Summer Health Tips: Most of the diseases in the summer season are related to water. People adopt different methods to clean and purify the water. But there are some germs present in the water, which do not get removed easily and work to harm the body. For example, suppose you want to filter or clean the water with alum, but it cannot completely eliminate germs from the water. Nowadays, filters are being used to clean the water in homes. There are some houses where filters are not used. In such a situation, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has shared some methods to clean the water, with the help of which you can make the water absolutely pure and drinkable. Let’s know…
boil water before drinking
We have been hearing this since childhood that water should be boiled and consumed. This is considered the best way to purify water. That’s why water should always be drunk after cooling it after boiling. According to the CDC, boiled water should never be stored in a plastic bottle. Boiled water should always be kept in glass, steel, copper, earthen pot or bottle.
clean water with disinfectant
Water cleaning bleach and tablets are also used to clean the water. It is often used for cleaning water tanks and ponds. The edible chemicals found in these are safe for the body. Caution should be taken while using water cleaning bleach in homes.
portable filter
To clean the water, if you are not able to install RO in the house, then you can install a portable filter. It is more economical and better than filtering water with alum. According to the CDC, portable filters should always be purchased with smaller pore sizes. This helps in removing parasites. You should choose a portable filter according to the water supply in the place where you live. After using portable filter, you can also use disinfectant.
UV light
Nowadays many types of filters have come to clean the water. These days UV light water purifiers are also coming in the market. They purify water with the help of ultraviolet rays. There are many portable units that use UV lights to purify water and kill germs.
solar disinfectant
