Is Your Potable Water Safe In Monsoon? Know How To Purify Water At Home

It is indeed an undeniable truth that the monsoon brings a bundle of joy every year with its arrival. But the fact is with such oodles of happiness, it brings a lot of diseases too. And surprisingly, most of them are water-borne diseases. Penguin Tank, the topmost plastic water tank manufacturing brand, would guide you in this matter so that you can be conscious about the purity of drinking water in this upcoming rainy season.

Is your kitchen tap defendable for drinking water during monsoon?

No, most of the time your tap water is not pure when it rains heavily. Water pipelines mostly run below ground. During heavy rain in Monsoon, the subsoil water level ascends up and flows through cracked pipelines. Eventually, the potable water gets polluted and runs through your kitchen tap.

What are the methods of water purification at home?

There are several methods for purifying water at home. Among them some easy methods are-

• Boiling- This is perhaps the most usual and convenient water purifying process that every household prefers to apply. Boil the water over an oven heater at least for seven to ten minutes to kill the contaminants. Remember, the prolonged the water would be boiled, the purer it will be after completing the whole process. When in doubt, boil water before drinking.
• Electric purifier- In this era of technology, you don’t need to worry about purifying the drinking water. Get an electric purifier that eliminates the impurities by its multi-stage technology of filtration and makes the water worthy for drinking blindly.
• Bleaching- Bleaching is another household method that kills pernicious microorganisms and purifies the water with 100% efficiency. Add a mild bleach with 5% chlorine to your water storage tank and wait for the result of this purification.
• Distillation- Distillation is a process that is performed by accumulating the condensed water after vaporization. However, this method is not as effective as the above-mentioned methods and this process of water purification is much time-consuming too.
• Clay vessel filtration- When the technology was not this much developed to get an electric purifier so easily, people used this method to purify water. Clay vessels purify water by blocking the muddy impurities and passing through only the pure water to the next pot. By this process, the water remains cool for a longer time. Hence, still in rural places, people use clay vessels to store drinking water.
• Iodine tablet or liquid- Iodine is very much effective to kill contaminants in water. Iodine is also a chemical component like chlorine. Hence, only an iota of Iodine tablet or liquid should be added to water for the purpose of purification.
