Water Purification Equipment

mountaindweller44:

Sediment strainer filters are for removing sediments, such as mud and rust…great, if you are getting water from a muddy stream…this would be your first filtration…then, you would boil the water to kill organisms…10-minutes of boiling, minimum, for water you plan to drink…careful of cross-contamination, and don’t keep the water longer than 24-hours after boiling, unless you chlorinate it with sodium hypochlorite (bleach).

mountaindweller44:

boiling does not remove cysts, dirt, etc. Boiling should be considered 2nd stage purification, to follow 1st stage filtration. few situations require 3rd stage osmotic membrane transferrance…

If you filter and don’t boil, you’ll get parasites and amoebas! If you boil and don’t filter, you will get sand, sediment, and possibly some detriment (i.e.: what’s your cat’s name…and where is his litter box?) 1st and 2nd stage…and your water is clean enough to drink.

I would of cut the bottom not the top than there would be no need to poke holes on the other end of the bottle

JonGarrett2008:

I can see how this might filter the water but how does this “purify” it? how does this kill the bacteria in it? wont the water come out muddy and dirty?

myguitardidyermom12:

actually, during the middle ages people would be more likely to drink beer than water because the beer was sterile while water from wells and streams was more likely to make them sick. not that they understood the science behind it or anything.

mrsuperterd:

@snowfallzz yea only when the snow melts you have to be carful in the spring all the run off cary’s shit into the water any other time yea yea haven’t had beaver fever yet thank god my bro figured it out for me haha he’s hardcore and has had it a couple of times

bushcraftstudent:

300 yrsago people were drinkg straight from the creek dsand lakes, but there systems were used to it from alife tie oexposur tothe bacteria and parsites. I willing to bet they ha some kind of bush medicine for the times some dd get sick from it though

jango2020:

CougarClan is correct – this method will not protect from viruses bacteria pesticides or heavy metals – water purified with dirt ? lmao

bean432:

beer would just make them dehydrated, then they have to drink water…

i was really hoping that dumbass stabbed himself when we was “poking some holes” in the bottom of his “water purifier”, looked more like we was trying to stab himself
