現地の生水を飲んだ後、気持ちが悪くなりました。助けを求めよう。

You don't look well at all. Are you okay?

I'm okay. I guess your country has a different water supply system from Japan, doesn't it?
In my area, there is a purification plant that processes our tap-water. It chlorinates the water, which is not so bad for the body, though with chlorination of very dirty water, trihalomethane is produced, though this seldom happens. This substance can cause cancer. We are not supposed to consume a large amount of trihalomethane. I use a water purifier to filter this substance for my drinking water for my health. Even so, the device contains an antibacterial agent that is a one of allergen.

1. The definite article may be unnecessary in this context.
Oh, I see! It is a very good thing that you take care of yourself and pay attention to your health! I am sure this water made you feel sick and I would suggest you to buy bottled water in the future.

OK!
The device is a small box with a cartridge for filtering and is connected to the tap. It can produce H2O in water. After a time, I need to replace the cartridge. There is a long nozzle from the box, but I don't have a nozzle cleaning device. But I often see a scale on the nozzle. I feel so sad when I thought that I was drinking purified water, but I am not.

1. Avoid starting your sentences with ''but'', ''and'', ''so''...
2. This is a more natural way of saying it.
This might be interesting for me, too! Can you tell me where you bought this box with a cartridge? I think I will try it instead of buying bottles of water almost every day.

You can buy it online or in electronics stores.
