Water is life. The cleaner you drink the longer you live.

Let me share tips that will assist homes, sachet and bottle water factories:

1. Boiling water before drinking is a good move. If you can drink it refrigerated the better. You do not need to filter the water if it does not have visible particles.
2. For sachet water factories you do not need much equipment to treat water if you are starting with average income. All you need are chlorination, sand and activated charcoal bed, filters, UV radiation. You will only need reverse osmosis technology if the water table in your area is saline or have heavy metal content. You can go for ozonotion if you can afford.
3. For bottle water, the level of treatment would be higher. You may have to combine all the treatment options above.
4. Water factories are supposed to change their filters every two weeks. Sand and charcoal bed are to be backwashed daily - and changed when they lose their activity.
5. Do not drill borehole close to soakaway tank or location with history of soakaway or waste dump.
6. Make effort to send your drinking water to the lab to test for coliform group of bacteria and heavy metals. Test for hydrocarbon contamination if located near fuel stations and depots. Send lab result to me and I will assist you with wayforward.
7. Pathogenic bacteria is responsible for most diseases while heavy metals are responsible for organ failures. Hydrocarbon contamination is responsible for cancer and reproductive defects.
8. Engage only experts for your chlorine dosing.
9. pH is one fast indicator that can greatly help. Use pH metre or paper.

Drink healthy.

Thanks for the info!
