Tips to remove floating objects after boiling water

No matter what kind of water we usually drink, groundwater, filtered water or mineral water, heating is essential. Everyone should have the impression that after the water is heated, there will be floating objects on the surface. It is said that this layer of things has no effect on our health, but it seems that drinking these things will still affect desire. We can try to purify the water by removing floating objects after boiling.

Do not turn off the heat immediately after the water boils. Let it boil for another 5 minutes. This can effectively reduce the content of harmful substances in the water, especially the nitrite content. After the water is boiled, do not pour it into the thermos immediately. Wait for a few minutes for the scale in the water to settle before filling it with water. This will reduce a lot of floating objects in the kettle and scale at the bottom of the kettle.

That is, the kettle for boiling water needs to be descaled regularly. The most effective way is to use vinegar. Pour a spoonful of white vinegar into the kettle, then add an appropriate amount of water, boil it, and let it stand for a while, about 10-20 minutes, then wipe it gently with a soft cloth, and then rinse it with clean water. You can also add a spoonful of baking soda and burn it for a few minutes. The scale in the kettle is gone, and the boiled water is naturally much cleaner.

My family has a relatively simple method to slow down the formation of scale. Put a piece of loofah in the kettle. It is the net inside the loofah after it is peeled. It can be used to wash dishes and absorb scale in boiling water. Just clean it and replace it with a new loofah frequently.

You can also put a clean, unused cotton mask in the kettle to absorb the scale in the water. You can also wrap a small ball of cotton wool in gauze and put it in the boiling water. This will also achieve the same effect. However, after a period of time, the scale on the mask and cotton wool needs to be cleaned.

It is generally not advisable to reuse boiled water just to save time, because boiled water contains a certain amount of nitrite. If it is boiled repeatedly, the nitrite in the water will increase. If a large amount of this substance enters the human body, it will be very harmful to the human body and may cause suffocation due to lack of oxygen. Nitrite also has another dangerous potential toxicity. It can combine with amines in the stomach to form nitrosamines, which are strong carcinogens. Therefore, water that has been boiled repeatedly should not be consumed.
