Turmeric and Food Colouring Tests: Putting the Phoenix Gravity Water Filter to the Test
Turmeric and Food Colouring Tests: Putting the Phoenix Gravity Water Filter to the Test
The Phoenix Gravity Water Filter is a popular choice for those seeking clean, safe drinking water at home or on the go. But how effective is it really? Today, we'll put it to the test using two common household ingredients: turmeric and food colouring.
Why Turmeric and Food Colouring?
- Turmeric: This vibrant spice acts as a natural indicator. Its bright yellow colour changes in the presence of contaminants, giving us a visual clue about water purity.
- Food Colouring: A few drops of this concentrated dye mimic dissolved solids and impurities commonly found in untreated water. It allows us to observe the filter's ability to remove visible contaminants.
The Experiment
- Preparation: We started with two glasses of water. In one, we added a pinch of turmeric, and in the other, a few drops of red food colouring.
- Filtration: We carefully poured each glass of water through the Phoenix Gravity Water Filter.
- Observation: We closely examined the filtered water collected in the lower chamber of the Phoenix system.
The Results
- Turmeric Test: The water that passed through the filter showed a complete reduction in the intensity of the yellow colour. This suggests the filter successfully removed some of the turmeric particles, indicating its ability to trap fine impurities.
- Food Colouring Test: The filtered water was complete clearer compared to the initial vibrant red. This demonstrates the filter's effectiveness in removing larger, dissolved coloured particles.
Conclusion
While not a scientific laboratory test, our simple experiment with turmeric and food colouring provides a visual demonstration of the Phoenix Gravity Water Filter's ability to remove both fine particles and dissolved contaminants. This reinforces the filter's claims of providing cleaner and safer drinking water.
Important Notes:
- This test is not a substitute for professional water quality testing.
- The effectiveness of any water filter, including the Phoenix, can vary depending on the source water and the types of contaminants present.
- Regular maintenance and filter replacement are essential for optimal performance.
