Water filtration
Hi!
What sort of water filters can I use to avoid catching typhoid bacteria and other water borne pathogens? How about boiling water? What all I can do to save myself from getting typhoid? Please be helpful and post genuine answers.
Thanks

Boil water minimum 20mints..if you have the steel filter with candle inside its the best.. If not use a clean white thin cloth and strain the boiled cooled water.. And store in clean utensil or glass bottles.. Even if u have a aqua uv filter I personally believe boiling 20 mints and straining is the best...

Boiling water kills pathogenic organisms but in case you find it tedious then you can go for RO filters with UV. Maintain hygiene and keep utensils clean.
