What is good drinking water

Good drinking water have specific physical and chemical properties that make the water good to drink and health for the body.

An important property of the water you drink is the temperature, a too high or too low temperature can disturbe your stomach and lower your internal body temperature beyond what is healthy. However, in hot weather and by hard physical work, cool water can refresh the body.

Usually water somewhat cooler than a pleasant room temperature will be the best water temperature to drink, but this will vary according to season. In the winter one will prefere a warmer drinking water that in the summer.

An important property of the water is the amount of dissolved oxygen. When there is much dissolved oxygen in the water, it tasts much fresher than water depleted of oxygen. Water have greater ability to dissolve oxygen when it is cold than when warm. Warming water to the boiling point will take away much oxygen from the water, and make it taste dull.

The drinking water should be free from bacteria or other germs or have a content under a certain minimum. Other types of dissolved foreign substances can increase or decrease the water quality according to the type of substance.

Some substances can make the water tast better or worse. Some substances can be bad for the health. Other substances are nutrients needed in small amounts and can thus make the water healthier.

A certain content of minerals usually makes the drinking water both tastier and healthier, as long as the mineral content is varied and not only salt (HCl).  Water containing at least 250 ppm (parts per million) of dissilved solid minerals is called mineral water.

A certian content of fluoride in the water can make the teeth stronger and more resistant against attacks from qcids and bacteria.

Water pure from unwanted substances or elements, with a good oxygen content and with a wanted mineral content can be achieved in several ways. It can be obtained from certain natural springs or wells. It can be made by first rinsing or destilling the water and the add the desired substances.

 

 

Methods to save energy and money

Many housholds have dangerously high energy costs. It is also an important issue nowadays to keep the use of energy low, to lower the outlet of greenhouse gasses into the air. 

There is one important issue to keep in mind. A exagerated energy consume ins actually unomrotable. , and decreaseing own energy consume can actually make the home and life more comfortable than before.

Here are some advices about saving energy and thereby lower your household costs.

Shut down the light and relulate down the heating in rooms in periods where the rooms are not in use. This can be done with cheap authomatic regulating devices, either from a house central or from cheap devices inxtalled in each room.

By isolating the walls in the hous better, the cold can be kept out during cold periods, and the heat from the sun can be kept out during peak periods in the day. Tearing down the walls just to isolate them may be too expencive, but when the walls are redone  during repair and upgrade, adequate isolation should be set in. This way you spare costs for heating and costs for air conditioning during heat peaks.

The windows are often poorly isolated in many houses. Energy is leaking out through thin simple glasses and through cracks and untight frames. Shifting out the windows with new and better shieded ones can spare much money in the long run.

The use of energy sparing light bulbs or lighting tubes can save energy and mobey if you live in a hoot geographical area with little need for heating in the house, and in the summer. If you live in a cold area, they are of little use for this purose, because the heat given out from the bulbs will make it possible to regulate down the power of other heating equipment.

One can save the use of electric energy for heating with the use of a heat pump. The heat pump consists of a system of tubes in the ground or in a lake outside a building, a system of tubes or radiators inside the building, some narrow valves in the border from the inside system to the outside part, and a mechanical pump in the other border from the outside to the inside. Some substance that is circulating in the system. The pump compresses the substance when it goes from the outside to the inside, and the substance espands again when it goes from the inside to the outside.

The pressure drops from the inside to the outside, making the substnce very cold, even colder than the outside surroundings, and it is therefore warmed up by the outside surroundings. The comprssion when it goes inside again makes it very warm so that it can deliver heat to the inside of the house. Some of energy making heat comes from the pump, but most of it is actually fetched from the surroundings outside.

A heat pump aggregate is expensive, and is only suitable for cold areas and for house over a certain size.

Solar cell panels are becomming steadily more interesting as a means to spare money on energy costs, the same can be done with domestic windmill aggregates.

However a full solar cell or windmill installation is still expensive, and it is difficult to spare more energy than the cost of the aggregate, at least do this hold in communities where the electric company runs an honest business.

However, in many communities around the world the the status as a monopoly has made the electric company tempted to take undue and frankly speaking frawdolent prizes for its services. In such communities it can be wise to make oneself totally free from the dependency to the electric company by mens of solar panels and other means.

Some communities consider, however, the benefits of solar cell panels as so great for the environment that they are willing to subsidize the installation of such panels in various ways, and even pay for electricity produced by over-capasity in individual homes. Solar cell panels are also convenient measures to produce electricity at places where a connection to the network is imconvenient, or for places with only a very small electricity consume, for example country cottages.
