Clean and safe drinking water is everyone’s right. Water purification is a serious concern in our country, India. In today’s blog, Penguin Tank, one of the best plastic water tank manufacturers and suppliers in India will tell you about 5 effective ways you can purify water like a pro. So, without any further ado, let’s move forward.

Boiling

Boiling is by far the most preferred and effective ways of water purification in our country. It is always recommended to boil water before consumption to get rid of bacteria and other known organisms. The water you drink by boiling is safe for consumption. However, many people argue that boiling as a water purification method is quite expensive if we consider the costs of gas.

Chlorination

For the ones who are looking for a cheaper water purification method, well, consider chlorination to be your best friend. Chlorine is a very effective chemical that has been used for cleaning water for ages. This amazing chemical can kill germs, parasites and other disease-causing organisms in minutes. All you have to do is purchase chlorine in whichever form you like, be it in tablets or liquids and put the same as per the given instructions.

Commercial water filters

Of course, commercial water filters are highly used commodities in every Indian’s home. We treat them as a one-time investment and hence hate compromising on their quality. Commercial water filters are highly successful in removing almost all tannins and soil from contaminated water and make it fit for drinking purpose. Commercial water purifiers can either be electrical or non-electrical. The electrical ones are costly but more efficient and durable than their counterparts.

Water purification tablets or liquids

Water purification tablets or liquids (like Zeoline) can also be used for disinfecting water. The best part is they are inexpensive and available at all medicine shops.

Solar water disinfection

As we all know, the sun rays can kill bacteria and other pollutants. In many places, people use solar water disinfection as a means to purify water for free of cost. All you have to do is fill water in transparent plastic bottles and keep them at a place where you get maximum sunlight (however, the best place would be the rooftop) for 6 to 8 hours. Then you will find that the stored water looks more cleaner than before. You can simply transfer the hot water to other bottles or containers for drinking.
