How Much Bacteria Is In Your Drinking Water?

[@wolfwaya]

here's another important thing. we had pipes for how many years now? It's not like people will start dropping dead all of a sudden just knowing about it. Also we been around for how many thousands of years? our gut is adapted to dealing with bacteria.

[@kper3475]

remember not all bacteria is harmful most has no effect on us

[@travo2112]

maybe so, but also remember, that the knowledge you possess is suspect......

[@ziquaftynny9285]

+noobkiller117 Smart is relative you fool.

[@OmegaMegalodon]

+Kper not to mention, bacteria provides a source of proteins for us to digest too. lol

[@aidenbeatty7465]

you do sound smart and I agree with you :D

[@ziquaftynny9285]

[@rusydan1231]

fluoride is in your toothpaste.. I dont think fluoride can do shit in order for the govt to mind-control us.. :0

[@nortan27]

+rusydan1231 you don't eat the toothpaste though.

[@rusydan1231]

+nortan27 small amounts of toothpaste are still there after brushing teeth and im sure its swallowed, btw I just mean that fluoride doesn't do any harm and just dont be paranoid, but be cautious :0

[@traciemorgan3426]

okay then....

[@robhaddorackk2366]

The amount of bacteria in tap water can vary a lot from country to country, citizens build up a resistance, which is why you should be carefull what u drink when abroad. Also what is this science channel?

[@navacamal36]

Yes, but how much is bad and how much is good?

[@Spirit532]

And then there's homeopathy. The water somehow retains the trace of useful materials way beyond the avogadro limit, but manages to forget all the amount of shit and piss that's been in it.

[@dankquest2078]

last time i was this early i found out i was adopted

[@robcrusta3039]

i am a retired master plumber. i worked withe sewerage from the age of thirteen and never had a probkem with bacteria. obe time i was even in a ditch doing an emergency repair to a hospitals forced sewer main and the side of the ditch caved in on me sisplacinv all ofhis disiesed water over my ehole body even in my mouth nose eyes and ears. i was pissed but i didbt catch anything. now the older i get my immune system isnt what it used to be and i keep getting syaff infevtions every few years. my sity just insualled a new water main to my home and it failed for bad bacteria after six daus of drinking and showering in it. i had a small scratch on my left bicep and this bacteria got in the scratch and started eating my arm. i just giy out of thhe hospital after six days of bags of powerful antibiotics being dripped into my veins and surgery to instal a drain in my arm to drain all the disgust out. i am still on oral antibiotucs and still gave tge drain in. I will find out in.a dew days if i am out of the woods or if i will lose my arm or worse. these pathogens and naciilli are serious shit. if they ecer work on your water main make sure you dont use it until a lab has tested it.

Hello, I'm not sure if you are able to read this. I have a question: How exactly does a water filter work? How does it give that fresh watery taste? Will it be able to remove harmful chemicals and bacterias? What can it not remove?

[@joshuadomenico2862]

5 years late but honestly i’m not sure

[@StepBackHistory]

Hello there Fremen, Water, Trace is the Mahdi!

[@taschke1221]

I'm more concerned with acidity than bacteria

[@discoHR]

"mostly harmless" today, "elite" tomorrow.

[@SteelmanHarvey]

Congratulations on the television role, Trace!

[@GreatPirateSolomon42]

In wine is truth, in beer is strength, in water is germs.

[@thijsbos]

+GreatPirateSolomon lol, this is funny because both wine and beer are made by fermenting. Which is a process involving yeasts. XD But then again, yoghurt, cheese and bread amongst others are also made using microbes, so have fun avoiding those too.

[@tamzidrahman2673]

can I have Diet water

[@joshuahowson22]

I prefer water zero. diet water causes cancer of the finger nails.

[@popanollie1]

my mom has one of those pitcher style filters. she does not put it in the fridge. is the bacteria now growing in it?

[@zukodude487987]

Stop avoiding the issue of MCR-1 it is seriously getting out of hand.

[@joshuahowson22]

[@KhanPiesseONE]

+zukodude487987 SourceFed covered it.

[@zukodude487987]

[@OmegaMegalodon]

not to mention, bacteria provides a source of proteins for us to digest too. lol

[@JEFFREY-c-ESTES]

No one is talking about Dnews on the Science channel, surprisingly. I think it is great that Dnews is getting more exposure, but the awesome thing about the KZbin channel is that people can interact in the comments, and the Science channel will not offer that experience.

[@Munchausenification]

The amount of bacteria in the pipes is due to old and rusty pipes. If you replace the pipes with PVC or any other hard plastic, then you will see a massive fall in the amount of bacteria. Also the way water-treatment is done is taking into account where the water comes from. Since most of US's water comes from the surface there is a lot of other bacteria than countries using underground water. The most effective way to kill bacteria living in water is boiling it but that is very very expensive. Second best treatment is UV-radiation and/or chlorine treatment. At the same time those two kinds of treatment costs very little in comparison to boiling. Mostly all water-treatment around the developed world use UV-radiation and filtration just as Trace said. But when it comes to chlorine it is almost only a method used when treating surface water. Oxidizing can be used instead or with chlorine and is more cost effective than chlorine treatment, however chlorine treatment is almost solely there to kill bacteria while oxidizing is mostly used to remove heavy metals. Im sure the US use both methods of treatment, but in Europe, Russia and alot of other countries doesnt have to use chlorine since we use mostly underground water. There is also filtration systems they are working on in Singapore(they got some of the most advanced water-treatment plants) along with european countries where they made some ultra fine filters that zero bacteria (we know of) can get through. Overall good video, covers the basic "production" of our tap water and also some information i had to look up.

[@REIDAE]

water all these bacteria doing here?

[@dalphan819]

Haaaaa

[@glascoebowie9359]

Germs cycle through your body to the water from the water into the air into the soil into the food a cycle of death.

[@BunnyFett]

I like drinking water that hydrates me AND doesn't make me die from diarrhea. Awesome!

Ha jokes on you , I have an on tap water filter!

[@EllenRipley1979]

wow I wanted to know that all my life know i can die in peace

[@cj6745]

That opening was great.

[@kokokokow1760]

bacteria doesnt put me off tap water, but the chlorine smell and the bad taste do.

[@MrJherime]

Congratulations Trace, that's awesome dude.

[@gabzpot]

Is dust, dead skin?

[@TraceDominguez]

+Gabriel Campos yep. and other things.

[@RxDrUAMS]

Well if you've got copper pipes throughout your home; the copper will kill a lot of the bacteria on contact. Not all the bacteria of course; but a substantial amount. Home-builders have switched from copper to plastic tubing in the last ten years or so. Mainly to keep cost down. Copper is going for a pretty penny these days.

[@ss3nkaya456]

Time for *sprite cranberry*

[@helloworld6272]

Using a Reverse Osmosis system on my faucet. Doubt I have any bacteria in the water.

[@geoffstockton]

I haven't been willing to drink tap water in about 15 years. And I'm not a wealthy person.

[@FeLiNe418]

our ancestors used to drink water mixed with piss and poop and we worry about tiny harmless bacteria in our drinking water

[@ripcavite]

Where can we get shirts like yours? 😂

[@sacdaddyesq3490]

I live in Flint they didn't test our water supplies to keep us safe

[@ZachAttackO0]

Water has been around for decades and bacteria has too nothing new

[@JayAntoinette]

Great DNews. Just great. I make a resolution to drink at least 4 bottles of water a day and what do I see in my subscription feed? This video.

[@TraceDominguez]

+JayAntoinette sorry :( sorta ;)

[@mysticmermaid5475]

+Trace Dominguez LOL XD

[@DaveH82]

Trace is wearing a STEM t-shirt and the URL ends in STeM. I think the KZbin algorithms are trying to communicate with us.

Does AU have fluoride in the water?

[@infxmhc]

That's it! I'm not drinking water anymore! Hooray Beer!!!

[@saxophoneguy]

wow congratulations on being on the science channel

[@Drunk.Casperr]

Government fucking up my tap water with all that damn fluoride.

[@PhenomRom]

Dnews has upgraded to being on tv ? Noice.

[@naimanaznin2934]

Some bacteria' s are safe right? So when we filter water..is all bacteria got killed? Or few of them will never die..if it happens how is amount of those bacteria? Coz you said that in every m.l. of water there is 8000 bacteria

[@bobbyrayparris6711]

Well I think it's fine ... I drink it least a gallon a day of water and I am fine but i can't watch you on the science channel cause I don't have cable

[@ginduf]

i'm more concerned with the fluoride in water. a topical only application should not be ingested so the practice of adding it to our drinking water needs to be stopped.

[@Spirit532]

+kricket250 Right. Right. Except the amount of fluoride(s) in toothpaste is tens of *orders of magnitude* higher than in the water. You forgot that.

[@ginduf]

+Spirit and still it's suggested for parents to not use fluoridated water in baby formula. there's the issues with the fact that it only works on teeth TOPICALLY on teeth but when you ingest it, it's toxic and the fact that it builds up in the body with continued ingestion. it's in our drinking water and in any foods processed with fluoridated water... by all means encourage people to brush with fluoridated tooth paste but don't add it to my drinking water without my permission. fluoridealert.org/issues/

[@DefektoPrime]

Well, if we don't get sick, then we are probably safe. No need to get paranoid. Mmm, delicious water...

[@inboklee3053]

We would of seen a problem even if we didn't understand why if these bacteria actually harmed us. No reason to be fearful.

[@infrieser]

isn't it how much bacteria ARE in your drinking water?

[@oboe23able]

I think in this particular sentence, bacteria can be singular. Is is always used for bacteria is instead of are from what I've seen.

[@Strawburry643725]

no it would how MANY bacteria are you dont say how much dogs is

[@infrieser]

Strawburry643725 oh yeah i guess xD, idk, english isn't my native languague so i was just wondering, i wasn't trying to be a grammar nazi :P

[@odotawaissaku3755]

In the title, the word "bacteria" was being used as a collective noun which is treated as a singular.

[@Cdubb1967]

+infrieser "how many bacterium are" would be correct I believe.

[@zacharyayoubi7449]

+Idk .Don't ask me Bottled water is tap water mate

[@Electric-Wind-Hook-Fist]

Not really. They put things inside of bottle water. I'm sure you would realize the taste is different.

+Run Aubameyang Run depends on which water bottle company you're buying from mate

[@Electric-Wind-Hook-Fist]

[@Spirit532]

+Idk .Don't ask me Plastic bottles should not store water for more than one week, even less when exposed to heat and sunlight. Bottled water is distilled and re-mineralised water.

I just made a cup of coffee using tap water before I watched this video.

[@betadryl]

+emogirlhashervengz boiling the water removes any bacteria. Filtering removes the rest.

*ARE! Bacteria is a plural word. (Using is there because it's the single word I'm referring to.) It's 'a bacterium' and multiple bacteria. Damn, English isn't even my first language and I knew that. Possibly because I'm a microbiologist :p

[@thijsbos]

And yes, like Trace said this is perfectly normal indeed. In fact a large part of our bodies are made up of bacteria and we couldn't survive without them. Nor could nature.

[@Bloodmoondream]

Dead water is what we drink. Molecules damaged from pollution, only repairable by a certain magnetic process that has been suppressed from us because of money reasons/the big ph(f)arm. If we went for clean energy from the beginning, we wouldn't have to worry about this.

How about differences in bacteria in water between tier 1 countries like in northern Europe, which are known to have very good water vs tier 2 countries like America which arent as good, which is why bottles of water are so common. I used to live in the Netherlands where I haven't bought a single bottle if water in 15 years because tap water is even better. Now I live i n America and the water is much different and I drink solely bottled water.
