The Importance of Water Filtration

WHY SHOULD YOU FILTER YOUR WATER?

The organisms that live in water are generally not beverage-spoilage organisms as most are killed in the presence of at least 1% alcohol. However, water is a fantastic solvent, and it can contain many other notable impurities including:

  • Minerals leading to hard water and buildup (Ca, Mg)

  • Heavy metal ions that cause off-flavors, buildup, and corrosion or are not safe for human consumption in high quantities (Fe, Mn, Al)

  • Taint precursors (Cl, Fl, Br)

  • Other organic solids that contribute to turbidity (Silica)

WHEN IS FILTERED WATER IMPORTANT?

When cleaning and sanitizing equipment/any surface area that comes into contact with your product. Water impurities can cause scale on equipment, which can be hiding places for biofilms. Water impurities may also interfere with the efficacy of your cleaners.

When preparing depth and bottling filters as organic solids and minerals will prematurely foul filter media (including crossflows).

When preparing additions like yeast, nutrients, bentonite or anything that will be added to the beverage to avoid adding taint precursors. Some water impurities may lower the efficacy of some products: e.g., sodium bentonites will not swell in hard water.

When water is the main ingredient in your formulation such as beer, hard seltzer, kombucha, mead, etc. All the above-mentioned problems will be exacerbated.
