There are many different types of bacteria. There are many types which are natural components of lakes, rivers, and streams which are harmless. There is also many different types of bacteria which are harmful and can lead to many different types of diseases and sicknesses. It has been proven in many cases where natural disaster scenarios occur, and the people are left without clean water to drink due to bacteria. The hamful types of bacteria prevent people from drinking water and leave them deprived of water.

 

There is many different ways in which bacteria can be treated. There is specific tablets which contain chemicals such as iodine to purify water. There is also filtration systems which have filters that are nanometers thick to prevent the bacteria from passing through with the water. There is also a simple way in which many people use in natural disaster scenarios which is boiling the water. Boiling the water to a certain temperature kills the bacteria due to the heat and is usually one of the cheapest methods. To ensure that water is okay to consume using our product, we recommend boiling the water for three minutes.
