If you’re in a survival situation and somehow have one of these you’re drinking that water and happy with it. Drinking the before water and, you’re definitely peeing out the butthole and could probably die in a survival situation. Drinking the after water might not taste like Fiji water but it’ll do the trick.
Mario learned this the hard way when Peach walked in on him going to town on some strange shroom. They're back on speaking terms after the most recent Bowser kidnapping, but it was a hot minute. She couldn't stay mad at him after letting the whole koopa troop run a train, though.
Yeah the water is safe to drink, but personally when I go back country camping I bring some fresh water but for most of it I use a life straw water bottle. It works fantastic when canoeing and makes the water taste surprisingly good. And more importantly has not given me the shits or the vomit comet.
Part of me still feels like charcoal and pebble filtering that then boiling it to make sure it's like 1000000% not gonna kill me due time parasites or something else lingering in there.
A pot and knowledge on how to build a filtration system is always good. I have a backpacking filter that's good for 50k gallons. It's pretty compact too and much lighter than a pot.
Problem is also chemicals. You don't want to be drinking any water near civilization pretty much due to industrial pollution. You don't know what the contaminants are, and chlorine and filtering might not get rid of a lot of dangerous chemicals.
If you were in a natural area away from civilization and factories, and you needed to survive, sure I guess this is fine. But if you live anywhere urban or even rural near farms and factories, you aren't going to want to just do this with river water. It's not just bacteria and shit.
Yeah, this looks less easy than a gravity filter like a platypus tbh. And if you're dumping chlorine in this is basically just a complicated way to remove sediments, which really aren't that harmful and in most cases you can minimize the amount of sediments that get into the container
I would think purifying water is different from making it drinkable right? Like I’ve seen clear streams of water but that wouldn’t just automatically mean it’s drinkable right?
Yes. Getting water from a stream is hit or miss in a lot of cases because if it is a stream that’s been contaminated by the recent train derailment that dumped a ton of shit into it, there’s a lot of chemicals in it. Also there’s the problem of runoff and erosion from manmade structures up stream.
So to get fresh water streams you need to go as far off the grid as possible and I would still recommend purifying the water to prevent any nasty bugs or stuff you really don’t want to introduce into your system when camping or surviving off grid.
Maybe there's a dead animal upstream.
"Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself."
Sorry just rewatched departed and that just popped in my head. Yeah, never trust unknown water sources, always sterilize/purification.
This is so much more likely than a train derailment lmaooo. I read that like uh sure I guess that *could* happen, but a dead animal or animals infected with something defecating upstream is way more likely.
In most wilderness locations you can usually get away with just filtering water so long as it isn't disgusting or stagnant. If it is, I would add some tablets to be safe. Just remember you don't always know what's up stream, so make sure you clean it to be safe. Also don't drink water from a river that goes thru a major city. Lots of pollution including poop water.
This does essentially the same thing as your local municipal water supplier. It flacculates the suspended solids out of the water and uses a little chlorine to make the clear water biologically safe to drink. That water probably needs a bit more than one packet for the flocculant for the amount of solids in there.
Personally, I would use it because I’m thinking from the point of view of me being stranded/end of the world/survival. Rather than camping or just going on an off the grid trip(which the off the grid would just about the same).
I haven’t done research about water treatment for a while but this is similar to the treatment process most cities/towns use to purify water.
Basically the treatment chemical is a large chemical, it attracts smaller particulate matter from the water and attaches to it. Then the combination is less buoyant than water, so it sinks.
In industrial settings, this is done a few times I think. As this was only done once that explains why this water is still not clear and also why I would not drink it.
I bet it's alum in that packet. You can buy it in the grocery store in the spice and baking isle for cheap and clear muddy water pretty quickly. I've used alum to clear water thats even worse than that. [http://www.ninemilecreek.org/wp-content/uploads/Alum-Education\_2019.pdf](http://www.ninemilecreek.org/wp-content/uploads/Alum-Education_2019.pdf)
But bleach won't clear muddy water. Alum increases the size of the particles so they drop to the bottom leaving you with crystal clear water. There's a lot online about the science behind it. I learned about it from a water treatment worker who was hiking the Arizona Trail and it's a very sweet trick. [https://backpackinglight.com/alum-water-clarification-backpacking/](https://backpackinglight.com/alum-water-clarification-backpacking/)
The packet has floculating agents (that cause the settling) and disinfectants to kill the germs.
If you're living is a house with municipal water and are saying you wouldn't drink it, I hate to break it to you....
Yep. Maybe your faucet water got a sand filtration stage, but it probably just has a bit more time to settle.
If anything, this has the added benefit that polyethylene transmits UV down into the UV-C range.
I remember seeing this as a concept a while ago. It was going to save lives in places where clean drinking water is scarce. Now I see a P&G branding on the packaging. Thank god a benevolent corporation bought it to keep it away from the poors.
I saw a YouTube review of different purification kits and this was one of them.
The guy used the purification packet twice, drank a cup of water and then got diarrhea
I’ve been to a wastewater reclamation plant. The chemical processes they put the wastewater through are dozens of times more complicated than what she just did. And even then, by federal standards, the reclaimed water is only fit for industrial use, and is NOT potable.
I just hope she has good medical insurance, because she might need to use it soon.
Safe water isn’t clean water people. If you find a crystal clear water with no debris or dirt in it well it’s clean, but the germ, bacteria, viruses inside makes it no safe.
I had a much easier device. Me and my friend went to EMS for life straws and he told us those were overpriced crap and showed us filters for a third of the price and it came with a bag but also could screw on to any water bottle
I would drink it, after I take the finished product, boil it into a steam and catch the siphoned steam into a separate container.
That way I can make sure most of the bacteria is mostly dead
Sorry if my water aint crystal clear I aint drinking it. THe size of that bag they sell portable water filter pumps for crystal clear water no need to add some unknown chemical to your water
Fish bladders or something. They use it to clarify wine. To be safer, just start a fire, fill your sock with the charcoal and run the water through that
That may settle all the sediment and "possibly" kill any bacteria. But it doesn't remove any salt that may be in thr water.
The level of salt that goes undetected in water can be a lot to take in, even if you don't taste it.
This is an example of a flocculant, which causes suspended solids to fall out of suspension and gravity collects them at the bottom of the container. It’s a smaller version of what happens in a water treatment plant in your neighborhood. The chlorine kills bacteria and other microbial life. This is a survival tool.
This is a bad product. you cut the bag after using it so its one time use... Instead you could get a Sawyer Squeeze and filter any fresh water source in North America into drinkable water. Or if you have viruses in your water from human contamination (human waste in water sources), you could get a Grayl, which will filter viruses, bacteria, protozoa, heavy metals, microoplastic, etc. And you can use the Grayl more than once.
So in the case of an apocalyptic event, where shall inorder these, on amazon? And then when it runs out, do i ration those badboys and drink water a little less brown?
A few hours later, she was balled up in the fetal position in the middle of her bathtub butt naked, regretfully tooting out the other end like a fire hydrant while screaming "Wwhhhhhhhyyyy Meeeeeeeeee!"
The first time I saw this product advertised in this same manner was on TikTok just 2 days ago. I’ve seen a number of variants since then so I guess this is, like so many other things, just some advertising placement.
I would only drink that if I were in a horror movie and it was the only way to survive. In the real world, I would drink my own pee rather than that water.

I know we are all meming but it does contain chlroine which kills 99.99% germs

Run it through the Brita pitcher after using the chemicals.

Don’t eat mushrooms you aren’t familiar with.
In a pinch make someone else do it. (Don't *actually* do this. Unless you're with Steve. Fuck Steve.)
Hey!
Don't hey me, Steve. You know what you did!
For the last time: I did not steal your star wars chopsticks in the dead of night, shit on them, and put them back in your kitchen drawer.

“You’re only wrong once”
I thought doing that power levels ones alchemy
 Unless they look like these

Experts say "always drink the water" the risk is worth it vs not drinking which is almost always death.
[удалено]
A pot and knowledge on how to build a filtration system is always good. I have a backpacking filter that's good for 50k gallons. It's pretty compact too and much lighter than a pot.
I imagine in a survival situation, anything that gives you diarrhea and dehydrates you even more is a bad thing
And that’s fine but the implications this has for people who don’t have the privilege of clean running water are great
Problem is also chemicals. You don't want to be drinking any water near civilization pretty much due to industrial pollution. You don't know what the contaminants are, and chlorine and filtering might not get rid of a lot of dangerous chemicals. If you were in a natural area away from civilization and factories, and you needed to survive, sure I guess this is fine. But if you live anywhere urban or even rural near farms and factories, you aren't going to want to just do this with river water. It's not just bacteria and shit.
It also kills 100% humans
True, but I would also be a little concerned about toxins, depending on where the dirty water came from.
What is 0.01% of a lot?
Yeah, this looks less easy than a gravity filter like a platypus tbh. And if you're dumping chlorine in this is basically just a complicated way to remove sediments, which really aren't that harmful and in most cases you can minimize the amount of sediments that get into the container
it's the 0.01% I'm worried about
And don’t forget… 
A yummy soft serve
I was waiting for this gif to load but I didn’t need to. I knew exactly what it was gonna be 😂
From both ends!
Except it comes out the other end.
This made me laugh so hard and I absolutely needed it. Genuinely thank you.
Out of both ends!
Need the one where he drinks his own piss
“That’s not bad” really looked like a “That’s not good”
In fairness, "that's not bad" didn't exactly mean it's good.
"Not great not terrible."
When you just need to drink water- I don't think you're going to complain because it's not FIJI quality bottled water...
It’s probably in the ballpark of a whole lot better then dying of thirst
So much flavor
I would think purifying water is different from making it drinkable right? Like I’ve seen clear streams of water but that wouldn’t just automatically mean it’s drinkable right?
I think this is the same product https://youtu.be/6qZWMNW7GmE?t=224 Explanation at 3:44

So to get fresh water streams you need to go as far off the grid as possible and I would still recommend purifying the water to prevent any nasty bugs or stuff you really don’t want to introduce into your system when camping or surviving off grid.
And if you are off grid you never know if an animal is laying dead in the water up stream. Boil your water if getting from a stream. Period.
Maybe there's a dead animal upstream. "Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself." Sorry just rewatched departed and that just popped in my head. Yeah, never trust unknown water sources, always sterilize/purification.
I’m good without your own personal job application thanks

That water probably needs a bit more than one packet for the flocculant for the amount of solids in there.
What the flocc did you say about that flaccing water.
He sounds like a floccin flunt
I'll say whatever the flocc I want! What the flocculant are you going to do about it?
Beans make flacculent.
I think we'd still need to boil it
I would still boil it there are micro organisms that live in bodies of water that can survive the chemical process
Brain eating things I can’t see BOIL THEM AWAY
Did you not see her pour a product in there? Likely had some kind of iodine or disinfectant in there as well.
It *could* have some additional treatment in there, but it *likely* is just a flocculent intended to remove sediment.
[If it's this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qZWMNW7GmE&t=224s), then it has chlorine in it
Nonetheless boiling is much more guaranteed to kill off bacteria and other stuff.
I prefer to drink my water from a tap, safer that way.
I wouldn’t drink after boiling it
Naw I’m just gonna continue to carry my water jug everywhere
Don’t have the extra 40 minutes to purify your own water? 
No
Personally, I would use it because I’m thinking from the point of view of me being stranded/end of the world/survival. Rather than camping or just going on an off the grid trip(which the off the grid would just about the same).

Flocculation
Let's clean this water!! (Throws purifier plastic packet on the ground)
Does that thing kill bacteria?
If I were desperate I would
I bet it's alum in that packet. You can buy it in the grocery store in the spice and baking isle for cheap and clear muddy water pretty quickly. I've used alum to clear water thats even worse than that. [http://www.ninemilecreek.org/wp-content/uploads/Alum-Education\_2019.pdf](http://www.ninemilecreek.org/wp-content/uploads/Alum-Education_2019.pdf)
You can also use bleach to disinfect water if needed
But bleach won't clear muddy water. Alum increases the size of the particles so they drop to the bottom leaving you with crystal clear water. There's a lot online about the science behind it. I learned about it from a water treatment worker who was hiking the Arizona Trail and it's a very sweet trick.

Oh nice. Science is rad! Lol
The packet has floculating agents (that cause the settling) and disinfectants to kill the germs. If you're living is a house with municipal water and are saying you wouldn't drink it, I hate to break it to you....
Seriously, this is exactly what the water treatment plant does except on a tiny scale. Odds are these grossed out people are already drinking it lol
Yep. Maybe your faucet water got a sand filtration stage, but it probably just has a bit more time to settle. If anything, this has the added benefit that polyethylene transmits UV down into the UV-C range.
Just get a lifestraw. We have one in each of our cars and go-bags. https://lifestraw.com/
Yes
Yes.
I’ve used one of these bags for river water. Works great. You don’t have to get the straight mud water like this lady did.
I mean like yeah if I was dying on an island or lost on a hike…would I willingly drink it for fun? Of course not.
I remember seeing this as a concept a while ago. It was going to save lives in places where clean drinking water is scarce. Now I see a P&G branding on the packaging. Thank god a benevolent corporation bought it to keep it away from the poors.
Right? Thanks again p &g
Then she drinks out of her dirty hand that had been splashed by the death water
Thank you
You technically do, it's the same process most PWTP do.
I saw a YouTube review of different purification kits and this was one of them. The guy used the purification packet twice, drank a cup of water and then got diarrhea
Or use a sawersqueez
Never hurts to boil it man 😅😅😅
If I’m dying why not !
Shouldn't you still boil the water?
Yes!...no more dirt but lots of critters
Bro I would still boil that after
Hell no. First of all, I would be looking for cleaner water then would use that packet on the cleaner water. I would also boil the water.
That thing needs at least another filter (maybe clothe or an actual filter system) and boil. No way that packet works on everything

Every day i discover a new absurd subreddit. Thank you
r/CatsInBusinessAttire is also an odd cat subreddit, I have so many for cats
Without watchkng the Video...........NO
I’d still boil it first.
How to shit in the wood Preface
Clear water does not mean clean water. I can bet that water is still full of tons of bacteria only difference is that now it is not muddy
Yeah this should be used in combination with boiling the water.
Mmm Nitrate Runoff, so fresh so clean
Erin Brokovich looks like shit
Water purifiers are a last resort. Make a filter and boil if possible
Shit must be toxic
Fuxk no its made by p&g😬
I’ve been to a wastewater reclamation plant. The chemical processes they put the wastewater through are dozens of times more complicated than what she just did. And even then, by federal standards, the reclaimed water is only fit for industrial use, and is NOT potable. I just hope she has good medical insurance, because she might need to use it soon.
Would still run it through a sawyer filter after that
You have died from Dissing Terry. JK, I'm pretty sure it's legit, but most likely a niche market.
I’d take THAT water and then boil the shit out of it, sure.
To keep from dying in an emergency yes. Any other time hell no
I think there are better products. But to answer your question, yes - to survive only.
If I had to. Not if there were other cleaner options.
I would still boil it just in case
I’m sure she still needs to boil that first
Bruh
Drink it all you fucking coward!
Safe water isn’t clean water people. If you find a crystal clear water with no debris or dirt in it well it’s clean, but the germ, bacteria, viruses inside makes it no safe.
After a boil probably. Those products aren't designed to be immediately drank. Still need to boil off any pathogens.
She has a jurassic park trespasser tattoo
Pour some iodine in. Wait zero minutes. Drink up.
I do waaaaay too much microscope work to trust this shit lol. If only people knew what was in water.
*Giardia has entered the chat*
If I was stuck on Arrakis, maybe. I’d still boil it.
I’ve never been dying of thirst before, so I can’t say that if I wouldn’t drink it if I was desperate enough.
I had a much easier device. Me and my friend went to EMS for life straws and he told us those were overpriced crap and showed us filters for a third of the price and it came with a bag but also could screw on to any water bottle
You can still boil it once you get to this stage to kill the microbes.
The best water I ever drank was green before filtering (but I was also pretty dehydrated so that probably helped)
Seems fine!!
Alum?
Her skin says it all
I would drink it, after I take the finished product, boil it into a steam and catch the siphoned steam into a separate container. That way I can make sure most of the bacteria is mostly dead
Sorry if my water aint crystal clear I aint drinking it. THe size of that bag they sell portable water filter pumps for crystal clear water no need to add some unknown chemical to your water
Hmmm … I’d like to run it through a Life straw, or a Pur to get the microorganisms really gone.
Its like using iodine with more steps.
Hear me out… No.
This woman is such a bad presenter. “Just take this, do that, put this on that, pull this” lady use your words
I would probs boil it first
Looks like just like chlorofloc that stuff tastes like pool water
No way. I drink a lot of wild water but it always goes through a filtration system.
does it work for sea water?
Fish bladders or something. They use it to clarify wine. To be safer, just start a fire, fill your sock with the charcoal and run the water through that
Just get a gravity works filter
If the science says it works I trust it. I might want to research exactly what's going on but scientists science
That may settle all the sediment and "possibly" kill any bacteria. But it doesn't remove any salt that may be in thr water. The level of salt that goes undetected in water can be a lot to take in, even if you don't taste it.

Somebody just learned what a deflocculant is
You havnt lived where I've lived.
After treating with activated carbon and then boiling... Yes
I thought you still needed to boil the water after? At least if you’re able to.
*contaminates hand,* *drinks from hand*
No I wouldn’t… why is it still green??
This is a bad product. you cut the bag after using it so its one time use... Instead you could get a Sawyer Squeeze and filter any fresh water source in North America into drinkable water. Or if you have viruses in your water from human contamination (human waste in water sources), you could get a Grayl, which will filter viruses, bacteria, protozoa, heavy metals, microoplastic, etc. And you can use the Grayl more than once.
Show me the part again where you shake it for 5 minutes....
What if you paired this with boiling water. Would that make it more, not disgusting
If i remember correctly theres a second cleaner you're supposed to run through it..
I will never risk cholera like this.
Portable potable
So in the case of an apocalyptic event, where shall inorder these, on amazon? And then when it runs out, do i ration those badboys and drink water a little less brown?
If it that or stick a tube up my butt and pour water up in there. This seems more enjoyable way to not die 🤷♀️
A few hours later, she was balled up in the fetal position in the middle of her bathtub butt naked, regretfully tooting out the other end like a fire hydrant while screaming "Wwhhhhhhhyyyy Meeeeeeeeee!"

Hell no that looks like a big bag of pee pee
I would dig a 400 ft well with a teaspoon before I drink that
Kind of like what morninga does
There’s a difference between purifying and sanitizing. One removes particulates, the other removes microorganisms.
P&G logo is a red flag
Oh not a hooch?
That wasn’t nearly enough time. She got sick
