🫧 Many times when we put filtered water in the kettle or in a pot to boil, white residues are observed. Does this mean that my water is not clean?

The observation of white residues in the kettle or other utensils after boiling water is a common phenomenon that can cause concern for many. However, it is important to understand what exactly causes these residues and whether it affects the quality of the water we consume.

🧪 What are the white residues?

The white residues you observe after the boiling of your filtered water are the beneficial mineral salts such as calcium and magnesium. These salts are natural components of drinking water and do not indicate contamination or impurity. In fact, these minerals are essential for our health, as they contribute to many biological functions and are useful electrolytes.

💧 Is filtered water from Camelot® safe?

The filtered water from the Camelot® systems is clean and safe for consumption. The white residues after boiling are mineral salts such as calcium and magnesium, which must be present in our drinking water and which should not and are not retained by our systems.

These salts are beneficial and their presence is essential for good health.

For example, calcium is important for the development and maintenance of bones and teeth, while magnesium is involved in many enzymatic reactions and helps in regulating blood sugar levels.

🔥 Why do residues form during boiling?

During the boiling of water, a quantity of it evaporates, and the mineral salts that were dissolved in the water tend to settle at the bottom and on the walls of the kettle or container. This phenomenon is perfectly normal and does not indicate a problem with the quality of your filtered water.

🚱 Cleanliness ≠ Absence of residues

Many people confuse the clarity of water with the absence of any solid residue, but it is important to know that completely deionized water (that is, without any inorganic salts) is dangerous for consumption, as the minerals found in natural water are essential for our health.

🛡️ What do Camelot® filters do?

In addition, the Camelot® filtration systems are designed to retain harmful substances, such as heavy metals, organic compounds, bacteria and microbes, while allowing the passage of essential mineral salts.

In this way, the filtered water they provide is certified clean and safe for consumption, while retaining its nutrients.

🧼 How do I clean the kettle?

If you notice a buildup of white residue in your kettle, you can easily clean it using a solution of vinegar and water. Let the solution sit for a while and then rinse the kettle thoroughly. This cleaning will remove the residue and keep your appliance in good condition.

✅ In conclusion

You do not need to worry about the white residues you notice after boiling the filtered water. The (filtered) water from the Camelot® systems is clean. The white residues are mineral salts such as calcium, magnesium, etc. that should be present in our drinking water and which should not and are not retained by our systems.

Simply during boiling and the partial evaporation that occurs they settle on the bottom and the walls of the kettle or the vessel.
