The charcoal filter should be installed AFTER the softener. If you put it before the softener it will remove the chlorine and bacteria can form.

[@tedeng9428]

SOMETHING YOU NEED TO MENTION = After you've been filtering water for a period of time, the filter elements of your system will be filling up with captured radioactive materials. The filter elements are now dangerous and need to be handled with care, stored away from you and your family, etc.

[@RealitySurvival]

Yep that is a fair point. The amount in them will be quite small and shouldn’t be a problem unless you are sleeping near them or something. But if it was kept in a garage or shed or something it would be good to go. Then just bury it when they start to get clogged.

[@century2298]

Russia has cried nuke a zillion times, and they only do it because it looks “strong” at home, and to try to scare Western voters to vote out anyone who doesn’t give in to their threats….so they can make more and more threats. It is all bluff.

thanks for the great info! i did not know about radioactive gasses dissolved in water. you mentioned a gallon of water a day for drinking/consumption, which is a good estimate to start with. what i have learned by trail and error to see if that is possible for me, is that i needed about 2.6 gallons a day for drinking, cooking and brushing my teeth. i came to this figure by practicing living on just minimum amount that i could. what i have been storing for food needs water, foods like rice and mountain house meals. cooking needs are something to think about. and coffee/tea. i am a caffeine addict. i hope others will try for themselves to see how much they will need based off their plans and what they have stored for food.what i need to do next is figure out how much i need for showers, washing clothes, washing dishes, using the bathroom, and general cleaning. i am estimating about 50 gallons a day.

[@chesslover8829]

If you think you'll need 50 gallons a day, that means you'll need 4,500 gallons for just three months. Sure hope you have property and a great well.

[@Wendy_Blank]

If you can't find the water softener resin beads, I am thinking a package of polystyrene beads, the static clingy little beads that are used to stuff toys and sometimes to pack around electronic parts (at least they were back in early days of computing). You can find them online as well as in craft stores. The mechanics or physics of it may well provide similar if not the same purpose when applied as a filtration medium. ???

[@RealitySurvival]

Hmmm. Not sure about that.

[@Supergeologist]

The reason why river estuaries are so muddy is due to a process called 'flocculation'. Negatively charged clay particles suspended in the river water meet positively charged ions in the sea water (calcium, magnesium etc). This cause the clay particles to react, clump together and settle out as estuarine silt and mud. What has this got to do with nuclear fallout? Well Strontium and Caesium (typical radionuclides associated with fallout) are positively charged, so filtering water through a clay filter should remove the main fallout components.

[@RealitySurvival]

Excellent explanation! Thanks!

[@Supergeologist]

@@RealitySurvival hi thanks for your like. Flocculation is a great word, see if you can slip it in to your conversation today....10 points to gryfyndor😀

Good video, wonder how long after filtering water with fallout, etc would the filters become a source of background radiation themselves? I'm thinking we'd need extra filters than the usual gallon amounts for removing say regular sediments and other non radioactive items? Thanks

[@RealitySurvival]

They would eventually have enough to be a concern but as long as they are not stored anywhere close to where you spend a bunch of time it is not likely to cause too much of a concern. But they should be disposed of in a manner like burying them so as not to be an issue.

First radioactive materials will fall out “settle “and collect in the silt and depending on weight. So drawing water off the top will provide good results at lean water. Info is from Dr Bruce Clayton book life after doomsda.

What about in winter when everything is frozen. I just ordered two 5gal Scepter water containers and I received four by mistake, no problem, emailed sender. Then I wondered how am I going to get the water out of them in the middle of a Canadian winter when it goes down to -30 celsius if there's no electricity. Even all these filters would freeze instantly. I think I should do what some Canadians do as a safety precaution and that is go to Florida during the winter.

[@lunapatriot6709]

@RealitySurvival Good idea. I'm a member of a volunteer group CERT ( community emergency response team ) We to help local LEO and first Responders in disasters and emerging situations. We have a training called REVC ( Radiological emergency response Corp ) We are trained to assist in shelters and gathering radiation levels after a radiological event. CERT was established in 2017 as a result of the earthquakes Mexico, when it determined that if the community was better prepared they could have survived longer until medical help got to them and save many lives. Every state in the US has CERT mostly larger couties ( just because the word of mouth hasn't gotten out enough yet ) I'd be glad to get some information to ya and let ya check it out. WE'RE THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND UNTILL THE LEO and FIRE DEPT. and EMS and THE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES GET TO DISASTERS.

[@RealitySurvival]

Yeah CERT is great. I’m pretty familiar with it. I have recommended people get involved with it for quite a while. Make sure to use an actual Geiger counter for checking food and water contamination. As a radiological survey meter that you might use in CERT would not be sensitive enough to pick up trace amounts.

The easiest way to think about is the dog crap analogy. Contamination, in this case the fallout, is the crap. The radiation it gives off is the stink. The biggest problem is stepping in or handling it, because it spreads just like tracking dog crap through the house. Most modern nukes are made of materials that can be metabolized, so if it is ingested you'll take the rads while it's in your system but it will pass through. It won't stay in your system and continue to emit. Just take your iodine supplements to keep saturated. I'm only moderately concerned about fallout from modern nuclear weapons. Ten years in that field.

We will survive! But, would we want to survive? That is the question!

[@RealitySurvival]

Of course we would. Why wouldn’t we? It wouldn’t be nearly as bad as fear mongers try to make it sound.

[@naomisalsera826]

If a lake is frozen, will the ice layer protect the water underneath from radiation exposure?

[@RealitySurvival]

It would keep the alpha and beta radiation from getting into the water. But I certainly would not assume that the water is safe to use or drink personally.

[@naomisalsera826]

@@RealitySurvival Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, the assumption is that I would still have to treat the water against the usual pathogens/contaminants. I was just specifically asking about radiation penetrating inches of ice.

[@RealitySurvival]

@naomisalsera826 yeah I just wouldn’t take the chance personally. If it was frozen over by a couple feet maybe. But you could still get infiltration through the edges and ground water runoff and such.

Only if you choose to. Watch the whole nuclear survival skills playlist. If you do you will know what it takes to survive. Even if you live in an apartment.

what percentage are you on now? it has to be greater than 5% for a nuclear war now.

[@RealitySurvival]

Prolly in the 10% area give it take.

[@RealitySurvival]

But still most likely that if it happened it would be likely in Europe not here in the US.

Can't remove the tritium.

[@RealitySurvival]

That is true. And this process may not get everything. But it is the best way to make water as safe as it can be. The option of just not drinking will 100% lead to death. But very small levels of radiological contamination is VERY survivable.

[@weirdscience1]

@@RealitySurvival agreed. Honestly i didn't even watch the whole video. Nowadays 99% of any video pertaining to radioactivity are b.s propaganda. Being as you were honest in your response i will watch it fully.

[@weirdscience1]

@@RealitySurvival , true to my word i watched it fully. Very informative and honest content. Thank you it can definitely help anyone in such a situation greatly deminish their exposure.

[@RealitySurvival]

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback!

@@RealitySurvival if you are injesting potassium iodide, a little radioactivity left in your water shouldn't hurt you.
