You can have a fresh drinking supply of water in minutes with a portable UV water purifier. This is a change from the normal, as other methods can take much longer and leave a poor taste. Using your new UV water purifier may seem simple enough, but some tips exist to allow you to use it more efficiently.
Ultraviolet light is something you have become familiar with, no doubt, when you have been at the pool or the beach. You will have likely received a sun burn. While ultraviolet light may give the human body a bit of a burn, it will give bacteria and other nasty organisms a much harder time. While it doesn’t kill them, it disrupts them to the point where they may no longer reproduce.
Whether a good thing or bad, ultraviolet purification won’t affect the taste of the water you are purifying. Unfortunately a murky water may just still taste like murky water- it will just be healthy to drink. Some purification methods are able to leave a good taste, but at the cost of expense or convenience that you find with UV purification.
You have the option to use other filtration methods in addition to the portable ultraviolet water purifier. If you do indeed see a cloudy water, and don’t care to taste the free floating particles, you can use a sediment filter to block out most of the particles. Doing so before using the UV treatment is a good idea to prevent any further contamination of your drinking water.
Water is incredibly abundant in nature- odds are you won’t have problems finding it. If not from local water sources, the rain can be trapped and captured to drink. Because the purifiers are built for water purification, and little other liquids exist in nature, you shouldn’t use the purification process for other liquids found in your home. The ultraviolet light and its efficiency may leave something to be desired due to the composition of the liquid.
Cleaning still water isn’t recommended. When treating a water sample, you should always gently shake the sample to get the particles flowing throughout the entire sample. This is especially necessary if the sample was taken from a pond or puddle, in which the contents have likely settled to the bottom. In the end this allows for a uniform distribution of the ultraviolet light, which ensures that the purification takes place evenly.
In Conclusion
Portable water purifiers always come in handy- even if you aren’t much of a hiker or camper. Keep one in your trunk as an emergency store. You will be surprised at how often the device will come into usage when you need a source of fresh drinking water in a lacking environment.
