Q1 What is best waterpurifier for hard water more than 700 TDS? 3 Answers Kaamana Ahuja,Technology Analyst, CS Engineer, Home Lover, Avid Reader.Answered Jun 20 Well, having purchased a water purifier for my home just a few hours agoafter extensive research over the period of eight days, I would state that whenit comes to buying a water purifier for use on water having TDS more than 700,one of the most crucial factors to be kept in consideration is the prowess ofthe disinfection technology utilized for purifying the water - Water Disinfection Technologies The process of Reverse Osmosis(RO) removes up to 97% of the impurities present in water. Forthe remaining 3%, water purifiers come installed with additional methods ofdisinfection. The mosteffective among them all is passing UV rays through the water. UV rays are natural disinfectants and purify the water further to thehighest degree such that virtually all the impurities are removed and water issafe for consumption. Thus, one should consider purchasing a water purifier that makes useof at least (RO+UV) filtration technique. Configurations like (RO+UV+UF)/ (RO+UV+MF) are also present in some models and provide added purification.Also, the presence of a TDS controller in the water purifier helps maintain theTotal Dissolved Salts(TDS) value of water within the acceptable range of100–500. In terms of water disinfection prowess, the various technologies areranked in the following order - (RO+UV+UF) > Alkaline > (RO+UV+MF) >(RO+UV) >> (RO+MF) > RO > UV. Furthermore, the storage tank capacity one should purchase a waterpurifier with as per one’s family size, too needs to be kept in considerationwhile making the purchase - Storage Tank Capacity There is a thumb rule to follow - take into consideration the number ofmembers in one’s family. Based on that, below is mentioned the capacity of thestorage tank one should opt for in a water purifier that would accommodateone’s requirements- For a family consistingone-four members, a water purifier with the storage tank capacity up to 7litres would best cater tothe water consumption and food preparation requirements. For five-eight members, a waterpurifier with the storage tank capacity up to 10 litres would be adequate to cater to the needs,considering apart from direct consumption of water, most of the food would beprepared at home with water taken from water purifier. For a family with morethan eight members, it would be wise to decide on a water purifier thatcomes installed with atleast 12 litres capacity water storage tank. In addition to the insights shared above, factors such as the watercleansing prowess of the semi-permeable(RO) membrane, the durability of the heatsink installed in the water purifier, and the prowess of the booster pump inpushing the water across the RO membrane, too play crucial roles in determiningthe product one should opt for to cater to one’s requirement. I gained detailedknowledge about them from the post - Vibhor Shergill’s answer to The completeguide a buying a Water Purifier 2ND ANSWER-Venkateswara Swamy Swarna, former Scientist, Metallurgist, Quality / NDTManager at Department of Atomic Energy, India (1967-2008) Answered Aug 20, 2020 Now RO (Reverse Osmosis) filter based units are available and are quitesuitable for that application. Earlier, distillation was used. Then Ion Exchange based units came butwere mostly used for large scale industrial applications, units suitable for domesticuse being very few. I will not recommend specific brand and model - that choice is to be made by you keeping in view thebudget, other features desired, brand loyalty if any, service availability etc. 3RD ANSWER-SandeepKumar , lived in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh,India (1995-2020)Answered Feb 8 So, today, i.e., 20th June, 2021, at 3:41 PM, I placed the order for myWater Purifier, keeping the insights gained into perspective.

Q2 How often should youreplace your water filter cartridge? A2 Gopala Krishnan, formerAssistant General Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom (1966-2004) Answeredjust now It depends on many factors. 1 Cleaning of overhead tank. 2. Mud from bore well water and municipal water. If watertank and municipal sump is cleaned once a quarter, mud is practically less,paper filters have to be replaced once a quarter. Carbon filter once a year.Membrane/memory unit once in two years. Paper cartridges if good, can be washedand used. Ensure TDS above 50 after RO. Q3 What are some unusualveggies that taste very good when fried? A3 Kane Former 技术员Nov 17 Deep-fried cauliflower, manyfriends love to eat cauliflower in daily life. Compared with tomatoes and other "watery" vegetables,cauliflower has a relatively more minor water content and is a kind ofcauliflower that is more suitable for deep-frying. The method is simple. Afterwashing the cauliflower, drain the water, coat it with a layer of pre-seasonedbatter, and then fry in the pan. The fried cauliflower tastes very good; Idon't know if you have eaten it like this. Q4 Why is there a waterlevel difference between Atlantic ocean and Pacific ocean across the Panama Canal? A4 Scott Hanson FormerElectronic Warfare Technician at United States Navy (USN) (1990–1994)Sun There really isn't as far as that goes. There is, but it's just transient, temporary. astides change.That's NOT the reason the Panama Canal needs locks. You can't dig a sea level canal straight through from oneside to the other. The country is mountainous. Digging the canal at sea level all the wayacross would require it to be dug a hundred feet deep in the middle through thecenter of the country to reach sea level. No.The locks are not to prevent one ocean from draining to the other.That idea is utterly stupid. The locks are to step the canal up to the higherelevations, then to step it back down on the other side. Q5 What are the most extremeprice differences for a product? A5 Gopalkrishna Vishwanath Ihave just average common sense knowledge. I haven't formally studiedEconomicsWed I can get a plain vanilla haircutfor Rs 70, at the localhaircutting salon in Devanahalli where I live. The barber entertains me with localgossip as he snips my hair and does not charge extra for the gossip. In Bangalore, at a fancy salon, Ipaid Rs 350 and thebarber (or hairstylist as they call themselves) did not entertain me with anystories but wordlessly did his job after merely making inquiries about whatkind of haircut I preferred. In California, I paid $14 (Rs1050) for the same haircutand parted with two more dollars as a tip. In the retirement home where Inow live, I pay Rupees 63 (84 cents) for my lunch coupon to enjoy a sumptuous lunch. The quantity is limited only bywhat my stomach can hold. I pay about Rupees 900 ($12)for the same lunch served in fancier crockery at the posh restaurant in theSignature Club resort insideour township, where I am a member. I visit this restaurant about twice a yearon average on special occasions or when someone else is footing the bill.Service takes one minute in the Rs 63/- lunch in our dining hall while it takeshalf an hour sometimes in that posh restaurant. I get to enjoy fresh air andsunlight in the well-ventilated dining hall while in that post restaurant Ihave to strain my eyes in the dim light to read the menu card, and have tobreathe stale recirculated air that is emitted by the air conditioners in thatrestaurant. I don’t have to tip the dining hall staff in our retirement home. Ireward them with handsome gifts on festive occasions, whereas each tip in thatposh restaurant could buy me at least two lunches in our dining hall. The satisfaction of havingeaten is the same in both. I can travel from Bengaluru city to the airport by the new airport trainby paying the ticket price of Rs 10 (13 cents). I can also take a cab and pay between Rs 1200 to Rs 1600 ($16 to $21.3)for the same ride. I have a plain vanillawristwatch for which I paid Rs 250. ($3.33) It tells the same time and runswith the same accuracy as fancy imported watches withprestigious brand names whose costs I cannot pay but merely sigh when I learnabout them. I have a simple fountain penfor which I paid Rs 20. (27cents). It writes as well as an imported pen with a prestigious brand name andmy handwriting and the quality of my writing are the same whichever pen I use. I have plastic buttons on the sleeves of my full-sleeved shirts that costa few paise. (less than a cent). They keep the end of my sleeves as wellbuttoned as gold cuff links that I once saw in a jewelry showroom. I didn’twant to make a fool of myself asking for the price because everyone includingthe showroom salesman knew, from my typical middle-class looks, that I was not going to buythem. You can adopt a stray puppy for Rs 0.00 and also pay thousands of rupees for a pup with a pedigreefrom a reputed kennel. Both the pups will lick you with the same affection andbe equally loyal to you. This list can be never-ending! I will stop here and read what others canrecall. Q6 How has been yourexperience of driving an electric car from Tata or Hyundai, especially incities like Bangalore? A6 KanthaswamyBalasubramaniam , Lawyer Answered 3h ago My Brother in law is an EV freakand sold a perfectly good Mahindra SUV to purchase a Hyundai EV whose name i cannot recollect. I wanted to take a Voluntary drive and his first words were “Dont drivetoo fast or the battery gets heated” Not exactly first words one likes to hear when driving a car. Bangalore has the lousiest roads and on a Manual Car - Driving on 4thGear is a Skill and i cannot drive a Manual in a Bangalore road beyond 3rdGear. So you can never know the real impact until you drive on empty roads. So we drove to a place called Electronic City where a long, long stretchof an empty connecting road was (Bangaloreans should be able to tell where. Itsnear an Audi or BMW Showroom on Electronic City) And The Vehicle struggled to touch 90–100 and mybrother in law kept saying “Battery will get Heated”, “Battery will get Heated” Heres my experience (a) Battery is LOUSY and may getheated (b) Car struggles to give even 90–100 without shaking likea leaf. I could drive 110–120 Kmph on stretches of the Bangalore ChennaiRoads with my Volkswagon (now sold off) (c) You need to switch on and off the car to Detect theBattery. It says at times “Battery not detected”. Imagine being in themiddle of a Highway and the car saying “Battery not detected” And here is the best part - The Showroom called my Brother in law a fewweeks or days or months later and said “Sir you can bring your vehicle for aFree Inspection” and he asked “Why????” and they said “Sir…the Battery ishaving issues for some Customers” and he asked “What Problems???” and she said“Sir….some carbatteries are getting burnt and catching fire” He took his car and they said “No Issues” Even so the Car is rarely used. It rarely gives good speeds and it claimsto give 400 Kms but in most cases 290 - 310 is the bestbefore you see the low battery And he paid full money so he is stuck with a dead end car that has nosecond hand value (He advertised it on OLX but no buyers). His Mahindra SUVsold in exactly 48 hours when a buyer came, paid cash and took the keys. So unless this EVmarket stabilizes and you get some reputable EVs were Batteries don’t catchfire or the Range is really what they claim ICE is the Boss !! Q7 How do wild animals copewith sickness? Do they medicate themselves with plants? A7 Journeyinto the WildAnswered bySascha L Sun Animals know instinctively whatplants to consume whenthey feel certain symptoms andin that regard they are more advanced than mankind from who most of us havelost our connection to that kind of innate knowledge. Birds, bees, lizards, elephants, and chimpanzees allshare a survival trait: They self-medicate. These animals eat things that make them feel better, or preventdisease, or kill parasites like flatworms, bacteria, and viruses, or just toaid in digestion. Even creatures with brains thesize of pinheads somehow know to ingest certain plants or use them in unusual ways when they need them. Anyone who hasseen a dog eat grass during a walk has witnessed self-medication. The dog probably has an upset stomach or aparasite. The grass helps them vomit up the problem or eliminate it with thefeces. The science of animalself-medication is called zoopharmacognosy, derived from the roots zoo (“animal”), pharma (“drug”), and gnosy (“knowing”).It’s not clear how much knowing or learning is involved, but many animals seemto have evolved an innate ability to detect the therapeutic constituents inplants.

Don't waste a bit of food neither at your home in your plate nor at anyoccasion/ marriage party .. the amount you would waste are the amount a hunger could be fed . Q9 Is aluminum affected bymagnets? A9 FerencValenta Natural born engineer Nov 19 “Is aluminum affected by magnets?”ALL material are affectedby magnets. All material that consists of atoms are either paramagneticor diamagnetic. If the atomic dipoles are interacting and align to each other,the material can be ferro-/ferrimagnetic, and under special circumstances,antiferromagnetic. The ferromagnetic effect is somethousand times stronger than the para/diamagnetic effects. In everyday life we call ferromagnetic substances“magnetic” and everything else non-magnetic. However, the para and diamagneticeffects can be easily measured, and sometimes they’re just as spectacular asthe ferromagnetic effect. In labs the Gouy/Faraday/Evans balance can be used tomeasure the magnetic susceptibility. We used the Gouy-method at the universitywith great success. Demonstration of diamagnetism: acube made of bismuth is floating between two strong, stationary magnets. Bismuth has the strongest diamagnetic effect amongall metals. Other substances like pyrolytic carbon have even stronger effect.Both are considered non-magnetic, as with usual magnets the forces are too weakto detect without proper equipment Q10 Is hydroponics goodfor a plant's health? A10 PothurajuPradeep Kumar ,U.G Horticulture, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (2015) Answered 1h ago Obviously, hydroponics is goodfor plants health ,in thissystem nutrient solution given for plants at precise level where wastage ofnutrients is negligible when compared to fertilization at field level may leadto chemical residue effects.
