How to purify your water

What is the best way you think to make your water clean? You may think that boiling is pretty much enough to kill all the bacteria. Well, you could just boil the water but this wouldn’t get the sand and other particles out of the water. So the best way purify your water is to use a filter. It gets the particles, dirt and some of other “unseen” chemicals out of your water.

You can try homemade a simple water filter.  Use an empty bottle and turn the bottle upside down (with the cap down down). Then fill in the bottle with the materials in this order:

– pebbles
– Sand
– a piece of cloth or bandages
– charcoal
– a piece of cloth or bandages
– Sand
– pebbles

The cloth or bandages are used to ensure that all the different materials will not mix. The pebbels and sand filter the particles and the dirt out of the water. The charcoal plays a great role in getting the chemicals out of the water. The best charcoal for pollutant adsorption is those made from coconut shells. This filter will not remove any viruses and bacteria from the water so you have to boil the water after it is filtered.

However, the homemade filter has very limited functions and effectiveness when it comes to the whole household water treatment system.  It is more for experimental purposes and has no much practical significance. So always find yourself a reliable water filter supplier for your domestic water facilities.
