part of the invention. Firstly, it removes bacterial contamination from the potable water, which is used to fill the water reservoir to supply water to the Patented Incubator’s heating and sterilization unit. It allows the hospitals to use potable water instead of sterile distilled water to operate the humidification system.…

In Swisspro, we sell alkaline filters based on a few criteria:     1. Customers suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol.      2.

Alkaline water is the water that’s less acidic than tap water. It has a higher pH level than regular drinking water. Normal drinking water is generally a neutral pH of 7. So if the water…

According to a recent study, cooking with chlorinated/chloraminated water can react with your food and ingredients producing potentially harmful toxins in your food. This is due to the fact when iodized table salt is added to tap water that is chlorinated or chloraminated during the cooking process, it can react and create hypoiodous acid. This acid can potentially react with other foods and organic matter to create iodinated disinfection by-products (I-DBPs) in the form of toxic molecules. Some of these molecules were found to be 50 to 200 times more toxic than others. Studies are still being conducted at this time to determine the full extent of how it affects our health.

Swisspro’s recent participation at the Malaysia Defence Services Asia Expo (left) and Beijing Disaster Prevention Expo 2016 (right): Showcasing water filtration solutions for both fresh and sea water. On top of providing quality and safe filtered water for homes and offices, Swisspro actively participates in providing water filter solutions to other sectors such as Defence, Emergency and NGOs in Asia. Emergency situations such as on-site rescue & assistance depend on reliable equipment to supply safe drinking water – where conventional water sources may have been cut-off or simply out of reach. Numerous ministries of defence such as Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore etc. and JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) have been using the Katadyn Expedition hand-pumped water filter in their support to disasters worldwide for more than 10 years. These hand-pumped…

Water is essential for maintaining good health. Keeping our bodies hydrated reduce risk from increased toxicity in the body, constipation and even organ failure.  It is recommended that our kidneys excrete at least 300ml of waste daily, and that we consume enough fluids to dissolve uric acid & urea and aid expulsion. As we age, our kidney functions start to diminish to some extent, and quite often we lose more fluids from more frequent trips to the toilet; since our bladders don’t hold as well as before.  This increases the need for our elderly to re-hydrate more often to maintain an optimal level of water in the body, so as to prevent pro-longed de-hydration risks and eventually hefty medical bills. Encourage your loved ones to hydrate often and ensure they…
