Due to rainy season, the drinking water provided to us is muddy.?

Question

Though I boil the water for drinking purpose, it is very difficult to use the water for cooking purpose. I have purchased alum. How to use it. I have put the alum in the drinking pot once but does not seems it has cleared the colour of the water. please help.

Answer 1

First boil the water up to bubbles come to bottom of the vessel then filter the water in water filter u will get a pure & healthy water.

Answer 2

Just keeping the alum in drinking water doesn't work, but you have to hold it in your hand & stir well in the water & remove the alum. Leave the mud to settle down for sometime & then you can use it without disturbing the mud at the bottom.

pkn

Answer 3

use ro with uv water purifier !

Answer 4

first boil the water for 20minutes(not heating).then allow it to cool for a day.most sediments will deposit at the bottom .without shaking the vessel pour the water to another .most of the dirt will be cleared by this way.

Answer 5

You may also be able to use a distillation process.  Distillation is an effective process and, what's more important, it can be done with a lot of improvisation.  You can heat water with whatever is at hand: fire, electricity, or whatever.  You can use almost anything that holds water for a boiler, as long as you can direct the steam into a cooler.  A cooler can be a long piece of copper tubing bent into a spiral.  All you need is something that will just cool the steam down. In a worst case scenario, you can distill water with an ordinary household pot and two pot lids. Boil water in a pot covered with the first lid.  After a while, you'll see that the water in the pot vaporizes, and condenses on the lid (this is distilled water). Now replace the lid with the second lid, and turn the first one vertically, so that all condensed water collects at one point, and then pour it into a cup. Meanwhile, more distilled water condenses on the second pot lid, so just repeat the above steps again... until you have a full cup.

The process is relatively simple:

a) the dirty water is heated

b) to the boiling point and thus vaporizes

c) (becomes steam), while other substances remain in solid state, in boiler. Steam is then directed into a cooler

d) where it cools down and returns to liquid water

e) and the end result is a water, purified of additional substances found in it before distillation.

I hope that helps. Good luck!
