If you already have a clay pot, found one at a thrift store, or had one handed down to you which hasn't been used in a while, it's best to soak the pot for 15-20 minutes and scrub the pot well, to remove any dirt and ensure it has absorbed enough water.

There is a retired professor, Curtis Smith, that has done alot of olla research here in the American Southwest. He retired from New Mexico State University and is now, part time, at Wayland Baptist University Albuquerque. They did some porosity testing of ollas in Socorro, New Mexico at the college, there. I can’t recall the name of the college. It’s a Science and Technology school. Build an evaporative refrigerator - no moving parts, no electricity | Rebuilding Civilization".

Essentially a roasting dish that employs steam cooking, these clay baking dishes were billed as the ideal cooking vessel for those searching for a hands-off cooking experience and requiring no additional fat.Evans, Lindsay.

Lead enters water when water pipes and tanks of lead corrode and as a result of industrial processes, such as mining, smelting and burning. Lead is very poisonous. Our tap water contains and average of 4.63 micrograms per litre. Our test on water conditioned in the amphora, brought the values down to less than 1 microgram per litre. On average our tap water is pH 7. Water which had been conditioned in the amphora overnight showed an increase in alkalinity to pH 7.8. Scientifically minded customers will know that the pH scale is logarithmic, and so this represents a large increase. Alkaline water is much better for us. Reduces Bacteria

The amphora-conditioned water is more energetic and carries more electrical charges – the conditioned water saw a rise in conductivity from 698 to 742 uS/cm. The result indicates that the conditioned water is richer in electrolytes. By contrast, reverse osmosis and distilled water carry very low electrical currents and water treated to reduce conductivity is not as healthy for us and not considered fit for drinking. The hotter the weather, the greater the ability of the amphoras to cool water. An experiment conducted on the 1 litre amphora, showed that indoor when the room temperature was 23°C the water inside the amphora was at 19°C when the amphora was taken outside, the external temperature was 41°C the water from inside the amphora measured 22°C. The amphora is almost like a natural refrigerator, reducing the temperature of the water by 19°C. All without using expensive electricity! Drinking water from earthen pots can have a positive impact on metabolism and immunity. The alkaline nature of the water helps in the detoxification and elimination of toxins from the body, which can aid in weight management and overall metabolic function. Furthermore, the presence of minerals in the water supports the body’s immune system, strengthening its defence against illnesses and promoting overall well-being. Invigorating Cooling Effect As mentioned above, the original Römertopf brand of clay cookers was originally developed and produced by the Eduard Bay company in Germany in 1967.The first is the size of the pot. It would help if you made sure that the pot is large enough to hold the amount of water you want to filter. Bacterial colony counts were also kept lower in the amphora than in untreated tap water. Water from the tap should be free of the bacteria, however, colonies do appear over time. On average tap water forms 1 colony of bacteria at 22 degrees Celsius over 3 days and 3 colonies at 37 degrees Celsius over 2 days. Water conditioned in the amphora overnight showed less than 1 colony at on days 2 and 3. Water conditioned in the clay amphora shows none of the following bacteria at all: Coliforms, Eschererichia coli, Enterococci or Sulphite reducing Clostridia. If you live in a hard water area, you will see white deposits on the outside of the amphora, even after cleaning. This is normal with terracotta and does not effect the function of the amphora. Any special tips on water purification for home brewers? Using a clay water pot has many benefits, including the ability to filter out impurities and improve water taste.

Like you, I’ve scoured the Internet and I have not found very much information that is useful. Ollas work by the principle of ‘Osmotic Potential’ where water moves from areas of high pressure (wet) to areas of low pressure (dry). Eventually, all water moves vertical through the soil profile. So, I use the olla as a miniature aquifer from which a plant can drink. That’s why I plant really close to the olla rather than what some people on the Internet recommend such as 18″. Variations in the need for improved vegetable storage can arise due to seasonal growing and harvest cycles, vegetable production surpluses relative to local demand, and climate variations. It is important to determine if proper operating conditions exist for evaporative cooling to effectively provide benefits during the time when vegetable storage is needed, and if the need for improved vegetable storage is frequent enough that the value an ECC or clay pot cooler can provide is greater than its cost.Yes, it is good to drink water from a clay pot due to its natural purification, potential mineral enrichment, and the ability to maintain a slightly alkaline pH level, which can promote better digestion, hydration, and overall well-being. a b c d Eric Verploegen, Peter Rinker, Kukom Edoh Ognakossan. "Evaporative Cooling Best Practices, Producing and using evaporative cooling chambers and clay pot coolers" (PDF). {{ cite magazine}}: Cite magazine requires |magazine= ( help) It saves on the amount of fertilizer to be applied [some studies suggesting up to 50% less] per unit area of land if the fertilizer is applied in clay pots and is later absorbed as solute via water movement to the plants. I recommend that you figure out at what temperature your clay matures and becomes vitreous and then step-down the firing temperatures, incrementally, until you arrive at a useful porosity.

Tests on our amphora have shown that they do perform natural water purification. They purify, detoxify, condition and energise tap water. The main increase of minerals in the amphora-conditioned water was in magnesium. Magnesium is important for heart and circulation health and its bioavailability is greater in water than in food. Please note, the amphoras do not soften tap water. Cools Water, Improves Taste, Texture and Aroma So if you're looking for an easy and convenient way to improve the quality of your drinking water, then a clay water pot is worth considering! Earthen water pot, also known as a clay pot, offers numerous benefits for drinking water. The health benefits of drinking water from clay pots are significant and widely recognized, making it a popular choice for hydration. Earthen water pot provide natural cooling properties, helping to maintain the water’s refreshing temperature. Earthen water pots possess the unique ability to keep water naturally cool. The porous nature of the clay allows water to evaporate through the pot’s surface, leading to a cooling effect. This feature makes it an ideal choice for summer months when refreshing, chilled water is essential. Unlike refrigerated water, which can sometimes be too cold for the body, water from earthen pots maintains a pleasant and comfortable temperature. Alkaline and Mineral-Rich Watera b Soin, Kanwaljit.

Some chloride occurs naturally in water, but all water companies introduce chloride to kill bacteria and to deodorise the taste and aroma of the water. Conditioning tap water in our clay amphoras, reduces the chloride levels and makes the water much more palatable. Anon (2001). "Best inventions of 2001: Food Cooling System". Time: Lists. Time .
