Tips on making your drinking water cleaner.

Water is also the essence of life; the same way we need air to survive, we also need water to survive because, without it, many things cannot be done. Why do you think the earth has been able to survive all these harsh things humans have done to it? Because it has enough water in it, and the highest amount of oxygen created on earth is from the ocean.

Anyway, we are not here to discuss that, but to talk about how clean my drinking water is and how I made it clean to my taste. While growing up, I was told, "Water is a substance that is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless liquid." With this definition, it is enough to tell you what I use to qualify as good drinking water for myself.

I grew up in a little harsh environment where the last thing we had to worry about was how clean our water was. My body has grown to adapt to the kind of water I am drinking without any side effects. I am not saying this is the best, and you should not push for more clean water.

There was a particular year I went camping with friends in a remote area that was not too far from a small town. It was in the forest, and we found a flowing stream. Since we are out of water, we took water from the stream, boiled it, and then drank it. There were a lot of dry tree branches that we use for fire, and yes, we took some cooking utensils just in case we needed to cook some food. We went hurting too, but the water was a blessing to us, and we were able to last longer on the camping site. So, boiling water is one way to keep your water clean.

You know, people who live in the city actually don't know where their water comes from; most of the time, they just take water from the tap and drink it. This is something I do most of the time if my bottle of water is out and I am out of cash to buy more. Well, there are some people who don't have the funds to buy bottles of water like my homies, and this is what we do. Since we are the ones who pump our water into our tank, we got a water filter.

At first, when we got the water disinfectant filter, the taste of our water changed. I was wondering what could have caused it. I did some searching and found out that the disinfectant in the filter is known as chlorine or something. I got the filter so I could drink clean water, not chemicals. It was then that I understood why the water had a bad taste. We changed the filter to something without chemicals—a filter that would help us filter out any dirt in our water.

My homies and I also take turns cleaning the tank, so it remains clean; that way, we are able to get all the clean water we want.

These are the ways I have been able to get myself clean water over the years.
Thanks for reading.
