THERE ARE MANY SECRETS IN BREWING THE PERFECT BOTTLE OF BEER—AND ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT IS THE

QUALITY OF THE WATER USEDTO MAKE IT

HIGH PURITY WATER IS CRITICAL TO HEALTHCARE APPLICATIONS FROM CLINICAL DIAGNOSTICS & STERILE PROCESSING TO

OVERALL FACILITY MANAGEMENT

IT’S HARD TO IMAGINE THAT ULTRAPURE WATER IS USED TO MANUFACTURE THE MICROCHIPS INSIDE ALL YOUR DIGITAL

DEVICES…AND LOTS OF IT

Desired levels of these minerals can vary depending on the type of beer brewed—and their natural occurrence in water can vary depending on the water source, making it important for brewers to have water treatment options to ensure the water quality they need.

Breweries and wineries don’t just rely on water for producing their delicious beverages, but need hot water for cleaning and sanitizing their equipment. That water needs to be at least 175 degrees in order to properly sanitize their equipment.15

The U.S. exports $44 billion of semiconductors every year, making it the 4th largest manufacturing industry in the U.S.16

Water is mainly used to clean and rinse microchips after each stage of manufacturing. 17

Manufacturing microelectronic devices requires ultrapure water:nothing but water molecules 18

Showering before swimming:

Helps prevent waterborne illnesses 23

Reduces the chemical odor when chlorine combines with personal care products 23

Can reduce chloramines, which cause eye, skin, and respiratory irritation 24

95% of the public believe their behavior is important to maintaining a healthy pool

...but only 32% shower before swimming 22

Water plays a critical role in every aspect of our lives—not just those we can see. On World Water Day, we acknowledge the role water plays in keeping business and industry moving forward. Every day, Evoqua's mission is to transform water and enrich life by protecting the world's most valuable resource.

The Unsung Hero of Our Daily Lives

When most people think of clean water, they think of hot showers, loads of laundry, running the dishwasher: water they can see and feel. But much more of our daily

lives—and the economy—relies on clean, accessible water.

EVOQUA HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE & IMPACT CLEAN WATER HAS ON OUR DAILY LIFE.
