Microplastics

Imagine sipping a glass of water after a day under the Tucson sun, only to discover that your refreshing drink may contain unseen contaminants. Microplastics — tiny plastic particles — have increasingly become a concern in water quality, even in our desert oasis.

As Tucson homeowners, ensuring the purity of our drinking water is not just a choice — it’s a necessity for our health and well-being.

With the unique challenges posed by Tucson’s hard water, AquaZona proudly offers Kinetico water filters and drinking systems as a reliable solution to tackle microplastic contamination. Designed with homeowners in mind, these advanced filtration systems offer peace of mind, knowing that your family’s drinking water is clean, safe and free from harmful contaminants.

Understanding Microplastics

Microplastics are tiny plastic particles less than 5mm in size, originating from various sources. The two classifications are primary and secondary microplastics.

Primary microplastics are directly released into the environment as small particles. Sources include microbeads in personal care products, plastic pellets and resin particles.

Secondary microplastics are formed from the breakdown of larger plastic items. These can come from the fragmentation of larger plastic items, synthetic fibers from clothing and tire wear.

Effects Of Microplastics On Water Quality

The environmental and health implications of this type of pollution are an ongoing study. Their presence in oceans, lakes and waterways has the following impact:

• Disruption of aquatic ecosystems and habitats
• Harm to marine organisms, including fish and seabirds
• Alteration of water chemistry, affecting water quality
• Risks of consuming contaminated seafood and water
• Long-term ecological impacts and challenges

Detecting and measuring microplastics in water is a complex task due to their small size and diverse nature. Various methods, such as filtration, microscopy and spectroscopy, are used, but challenges remain in accurate quantification and monitoring.

Kinetico water filtration systems, including the K5 Drinking Water Systems, are equipped with advanced filtration capabilities to effectively remove microplastics. By combining multi-stage filtration with innovative technology, Kinetico ensures that your water is free from harmful contaminants.

Benefits of investing in a system from AquaZona include:
