How and How Much to Store Sea Water + at home, secrets, methods

Is it possible to store sea water?

Sea water has healing properties, but unfortunately, not everyone has year-round access to the sea, so many people wonder about storing sea water. Sea water can be stored for no more than 20 days, after which the beneficial properties of the water disappear. In this case, you must follow a few simple rules:

— It is necessary to collect water away from the shore and at a depth of more than a meter. It is advisable to choose unpopular places with clean water.

— Sea water cannot be boiled. Although some suggest pasteurizing seawater to disinfect it, this kills most of the beneficial properties.

— Store water in a cool, dark place. Direct sunlight is detrimental to the healing properties, and it also promotes “blooming,” so don’t be surprised if algae starts growing in the bottle.

- Do not freeze the water. Just like pasteurization, freezing kills the necessary elements.

- Use an airtight container. Although plastic bottles will work, the key is to screw the cap on tightly.

In any case, seawater cannot be stored for more than 20 days. As an alternative, many people dilute sea salt, but such “diluted” water has much less beneficial properties.

What to do with sea water

- baths for the body, - baths for feet and hands, sea water for nails is very useful, - use for rinsing the nose, - as inhalation for respiratory diseases, - if you need to dry the skin, apply gauze soaked in sea water to the site of inflammation .

You can store sea water at home, but only in its raw form, that is, no pasteurization or other manipulations are necessary. Pour reserves of sea water, which need to be collected away from a crowded beach and at a decent depth (more than a meter), into a clean glass jar. After this, close the container tightly with a lid to prevent air from entering inside. Place the jar of seawater in a cool, dark place. It should not be exposed to direct sunlight - their exposure will have a detrimental effect on the healing properties of the water and will provoke its flowering. It is also not worth keeping water in the freezer, since the freezing-thawing process will kill the beneficial microelements in it for which it is so valued. You can also store sea water in a plastic container, the main thing is to screw the lid tightly, as in the case of a jar. The recommended storage period for sea water is up to a month.

Is it possible to store sea water?

Sea water can be stored without problems for an unlimited time. And what kind of sea water is it if it is pasteurized? It is no longer medicinal water. And it retains its properties in bottles. We collect it where further and deeper, and use it when necessary. The main thing is not to mix up bottles with good water, otherwise I once cooked porridge in sea water, even the dogs refused to eat it. Now I write “Sea” on bottles of sea water.

It is possible, but only after pasteurization, that is, heating to 80 degrees Celsius in order to kill microorganisms.

Although if you want to cause trouble for someone, then you should collect water on a crowded beach in the afternoon, at a depth of a meter or twenty meters, since most beachgoers recover at these depths, and campaign at them to spoil their children. This “sea water” should neither be boiled nor pasteurized, and if it is added to the enemy’s food, gastric adventures are guaranteed!

How long can finished water last?

If you keep it in the dark and stir it constantly, you can store it for a long time. As for your task, bottling, I don’t know. And IMHO, mixing in 5-liter bottles is much easier than mixing in 50-liter bottles. What is it: poured water for five minutes, poured salt, swirled it in his hands for two minutes until the turbidity went away, and then poured it out. When I had a small aquarium, this whole action took me about 10 minutes, including draining the water. And now, with a large aquarium, changing is fun for the whole weekend.

What is the shelf life of the water in the aquarium then?

It also cannot be stored for more than a day?

It's all strange.

Do you also store balling solutions for no more than a day, especially the third classic version with salt without salt?

After answering these questions, the answer to the question posed will be found by itself.

And balling solutions, especially soda, precipitate perfectly

So mixing is not a problem. Feasible.

Well, it falls out, but they store it for a very long time.

It’s just impossible to create such conditions, and microorganisms that both eat and crap will begin to multiply in the water.

And therefore the water will begin to deteriorate.

Now it’s winter, those who have a cold balcony or loggia can safely put water there, and nothing will happen to it - and it won’t freeze or “go rotten.”

With respect, Nicholai.

I don’t answer “aquarium” questions in PM. Write to the forum, please.

both solutions contain a mixture of water and INORGANIC compounds.

What expiration dates exist for water and how should it be stored correctly?

Water is one of the most common substances in nature .

It plays a vital role in the history of the Earth and the emergence of life on the planet.

She took and is taking an active part in shaping the environment - chemical and physical, weather, climate.

Water forms seas and oceans, rivers and lakes, its vapors are part of the air, it fills the cells of all living organisms.

Even human bones contain 45% moisture.

Moreover, this simple substance is an essential component when it comes to technological processes .

Distilled

Distilled water is obtained by distillation in special devices called distillers.

The liquid is cleared of mineral salts and trace elements, after which it acquires properties similar to those of melt water from mountain peaks.

Distilled water is an excellent solvent.

from ordinary water in that it has a higher boiling point and a lower freezing point.

Areas of application of distilled water :

Theoretically, distilled water can be drunk .

In particular, it is used to dilute Italian grappa, a type of brandy.

But still, it is not suitable for daily drinking.

After all, it lacks mineral salts and microelements - essential components of a complete diet .

It has been noticed that the less of them is contained in water , the higher the risk of developing dangerous diseases of the heart, blood vessels, and caries.

The production of distilled water is regulated by GOST 6709–72 .

If distilled water is used in pharmaceutical chemistry , then its shelf life is 3 days after preparation.

For use for other purposes, the shelf life is unlimited .

Water is stored in closed polyethylene bottles , as well as in ceramic, glass or enamel vessels.

odor over time .

To avoid this, calcium chloride tubes filled with lime are inserted into the lid and covered with cotton wool.

Definition

As you know from a school chemistry course, water is hydrogen oxide , which has the formula H2O, that is, it consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

Under natural conditions, it also contains salts and gases.

It is usually odorless, and in small quantities it is colorless and transparent.

Water performs the functions of a solvent, reagent , and heat conductor.

Due to such demand, water is a popular commodity .

But different industries use their own special water :

distilled - for technical, household and medical needs;
bottled - for daily drinking ;
mineral - depending on the chemical composition for drinking every day and for medicinal purposes;
for injections - as a component of medicinal solutions.

Many consumers are interested in: does water have a shelf life and what determines it? More on this later.

Bottled

Bottled water is that which is bottled in plastic bottles and intended for distribution through retail chains .

Organizations often purchase entire packages of sets of water bottles.

The capacity of the dishes in which it is packaged varies - from 0.33 ml to 19 liters.

In this packaging you can purchase water for various purposes:

But most often bottled water is associated with drinking water .

It depends on the purpose of the product, the quality of the container, and the presence of preservatives.

However, the reason for the deterioration of its taste may be dishes .

As you know, the shelf life of the plastic from which bottles are made is limited.

After the period specified by the manufacturer, this material releases chemicals that affect the taste and safety of the product.

This happens much faster if you violate the storage conditions of the bottles, leaving them in direct sunlight and at temperatures above + 30 o C.

Online stores often sell water in glass bottles .

In such containers, water is stored and retains its freshness longer without the addition of antibiotics.

Another question that worries consumers is how long can water from an open container ?

It is better to store this water in the refrigerator and consume it within 3-5 days - the exact period for using the product after opening the bottle is indicated on the packaging.

After that, the water can also be drunk, but it is better to boil , since pathogenic microorganisms can get into it.

If you are concerned about foreign odors in the water, then try to return the purchased water.
