Proper hydration of the body is an important preventive health measure, especially in summer. Sparkling water undoubtedly refreshes and effectively quenches thirst. If we are not in favor of buying mineral water in disposable plastic bottles, and we like the distinctive aftertaste of a drink with bubbles, we can make carbonated water at home. This will not only be pleasant, but also a healthy alternative to sugary drinks.
Carbonated water
Benefits of drinking carbonated water
Bubbly water is very effective in quenching thirst, especially after a lot of exercise. It is quickly absorbed, which makes you feel better. It is therefore recommended mainly to active people.
Its consumption, contrary to appearances, has many advantages. For example, it has a beneficial effect on the digestive process, making it easier to get rid of constipation and indigestion. It also contains valuable elements such as sodium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus, supporting the functioning of the skeletal system, and cleanses the body of toxins. It also brings relief to those suffering from stomach hyperacidity. Of course, when we reach for such water in moderation.
After all, too much can irritate the mucous membranes of the digestive tract and stomach, or simply lead to discomfort. Remember that it is also not advisable for people suffering from stomach erosions and ulcers, heartburn, bloating and high blood pressure.

Homemade carbonated water
The environmentally unfriendly production of plastic bottles, prompts people to make their own carbonated beverage at home. Water straight from the tap should not be feared. It is regularly tested and purified, so we can drink it even in an unboiled version. We can also subject it to home filtration.

A water saturator will help us in the carbonation process. Today it is a small-sized equipment that saturates the water thanks to a built-in carbon dioxide cartridge. Operation of the device is very simple, so we can quickly saturate not only pure water, but also, for example, refreshing lemonade.
The efficiency of the equipment depends on the parameters and size of the cartridges. Usually one cartridge allows us to gas about 60-80 liters of water. Saturators somewhat resemble coffee makers. Some have a neutral appearance, others are designer models, tailor-made for the most modern interiors. Also common is the option to adjust the intensity of carbonation. So if the saturator is to serve many people in parallel, this will be an important consideration. In addition, there are also handier models that come in the form of a bottle into which aCO2 cartridge is inserted.

Water cooling and gassing systems integrated into the kitchen faucet are also an increasingly popular option. The container with the carbon dioxide and cooling cartridge is compact enough to fit easily into the cabinet under the sink. Only the panel that controls the degree of gas saturation of the water is external. A tap with a water gassing option is an investment that will certainly be beneficial for our wallet, but most importantly for the cleanliness of the environment.
