This Republic Day, Let Us Free INDIA From Water Contamination

The countdown has begun to celebrate Republic Day yet again in the brand New Year of 2019. 26th January 1950 is the day when the Constitution of India came into force, completing the country’s transition toward becoming an independent republic. This day created history as India was declared as a democratic republic nation and Dr. Rajendra Prasad was elected as the First President of India. Since then, we celebrate this day as the Republic Day by proudly flying our tricolour Indian National Flag and by singing our National Anthem ‘Jana Gana Mana…’

Let us be the change we want to see in our country. Any change that you want to bring in for good, starts from your surroundings such as your home, your workplace and your neighbourhood. How about starting with water? Water contamination is a serious issue at present in India and it needs to be addressed both on an individual basis and on the whole. Water gets contaminated due to several reasons such as natural calamities such as earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes, algae blooms etc., Manmade pollution from municipal and industrial activities is also one of the major reasons of water contamination. There are many different sources of water including rainwater, surface water, and groundwater. Any pollutants in the water can affect our overall health and become a huge hindrance to our overall social and economic development. To find out those pollutants, implement the following on a regular basis.

Check the water: Keep your senses open and check for an indifferent taste, smell or color of the water that you are using. This is the simplest way to keep a track on water on a daily basis.

Get a testing kit: Water testing kit is easily available in the market. Buy one and follow the instructions and just in few steps, find out whether the water is contaminated or not.

Check with a lab: If you are unable to test the water yourself for any such reason, send a sample of water in a lab and get it tested.

Connect with the local water supplier: If you have any doubts related to the water that you are using, contact the local water supplier and get hold of a water quality report.

Follow these and also keep an eye on the water storage tanks where the water is kept on a regular basis. Plastic water storage tanks from Penguin Tank are the best.

Tap Water & Drinking Water: A Difference Explained

Tap water is potable water that comes directly from the tap in the houses, businesses, public buildings etc. It gets transported by the pipeline to tap users. Usually, the water is stored in water tanks to make it available to users all the time. The main question arises of the quality of water here. Generally, this water comes from either groundwater, river or lakes. Now in a country like India, water pollution is not so uncommon. This water can contain bacteria, industrial pollutants, minerals and metals leached from the soil and so on. Obviously, if the tap water contains any of these, it is not safe for consumption. Although it is most convenient to use as you simply turn on the faucet and your glass of water is ready. It is inexpensive too. The tap water is considered as safe where the water treatment is done such as filtration, disinfection, and removal of any minerals and other chemicals as per the standard set by the EPA.

Drinking water, here, means bottled water or filtered water by using water purifier systems such as RO or UV. Bottled water is water from natural springs or public sources that goes through a purification process and distributed to retail stores. The bottled water is quite expensive, approximately 1000 times more expensive and contains added minerals to enhance the taste. It remains a fact that due to an increase in water pollution, Indians are becoming more dependent upon bottled water these days. Even at homes, a water filter has become a must. The tap water is filtered and then used, at least for drinking and cooking purposes. For cleaning and washing purposes, tap water is usually harmless. In most Indian homes, offices and other establishments, filtered water is being used for drinking and cooking and tap water is used for the rest of the purposes.

Water storage tanks play a very important role as well. The kind of water tanks used to store water also determines the water quality as the water is supplied from these tanks for daily uses. Therefore, using a good quality water tank and maintaining the same at regular intervals is very important. Penguin Tank is the perfect choice when it comes to plastic water storage tanks for domestic and commercial properties.

Afraid of Water Pollution? Learn To Test Water Quality At Your Home – Part1

To be Continued…..

As you are aware of the different water uses, let us continue to the main discussion now. Do you know you can actually test water quality at home? Yes, it is possible. There are three main ways of testing water quality all by yourself. Continue reading to find out how.

Use your senses

There is nothing better than to use our different senses to test the water quality at home. Begin with checking the smell of the water. Generally, there are three kinds of smell such as bleach smell, rotten egg smell, and musty or earthy smell. Bleach smell is not harmful as it is because of the chlorine that is being added to make it safe. This smell goes away when exposed to air for some time. Or, a home water filter is a good alternative to get rid of it. If it smells like a rotten egg, it means that there are bacteria inside the water and your water storage tank needs to be cleaned. A musty or earthy smell is also not harmful but needs to be addressed as to where it is coming from. Taste the water. Metallic taste means low pH levels or excess minerals, bleach taste means excessive chlorine, salty taste means the presence of chloride ions or sulfates. Check for the cloudiness and presence of particles such as brown, orange or red particles that come from rust in pipes and fixtures, black particles come from the hoses, white or tan particles indicates excess calcium or magnesium carbonate in water. Examine the color and if it seems wrong, contact the local municipality. Last but not least, check for the corrosion or build up of pipes such as blue, white or rust colored.

Get a Home Testing Kit

Buy a home water testing kit and follow the instructions mentioned to check the water quality all by yourself. It is easy and anyone can do it.

Obtain a water quality report for your neighborhood: Check the local website, download the current water quality report and determine the quality of water at your home. Simple, isn’t it? Let us help ourselves and do not be dependent upon an outsider to determine the water quality of our homes. Install a good quality plastic water storage tank alongside to ensure the safe storage of water such as Penguin Tank.
