Just like milk is pasteurized at a certain temperature, boiling water at home kills organisms that can cause harm or infection. You need to boil water for at least a minute or two.

If you have a water tank at home and you consume the same water for drinking purposes then it is important to disinfect the water in your tank. Chlorine or water purification tablets can be bought either from stores or online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are effervescent tablets that are easily dissolved in water and can kill all the disease-causing microorganisms such as cholera and typhoid. Each tablet size is specifically designed to cater to a certain amount of water. Usually, these tablets can treat water from 1 liter to 2,500 liters of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Installing water filters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/29-01-B-1-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Make sure the water is clean by installing water filters\" class=\"wp-image-80172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/29-01-B-1-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/29-01-B-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/29-01-B-1-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/29-01-B-1-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/29-01-B-1.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Install water filters to purify water at home<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different kinds of water purification systems in filters. Some water filters are better at removing contaminants. Let\u2019s discuss some of the best water filters at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sediment Filter<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most common water purifiers at home is a Sediment Filter. It\u2019s also one of the simplest water filtration methods. You really don\u2019t have to do a lot. This particular method removes sediments like heavy metals, rust, sand and other large particles suspended in water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is used as a low-cost pre-filter, along with other water filtration systems at home, like GAC filter and Reverse Osmosis filtration systems, so that other filters don\u2019t get clogged from large particles. Once you see the cartridge is turning brown, just get it removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Filters&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Carbon filters absorb impurities from fluid. The pollutants in the fluid and other contaminants are trapped by the activated carbon. These filters also help remove any unpleasant odours from tap water. GAC is one of the most commonly used filters in homes but it is not effective in removing dissolved inorganic substances in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>UV Water Filter<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It is one of the best ways to disinfect water and remove bacteria and pathogens completely. The ultraviolet rays can destroy 99% of microorganisms without changing the water\u2019s taste and odour. These water filter systems are usually paired with the common carbon filter or the reverse osmosis filter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UV water filters are recommended for houses where the water is believed to be contaminated by different bacteria and parasites, such as E.Coli or Cryptosporidium. The UV filter is usually blue in colour and it needs to be connected with an electric source in order to operate. Using these UV filters is one of the most common ways to purify water at home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Solar Disinfectant<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is probably one of the most inexpensive and natural ways to purify water at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use solar energy to disinfect and purify water. But this is generally a slower process. Keep a plastic bottle of water out in the sun for 6-8 hours, or for 2 days if it\u2019s cloudy outside, to thoroughly disinfect water before consuming it. The UV-A rays in sunlight help kill germs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, these were some of the ways to purify water at home.
