WATER TREATMENT METHODS.
Hello lovelies, bet you all had a very nice weekend. This week on health, I'm going to be discussing about how best we can treat our waters, now that it's the case that a greater number of us are staying off campus, and not all water sources out there are very pure for drinking. So, it's important we prevent serious health issue like Typhoid rather than the heart-rending process of trying to cure it. If your water is contaminated and you don’t have bottled water, there are various water purification or treatment methods that are used today. Check it out;
(1) Boiling water is the cheapest and safest method of water purification. Water sources and or channels of distribution may render your water unsafe. For example, parasites and germs are things you may not see with naked eyes, but their effects can be life threatening. In this method, clean water should be brought to boil and left at rolling-boil for 1-3 minutes. With that, you should feel at ease with consuming your water.
(2) Filtration is one of the effective ways of purifying water and when using the right multimedia filters, it’s effective in ridding water of the compounds. Filtration eliminates both large compounds and small, dangerous contaminants that cause diseases. It's a simple process, you can spread a white clean cloth atop a container and pour your water contents into the covered container. Gently remove the cloth and voalla! You're safe, 75% tops.
(3) Distillation is a water purification method that utilizes heat to collect pure water in the form of vapor. Water is subjected to a heat source until it attains its boiling point. It is then left at the boiling point until it vaporizes. This vapor is directed into a condenser to cool. Upon cooling, vapor is reversed into liquid water that is clean and safe for drinking.
(4) Chlorine is a powerful chemical that has been in use for many years to treat water for home consumption. Water can be purified using chlorine tablets or liquid chlorine. When using chlorine tablets, it is important to apply them in heated water, as they dissolve well in water that is at 21 degrees Celsius or higher. Chlorine tablets kill all bacteria leaving your water clean and safe. Be please, before use, confirm how to effectively use this powerful chemical from experts to avoid stories that touch.
:-Note that you can use more than one of these purification methods, just to make sure.
