Many urban people are accustomed to drinking water directly from the tap, without thinking that the content of a huge amount of all kinds of chemical compounds in it can adversely affect the state of their body. The quality of tap water is especially poor in large cities. Some people who care about their health and the health of their loved ones install special filters in their apartments to purify water. Although it is possible to make clean water at home without the help of expensive equipment.
Instructions
Step 1
Silver has excellent bactericidal properties. To purify water with this common metal, pour it into a large container, such as a saucepan or jar. Next, any silver object should be dipped into the water. Most often, silver spoons and forks are used to purify water at home. For a day, silver ions are able to purify water no worse than even the most modern and high-quality filter.
Step 2
Activated carbon is widely used by manufacturers of water filters. And this circumstance gives reason to believe that such a widespread medical product as activated carbon, which is in every family's home medicine cabinet, is really effective in water purification. It is not difficult to use activated carbon to purify water. To do this, five tablets should be wrapped in gauze or cotton wool and placed on the bottom of a vessel filled with water. Twelve hours is enough to clean water with activated charcoal.
Step 3
You can also make clean water by freezing it. Fill a plastic bottle with regular tap water and put it in the freezer. You need to take out the bottle only when the water in it turns into ice. Opaque areas of ice indicate that they contain a fairly high concentration of various harmful substances and impurities. Such places should be chipped off the main piece of ice. The remaining transparent ice can be melted and safely eaten.
