I too have a plumbing history unfortunately ! we make carbon filters to remove odor from some of our pump station air release valves at work and that same aspect could be put to use in this , we use socks specially made for the carbon material so im thinking a pair of the wifes panty hose could come in handy for retaining the activated charcoal in the pipe.
If you boil water it turns to a gas, if done in a still it condensates back into water, and you have distiller water, which is completely safe to drink. No need to further filter at all. If you just boil water it will kill any microbes and be safe to drink, but may still have debris and taste bad, but by distilling it you have clean, tasteless water.
NOOOO! boiling it doesn't always do the trick! matter of fact, in some waters, theres a blue algae in some waters, that by itself is harmless, but when boiled turns into a deadly chemical. matter of fact its rated #2 on the chemical warfare list. not good. I would think/believe distillation would still be considerably nice to do lol
The only downfall to boiling is it will not remove chemicals so a backup filter would be a good idea regardless. Plan on getting me a couple of those replacement berky filters and some clear tubing to go with them so they can be used to drink directly from streams,creeks,rivers,puddles,bottles ,w/e it may be if boiling wont do the trick.
Find out some info on it and what it is called and shoot us a link so we can check it out!
Don't mean to knock anyone's ideas, but can you say snake oil! Beware of anyone asking for your money and making miraculous promises.
So you're accusing it of not being real... Nobody asked for money. I simply pointed people into the direction of a site where it offered. I've seen it first hand and have seen the results of what it can do. Do your research before you try to dismiss something as fake or untrue.
Yes I'm skeptical, I consider that a good virtue. I'm a person who believes in science and provable facts. Again, beware of anything that professes to be miraculous and can cure a wide range of illness or problems. On the same note, I'd be very interested to know any details or evidence that you're aware of. I remember a few years back where a fad went around about copper bracelets that were said to cure arthritis, diabetes,and a whole host of other ailments. They sold for ten to 20 times what a bracelet should be worth. I also know of the placebo effect, it's a proven fact that lots of ailments can be improved by ones belief that it has been cured. I'm not bashing anyone's beliefs or ideas, and am always interested in new ideas and products, and am willing to discuss anything, with intelligent skepticism.
