How to purify tap water simply without a filter and freezing
The issue of the need to purify tap water is becoming increasingly relevant. A well-known method is that installing a special filter requires material costs. And freezing is too troublesome. I suggest you get acquainted with the simple and effective methods that I use myself.
How do I purify tap water?
In search of a budget-friendly and easy-to-follow method, I tried a few of them. I suggest that you familiarize yourself with them in order to use improved quality water, and not a mineral-chemical cocktail that comes to us from water pipes.
The first method is standing
By settling tap water, you can clean it of chlorine and volatile impurities. The whole procedure is quite lengthy, but I am satisfied with it because this way you can get a fairly large volume of clean water. I use it when I'm canning.
The essence of the method is as follows:
- I fill a bucket or large enamel pan with the amount of water that will be needed for compotes or other preparations for the winter.
- I leave it on for at least 12 hours. This is how long it takes for volatile substances and chlorine to evaporate.
- To ensure that harmful compounds evaporate faster, I make sure to stir the water periodically.
Important! Since in water purified in this way, salts and heavy metals settle to the bottom, I stop stirring for the last hour and a half before the end of the procedure.
Another important point.To get rid of heavy metals that have settled to the bottom, I carefully pour 2/3 of the settled water into another container. This part of the water is suitable for use, but the sediment will have to be poured out.
Activated carbon cleansing
I turned to the use of activated carbon after learning about its unique ability to eliminate unpleasant chlorine odors, as well as absorb harmful impurities and toxins. In addition, I liked the simplicity of the water purification procedure.
Here's how I do it:
- I place several pharmaceutical tablets in a gauze bag. Component ratio: 1 tablet per 1000 ml of water.
- I immerse the bag in water for 6 – 7 hours.
- After that, having removed the tablets, I use clean water for my pleasure.
By the way, I would like to note that it is activated carbon that is used in household filters for water purification. That's why I trust this method.
Use of silver
Water has been purified with silver since ancient times. That's why I adopted it too. The method is so simple that there is nothing to talk about for a long time. Still, I’ll remind you how to properly clean tap water:
All you need to do is take any silver item and put it in a container with water from the tap for 5 - 6 hours.
I'm delighted with this method. After all, in addition to purifying water from impurities and toxins, silver makes water soft. It also destroys bacteria contained in water.
In addition, I read from reliable sources that drinking water purified with silver strengthens the immune system, improves the functioning of the digestive system, and has a positive effect on the skin and hair.
Recipe from a neighbor
My neighbor found this amazing recipe on the Internet and shared it with me. I tried it. This is just a miracle. I want to share with you.
It turns out that there are minerals such as silicon and shungite.These are magic stones that can be called tap water cleaners.
Here's what to do:
- First of all, buy pebbles. They are sold at the pharmacy. All you need is a small pebble weighing up to 10 g.
- I bought silicon.
- Of course, the stone must be washed under running water.
- Place it in a bowl of water. To clean 1 liter, 5 g of silicon is enough.
- Cover the jar with two layers of gauze and leave for 3 days in a place where the sun's rays do not penetrate. But it shouldn't be completely dark.
- After 3 days, pour the water into another container. But don’t use a third of the volume - it contains harmful impurities and salts.
- Rinse the pebble well, clean it with a brush and can be used many more times.
Water purified by silicon is beneficial for the immune and circulatory systems. It also rejuvenates the body.
I also want to try purifying water with shungite. And you can use it according to the method described above.
Both stones absorb chlorine, phenol and acetone and have a detrimental effect on pathogens and bacteria. This helps to improve the health of the whole body.
That's all I wanted to tell you about purifying water. I hope you will use my recipes and be able to choose the one that suits you best. This way you can make tap water not just tasty, but also very healthy.
