Hello friends,
It is not needed to mention about the hot climate as many are discussing the same already here. All are tolerating the scorching heat. In this scenario drinking safe water is some thing we have to be careful on daily basis.
Boiling water is my best method to make it safe for drinking. Yes, it is time consuming task as we need to boil then allow it cool then put in the refrigerator to make it cool. But it is worth in the long run as there are many water born diseases spread in summer.
What is your method to make the water safe for drinking? Or do you buy drinking water?

We have a 3 stage filter at home besides buying alkaline water and mineral water for my elderly mother. Note the impurities the filter takes out even if we have safe and clean tap water

@hereandthere it runs on natural water pressure, its attached to the faucet, when you open it, it will force water through the 3 canister filters and come out clean thru a stainless pipe, no electricity needed.The action is instant like your natural faucet.

Usually buy drinking water or boil the water to make tea specially red tead or the Morun Tea (Moroccan Tea).
Too many Mosquitoes around so I cover the water and any of the plates around up as well.

@lovinangelsinstead21 haha in our native, you know once the sun sets then all closes the doors and windows to prevent mosquitoes get in. You are opening the same allowing them to go out.

All I can give them five minutes to get out of the house as well.
I open the doors wide open to give them a chance to get out if not they have had it.
I only go after the annoying ones really and I am a big softie.

We were planning to buy a purifier but it seemed more practical to buy some containers in the water refilling station.

@Sreekala yes, we 3 siblings are habitual of purified water only...
When we shifted to our new house that time the purifier wasn't installed and for 10 days we have to use simple water but me and my brother got badly sick and had sore throat....

To drink boil water is the best bet to safeguard ourselves from water borne diseases. We use water filter to get safe water. Sometimes, when need arises we make the water boil and cool it down for drinking.

@Sreekala I get my water filter serviced regularly and taste and flavour of water tell about its quality. We have been drinking water from our water filter for quite a long time, we have not faced any problem.
We take boiling water if someone falls ills and Doctor specifically advice to take boiling water.

You are right about boiling the water. We put a filtration system in that was very inexpensive here. The water supply for us is from the city and they add chlorine and other chemicals during their 'purification' process. Our system removed the chemicals and a few other things.

Sometimes we boil the water, sometimes we buy . It depends on my parent's decision.
