• BOILING
• FILTERING
• DISTILLING
• CHLORINATION
Boiling
Boiling kills vegetative bacterial cells,
but spores, viruses, and some protozoa
may survive long periods of boiling.
Boiling may also volatilize VOC’s.
Boiling is an effective method for small
batches of water during water
emergencies.
Boiling is prohibitively expensive for
large quantities of water.
Filtering
Some home water filtration systems
can remove chemical contaminants,
but fail to effectively remove
microbiological ones (bacteria) from
your water supply.
Therefore, these are not "purifiers"
in the true sense of the word.
Distilling
Compare to Previous methods
distillation is considered in some
quarters to be the best.
It removes the widest variety of
contaminants such as salts, chemicals,
bacteria and other micro-organisms
from your water supply.
Produces flat tasting water that is
stripped of the trace minerals that your
body needs.
Chlorination
Super-chlorination. This uses a high
dose of chlorine but later neutralizes it
using hydrogen peroxide, and is very
effective.
Nano-filtration
Ultra-filtration
Micro-filtration
