How to clean the water?

Water is the most unique solvent. It can detect about 70 elements of the periodic system of Mendeleev: the largest number - chlorine, magnesium, sodium, calcium, bromine, carbon, strontium, potassium, boron. According to most scientists, this composition reduces the life expectancy by 10-15 years, so the question of how to clean water at home is very relevant for today, because 60% of all harmful substances enter the body not with anything but with water.

Defending

Even simple sedimentation improves the properties of the liquid and allows cleaning the water with minimal effort. The fact is that tap water, as a rule, is chlorinated to destroy the pathogenic bacteria that are present in the pipes.

Important! Chlorine is such a strong bactericidal substance that even the causative agent of plague can be defeated by it, because it is not in vain that we defend water for aquariums and watering of indoor plants, but for ourselves we do it rarely.

Upon settling, chlorine and ammonia are removed from the water, and the salts and colloidal solutions that are present are deposited on the bottom. If you perform such a procedure, you probably noticed that unpleasant slippery raids and rust appear on the walls and bottom of the dishes, and this we use inside, if we do not clean the water before drinking!

How to clean the water by sedimentation:

1. Carry out the procedure for at least 8 hours( for the first 3-4 hours volatile impurities will evaporate from the water, and in the following hours salt salts of heavy metals will precipitate).
2. Use the dishes without the lid for this procedure.
3. At the end, pour ¾ of the standing water into the clean container for personal use, and the rest to the sewer.

Boiling

Boiling water cleans it not only from pathogens, but also from insoluble calcium salts that are deposited on the walls of the kettle. Boil water should be 10-15 minutes, no less, and we at best bring the liquid to a boil.

Important! The disadvantage of this method is that with prolonged boiling of chlorinated water, chloroform is formed - a known carcinogen causing cancer. In addition, when boiling water reduces its volume, and hence the concentration of salts dissolved in it, including salts of heavy metals, increases. Insoluble salts do not completely remain on the walls of the kettle, and therefore some amount is still present in the water in the form of suspended matter.

It should be taken into account that at a temperature of 100 ° C not all viruses die, therefore, complete purification of water with this method should not be expected.

You can cook on boiled water, but you still need to neutralize it for drinking. To do this, we recommend:

1. Add 5 g of boiled water to 0.5 g of ascorbic acid.
2. Mix well and leave water for 1 hour.
3. Instead of ascorbic acid, you can use fruit juice: dark red, red, or burgundy( add juice until a light pink shade appears, and then leave the solution for 1 hour).

Important! You need to add natural juice, and not a substitute from the packages, then you really get to clean the water.

Freezing

An excellent way of how to purify water from iron and get rid of heavy metal salts is to freeze it. After defrosting, a lot of energy will be released from the water, which can saturate the tissues and cells of the body. The main thing is to carry out this procedure correctly:

1. Take any suitable utensils( not a bottle, not a glass jar, but preferably a transparent one).
2. Fill the container with water, not reaching 1-2 cm to the edge( with freezing, the volume of water increases).
3. Place the container in a freezer or frost for several hours.
4. Once the water freezes to half, make a hole in the ice and drain the remaining water( freezing point of pure water 0 C, and salt solutions - much lower, so in the not frozen water and salt will remain).
5. The remaining ice melt and use for cooking and drinking.

Important! It is impossible to use frozen water constantly, since a certain amount of salts is necessary for a person. If you use "live" water, then add a little salt to it.

The way to freeze, of course, is far from perfect, but nevertheless it is accessible and simple. Fresh water obtained from snow and ice has unique therapeutic and prophylactic properties:

1. With its use, regenerative processes are accelerated.
2. This water improves muscular performance and has anti-allergic properties, is used for bronchial asthma, stomatitis and itchy dermatitis of allergic nature.

Filtering

The water filtration method is now quite affordable, as there are many types and types of filters on sale, and their prices vary widely. When buying a filter, pay attention to its main characteristic: how many liters of water can they clean.

Important! When filtering water at home with capacitive filters, do not forget to change them in time, as the harmful components accumulated in the filter go to the water to be purified, and as a result, the water will not be purified, but, on the contrary, will become even more harmful.

If you want to purify water at home in this way, buy a multi-level filter. Water in this filtration is first cleared of mechanical impurities, chlorine, sediments, colloidal solutions and iron oxides, and then, thanks to the reverse osmosis membrane of the filter, bacteria and viruses are removed from the liquid.

Important! The multi-level filter cleans the water by 99%.The water after such purification is close in composition to the spring water.

Activated charcoal cleaning

Manufacturers of water filters widely use activated carbon. This tool not only eliminates the unpleasant odors of impurities, but also adsorbs most of the harmful substances.

The way of using activated carbon is very simple and at the same time will cost you:

1. Prepare gauze or cotton wool.
2. Package in them 5 tablets of activated charcoal.
3. Place the product on the bottom of the dish with water.
4. The water will be cleared by morning.

Mineral Cleaning

If you are looking for interesting ways of how to clean water at home, try using minerals.

Silicon

This is a very useful mineral, you can buy it in pharmacies. They say he heals from 100 diseases. Silicon not only disinfects water, but also impregnates it with useful properties. At the same time, water does not deteriorate for a long time and becomes very tasty.

Important! This stone is called an element of youth and beauty. It rejuvenates the skin, strengthens blood vessels, provides beauty to hair, teeth, nails. Aging, to a large extent, is associated with a decrease in the silicon content in the body. People with a lack of silicon, as a rule, are irritable, have an increased sensitivity to noise, they are difficult to concentrate, not infrequently they have a feeling of despair.

Healing action of silicon water:

• promotes rapid healing of wounds and burns;
• strengthens the immune system;
• normalizes the level of sugar and cholesterol in the blood;
• rejuvenates and cleanses the skin;
• supports the process of bone repair;
• provides elasticity of vessels;
• enhances the growth of hair and nails.

For obtaining silicon water:

1. Well wash the pieces of mineral.
2. Put it in a suitable container.
3. Fill with water.
4. Insist water on the silicon for at least 24 hours( preferably 48).
5. Drain the treated water in a sealed vessel.
6. Wash the mineral and add a new portion of water.

Important! Use this water can be for any purpose. In the absence of silicon, insist water on an earthen pear( Jerusalem artichoke), the mineral content in it is 8%.

Mountain quartz

Indian yogis considered it the most harmonious of all existing crystals. They worshiped him as the conductor of the pure energy of the Cosmos. It is established that mountain quartz is easily tuned to the frequencies of vibration of the human body. Crystals of a mineral create such an energy flow that is able to purify negative, sick energy and at the same time give a powerful charge of healing power.

Important! Quartz was part of the arsenal of ancient healers, and it was also used by Tibetan lamas. In our time, quartz is called the crystal of the 21st century, and the water, purified by this mineral, is considered to be water of a new generation.

When interacting with quartz, water in its chemical composition approaches the standard - the water of mountain glacial springs. It facilitates the transport of nutrients to the cells of the body and removes toxins. After all, everyone knows that the mountaineers are famous for their longevity, perhaps, thanks to the use of thawed glacial water.

Purified water on mountain quartz:

• normalizes metabolism, which means it helps to lose weight;
• rejuvenates the skin, smooths wrinkles and improves complexion;
• relieves stress, irritability;
• relieves chronic fatigue syndrome;
• activates regeneration;
• strengthens and increases the elasticity of the walls of the vessels;
• strengthens memory and promotes activation of thought processes.

Important! Saturate and purify water with quartz is necessary for the same technology and scheme as silicon.

Shungite

A unique natural mineral, and shungite water is the basis of a healthy lifestyle. According to his ability to purify water from harmful impurities, he has no equal. It is a universal sorbent. It adsorbs up to 95 pollutants on its surface, removes turbidity and gives the liquid a spring taste, that is, it is very effective to purify water at home.

Shungite water acts on the body in this way:

• restores immune and energy status;
• has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect;
• anesthetizes with burns;
• is successfully used for rinsing the mouth, throat, nose;
• has a rejuvenating effect;
• eliminates fine wrinkles, puffiness;
• strengthens the roots of hair;
• removes the hangover.

You can also prepare food on this water, and any vegetable decoction will be very useful. With the use of shungite water, you say goodbye to many diseases, including the gastrointestinal tract, a few months later.

Important! To obtain shungite water, use the same scheme and technique as when cleaning with the above minerals.

Silver

Ancient Indians disinfected water, plunging silver plates into it. In the Russian Orthodox Church, parishioners also use holy water, which is obtained by keeping it in silver vessels.

Important! By bactericidal properties, silver is superior to carbolic acid, gaseous chlorine and other strong disinfectants. The effect of "silver" water, with its properties, persists for several months. But from heavy metals and other chemical compounds, unfortunately, silver can not purify water, since it is an inert metal.

To clean the water with silver, it is necessary: ​​

Collect liquid in the cookware.

1. Put a silver object on the bottom( spoon, fork. ..).The main thing is that it is not technical silver and not jewelry, as in jewelry use an alloy with a lot of copper.
2. One day, so that the water cleared of bacteria and acquired a healing property, it is enough.

Alternative cleaning methods

If you are an adherent of unconventional solutions, take note of one of the following non-traditional ways how to clean water at home.

Method of biblical times

1. Add white young dry wine to the water from the calculation of ⅓ wine to ⅔ water.
2. Wait for 15 minutes.

The life-giving drink is ready. Drink to your health!

The folk method of

To purify water from iron, chemical impurities and bacteria, lower the rowan paw for 2-3 hours. The purifying properties of mountain ash compete with activated carbon, chlorine and even silver.

Important! Instead of the rowan paw, you can use leaves of bird cherry, willow bark, onion husks, juniper branches, but at the same time the disinfection time should be at least 24 hours.

How to clean water from iron?

Iron is one of the most common elements of the periodic table present on our land. Therefore, the main ways of getting iron into drinking water are: the process of weathering and soil erosion, corrosion of pipelines, as well as from sewage from industrial enterprises. Treatment plants can use iron-containing substances to clarify water.

Important! Externally, the presence of iron in water can be detected by smell, metallic taste or by a dull brownish hue. Initially, pure water during settling can acquire a reddish-brown precipitate. If such water flows from the tap, then the increased content of iron you will notice on rusty streaks on the sink or toilet.

Is it worth it to purify water from iron?

We answer - it all depends on the concentration of the mineral. If your water contains less than 3 mg / l of iron, then you need to clean it only to improve the taste, it will not cause any harm to health. If the iron content is above the threshold, then you can think about health and cleanse the water of surplus.

Important! Methods for purifying water from iron depend on the form in which this mineral is contained in your water. Most often we are dealing with bivalent iron, that is, water is colorless and transparent, but has a metallic taste.

Method number 1.Ion-exchange

Use of filters with ion-exchange cartridges. This method uses cation exchangers, removing not only calcium and magnesium ions, but also bivalent dissolved iron. It is the method with the use of ion-exchange resins that is most effective for removing excess manganese and iron in water. The problem is only to select the optimal multicomponent combination of ion exchange resins to work with different water parameters.

Important! All manufacturers of household filters produce "deferrization" cartridges.

Method number 2.Reverse osmosis

Reverse osmosis filters are effective not only for the removal of ferrous iron, but also for purification from any other impurities. Many experts believe that it is these filters that better purify water. The reason for this opinion is that the ferrous ions are larger than the pores of the reverse osmosis membranes, so the membranes retain them well. At the same time, the membrane is not clogged, because the impurities retained by the filter are discharged into the sewage system.

Important! Problems in reverse osmosis filters and ion-exchange cartridges arise when, in addition to divalent water, trivalent iron is also present. At a high concentration of such iron, the pores of the ion exchange filter and the reverse osmosis membrane are clogged and the filters lose their effectiveness.

On the other hand, it is even easier to clean water from insoluble ferric( rust), since most of it is captured by mechanical cleaning filters. The easiest way to purify water from iron is to allow the water to stand in the air so that the dissolved iron turns into a precipitate. To intensify the oxidation process, air can be blown through the water, for example, using an aquarium compressor.

Water is the source of life on earth, so enrich it, clean it and drink it on health. Let it give you all its healing properties, improve your health and enrich your energy!
