Making Salt Water Safe To Drink
Those living near oceans or other areas where salt water tends to seep into their water supply, whether through a municipal water system or into private wells, removing the salt and other harmful bacteria is an opportunity to insure the drinking water and the water used in cooking, requires a salt water purifier connected to the system.
Many home water softeners filter water through salt to remove the dissolved minerals calcium and magnesium, which typically make the water considered hard. With a salt water purifier, salt is usually not used, since the salt water purifier is attempting the desalinate the water anyhow. Reverse osmosis is the usual method of removing salt, as perfected by the United State Military. Vacation homes and municipal water treatment plants near the ocean typically use this method as well as a chlorination process to kill bacteria in the water supply.
