P&G Water Purification Packet Test 2 💧

Testing out the P&G water purification packet again with a larger quantity of water. This is tap water with a handful of mud, dirt, grass and sticks added to it.
Approximately 2.5 gallons of water. This video took approximately 11 minutes of real time.
Note: according to the directions, be sure to strain the water through some type of cloth or coffee filter after the water separates and sits for 10 minutes
Inspiration for this test was taken from a video by Mark Rober. Watch his video here - • Drinking Nasty Swamp W...

That’s cool

[@BubbaJeremy]

This reminds me of some stuff called superfloc for pool maintenance...🤔

[@KFCLOVERMY]

The process is called 'flocculation'. So I'm guessing it's pretty much the same thing/process happening to clean the water in pools.

[@herbertant4096]

@@KFCLOVERMY i mean water filtration is much² better than this, this water contains lots of chemicals on them

[@yurimacena3157]

@@herbertant4096 yeah, but this can be made with a bucket and a sachet. It's kinda emergencial stuff i guess.

[@serakiel8430]

@@herbertant4096 P&G is selling these products at a loss, meaning they dont profit from it but they lose money from it instead. Its not a business move but a way to help people with poor water conditions in their areas have access to drinking water which I think deserves praise. If people had access to those filters they wouldnt need this product but thats not the case.

[@TheGoodTrader35]

You need to boil the filtered water after the process is done, you swines.

[@sunitasoren8892]

Please tell me what is that chemical solition name

[@nirbhaydhote3706]

I am not sure if this water is potable as this just seems to be clear not safe. What happened here is that a coagulant was used to coagulate all the suspended particles and impurities and settle it to bottom. Despite this there could be contamination due to bacteria and other pathogens which still poses a threat to body!

[@F59PHI]

The packet has chlorine to purify the water as well.

[@jawaun1875]

@@F59PHI yeah you can drink it if it looks this clear but they say to boil it to be extra safe

[@dianaraini3773]

@@jawaun1875 boiling does less sanitation than chlorine. Like 10 minutes of boiling kills less bacteria in water compared to chlorine in water for 2 minutes.

[@alfredoghost2306]

It's called flocculation. It's just supposed to remove a majority of contaminants

[@spongeyspikes09]

​@@dianaraini3773so to be clear After using this it's best to boil it for 10 minutes to get rid of the bacteria?

[@christopheresposito463]

How much powder per gallon?

[@gamingofthelegend3907]

Could you tell me where you got these from please

[@mr.johnsonssciencechannel]

These were bought on Amazon by searching for P&G water purifying packet. They are a bit expensive but very effective.

[@gamingofthelegend3907]

@@mr.johnsonssciencechannel ahhhh thank you very much :)

[@secretman5871]

can it clean a dirty river tho?

[@sefket01]

No, only lakes

[@draconicdestruction5352]

yeah if you use enough of it

[@adamlipchenko529]

It can clean a dirty river, but you would kill everything in that river including fish because of the chlorine

[@Oniontrololol]

If I drink this packet will it separate piss from turd? :)

[@meemn5187]

Yes

[@joaquincaceresguibovich3182]

Yes it's cleaned but I wouldn't say purified. You'll still need to boil it before drinking it

[@unknownalien5424]

It's purified. They use chlorination. Safe to drink it. Watch the video of Mark Rober where he the drank water from a swamp after cleaning it with this product.

[@emrieplayz2353]

Lol the comment numbers is the same as my subscribes

[@lostpockets2227]

is this real or fake 🤥

[@mr.johnsonssciencechannel]

It is called a P&G water purification packet and it is totally real and you can drink the water as well.

[@kuvvetmira45]

Yes. It is colloidal science. Van der waals attraction forces is created by adding this chemical. Particles of dirt are attracted each other. More valence electron of chemical means more electrical potential. For facilities that purifies water, they usually use alumina. Its valence is high.

[@sefket01]

Real

[@redwolf4611]

honestly i wouldnt trust it. whatever it's doing in that water it'll do in your gut.

[@sethgyellins]

And what exactly did it do? Separate the liquid from the solid. How would that effect your gut at all.

[@larrythelobster2329]

That's literally what our body do, are your pee and poop came out at the same time from the same hole?

[@spoon7313]

Watch the video on Mark Robber’s channel about it. He explains the mechanism. Pretty neat stuff

[@rory6984]

There are two chemicals in it. One coagulates the dirt and the other kills microbes.
