How to safely drink tap water?

To safely drink tap water, do not drink overnight water, observe the changes of drinking water quality in time, drain before drinking water, treat polluted water in time, and clean scale regularly.

1, don't drink overnight water:

The test data of lead precipitation concentration in the faucet shows that the longer the water stays in the faucet, the higher the lead content, so the water in the faucet must not be drunk overnight. If the water is cut off, as long as it lasts for more than 6 hours, be sure to turn on the tap and drain 1 min -3 minutes before eating.

2. Observe the changes of drinking water quality in time.

First of all, we should observe the color of water to see if there is any abnormal color or turbidity and whether there is any foreign body; Secondly, smell the water for any peculiar smell, such as earthy smell, metallic smell and grass smell.

3. Drain the water before drinking.

Before drinking tap water, turn on the tap water and let the water run for a while. This also applies to parallel imports in the morning without running water for a long time. Don't waste the discharged water, it can be used for cleaning and sanitation.

4. Dispose of the polluted water in time.

Don't drink polluted water directly. Be sure to boil it. When the water is near 100 degree, open the pot cover to volatilize the volatile organic compounds in the water. You can also naturally precipitate the water, remove the colloidal substances in the water and drink it.

5, scale should be cleaned regularly.

Although it is harmless to health, the scale is not good. If the water quality in an area is excellent, the equipment for transporting and heating water is easy to scale, which will reduce the efficiency of water-using equipment and even cause failure, shorten the service life of equipment and greatly increase energy consumption.

For the daily activities of the family, hard water will consume more water and washing supplies when washing, clothes are not easy to wash, and life will be shortened. Bathing with hard water can also have a bad effect on skin and hair.
