How to Use Portable Water Purifiers

Many people do not know how easy it is to use portable water purifiers in their homes or offices to improve overall taste and health. Non-filtered water can contain chemicals that are detrimental to the body. The use of a water purifier can improve the taste of regular tap water and lessen the taste of chlorine or lead. Many easy water filters are available in pitchers and other transportable designs.

1. Start clean. Wash your hands and water container before you begin the task of using a water purifier.

2. Prepare filter for use. Remove water filter from packaging and submerge it in water. Keep it in the water for 10 to 15 minutes.

3. Place filter in pitcher. Remove filter from water and place in space located in the pitcher. Line up the grooves to make the filter slide easily in place.

4. Add water. Retrieve water from the tap and fill the portable water purifier. Pour out the contents and load the container with water. Pour out the water for a second time to remove any carbon dust.

5. Fill and drink. Fill the pitcher with water and place in the refrigerator.  Remember to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines on when to change the water filter.
