Non-potable water is water that is not safe for drinking or human consumption. It is important to distinguish non-potable water from potable water, which is safe for drinking, to prevent health risks and ensure proper usage of water for different purposes such as irrigation, industrial processes, and sanitation.
Potable is from the Latin word "potare" which means "to drink." The term potable water refers to water that is safe to drink.
No. Once you pump anything but potable water with that pump, it's not good for pumping potable water.
One common substance used to make hard water soft and potable is sodium carbonate, also known as soda ash or washing soda. It works by reacting with the calcium and magnesium ions in the water to form insoluble compounds that can be easily removed, resulting in softer water.
'Potable' is usually used as such, referring mainly to water.
