| Question: What makes Purity unique? |
| Answer: Purity is the first filter-free kettle to remove volatile substances such as chlorine, by-products of chlorination (trihalomethanes), radon, hydrogen sulphide etc. that could exist in our water. Purity also improves the taste and odour of the water. Purity does not use a filter that needs to be changed. This makes Purity completely maintenance-free. |

| Question: What are the by-products of chlorination? |
| Answer: Water pipes contain organic matter, e.g. algae that grow in the pipes. When chlorine encounters such organic matter it reacts by forming trihalomethanes (by-products of chlorination). Trihalomethanes are thought to be carcinogenic. The trihalomethanes we refer to in the testresults (reduced by more than 95 % with Purity) are: Chloroform, Bromoform, Bromodichloromethane and Dibromochloromethane. |

| Question: Our water is rich in lime, does Purity remove the lime? |
| Answer: No, Purity only removes volatile substances such as chlorine and radon. Lime is a mineral that cannot be removed completely. However, boiling causes some lime, present as temporary hardness to solidify. Read more on this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_water#Temporary_hardness |

| Question: When I‘ve boiled water, I see small particles floating around, what could they be? |
| Answer: Your water is probably rich in lime. The lime is released during boiling. It is not harmful and the lime filter in the spout should capture it. Read more about this subject in Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_water#Temporary_hardness |
