Once upon a time, people discovered that water purifiers help take bad water and make it clean and safe to drink. Water that is clean is really important, as we need it for our bodies to be healthy. At Aquatal, we understand that many people find it difficult to purchase a water purifier, and so here’s a few simple ways you can make your own right in the comfort of your home!
There are lots of ways to clean water at home with stuff you may already have. One method is boiling water on the stove. That helps kill germs and bacteria that we can get sick from. Another is to employ a hand-made filter of sand, gravel and charcoal. This is one way to remove dirt and other yucky things from the water.
You may consider it safe to drink if you have tap water at home. But tap water may contain things we don’t want to drink. You can remove impurities from tap water using a homemade filter. You can accomplish this by lining up items such as cotton, sand and coffee filters inside a plastic bottle. Pour tap water in one side of the filter, and it will be cleaner on the other side.
At times, we are not even blessed with drinkable water, especially when we are out or at the time of emergencies. Homemade Ways to Purify Water In such cases we can purify water at home. One way is to use sunlight. Fill a clear plastic bottle with water and let it sit in the sun for a few hours. The sun’s uv rays will kill germs in the water, purifying and filtering it so it is safe for you to drink.
A water purifier can be expensive to buy, and the filters must be replaced frequently, creating waste. Making your own water purification system can save you money and save the planet. One way to do this is to distill the water yourself using a DIY water distiller. You can boil water in a thing and then collect the steam in another thing. That helps filter out things you don’t want in the water, so you have nice water to drink.
Staying healthy depends on having access to clean water. You can never go wrong from a homemade purifier that lets us be sure that what we’re drinking is safe and nothing in it can harm us. Using some basic materials — charcoal, sand and gravel — we can make our own water purifiers. This is not only beneficial to our health but also teaches us to care for our surroundings.
