Cool Clean Water
  
A  FishTackler Science fair Project.

Is the water from your tap less than palatable?
Here is a science fair project that will make it taste like cold mountain spring.



  
     If you use this as a science fair project be sure to include the following warnning.

Warning:
this system  removes only chemical impurities and does not remove bacteria or other infectious agents. This project is designed to use approved drinking water only.  Do not use lake stream pond or any other unsafe water source!
     Are you sure about what you are drinking in your tap water? Are there bad things lurking there?  How palletable is your tap water?  Does it taste like chalk, or worse? There is a way you can have great tasting water right from your tap! Any person with just basic skills, Male or Female,10 years old and up, can make this water purifier. It is so simple to make that it can be done in less than five minutes. You will be amazed at how simple this device is but you will be even more amazed at how well it works. This same process is being used today to turn salty ocean water into fresh drinking water and is producing millions of gallons of fresh water. This simple device will take almost all the salts and minerals out of your tap water and give you very pure water that tastes like it came from a cold mountain stream. I have taken proven technology that is used today to purify water and reduced the complexity down to an incredibly simple tool. Our daughter used this same device as her science fair project. She had before and after samples of water for people to taste. The water she used came from a little town where we lived in Northern Utah, that was notorious for it's bad tasting water. The town used two wells to get it's water from and mixed them. In one well the levels of arsenic was above the maximum allowed by federal law and the other well had too much nitrate but when they mixed the water from the two wells they were barely able to squeak past the levels set by federal and state law for arsenic and nitrate. You can imagine how bad the water tasted. It was fun to watch people who came from out of town to visit our church. When they took the sacrament they would sip the water and  a strange look would flash accross their face, like they were asking themselves if they had just been  poisoned. Using that awful tasting to demenstrate the principle of water purification and make bad water taste like virgin spring water won the day for our daughters science fair project and she was chosen to go to region. So don't be fooled into thinking such a simple device could not work! It does work! and it works well.

The three paragraphs below describe just one reason we should be aware of what is in the water we drink!
     High nitrate levels in drinking water has been proven to have harmful effects on infants. Infants who are given water or formula made with water containig high levels of nitrate often develop a condition called methemoglobinemia. It is also called "blue baby syndrome" because of the blue-gray or lavender in color of the babies skin. This is caused by a lack of oxygen in the blood.
     Who is at risk? Infants that are under six months of age are at risk of nitrate poisoning, though some babies may be more affected than others. Infants with "blue baby syndrome" should recieve immediate medical care or condition can lead to coma and death.
     People with heart or lung disease, and certain inherited enzyme defects, or cancer might be more sensitive to the toxic effects of nitrate than others. Some experts are begining to believe that long-term ingestion of water high in nitrate may increase the risk of certain types of cancer.
