In the summer season, cold water gives relief, but not everyone likes to drink water from the refrigerator. In such a situation, the water from an earthen pot is not only cold, but it is also natural, healthy, and beneficial for the body. However, have you ever realized that the water from the pot in some people's houses is so cold that it beats the refrigerator, while the water in some people's houses feels just slightly cold? There is no problem with the pot, but it is some common mistakes in the way the water is cooled. Many people make some mistakes while buying and using a pot, which does not allow the water to cool. Let us know the 3 common mistakes that people make when the water in the pot is not cold.

# Not choosing the right pitcher

Many people get happy just by looking at the look or design of the pot while buying it, but in reality, the secret of the coolness of the pot lies in the quality and texture of its clay.

- Always choose a pitcher made of well-baked clay, with thick walls and a slightly rough surface.

- Smooth and colored (polished) pitchers do not keep water cool.

- Desi pitchers, which are made by local potters, are far better than the decorative pitchers available in the market.

# Preparation before using the pitcher

Bringing a new pitcher and filling it with water immediately is a common mistake.

What should be done?

- First of all, keep the pitcher immersed in water for at least 12 hours, so that its clay can absorb moisture and the walls can become active.

- Dry the pitcher well in the sun.

- Only after this fill water in it.

- With this process, the pitcher will be completely ready to retain coolness.

# Keeping the pitcher in the wrong place

If the pitcher is kept in direct sunlight or in a hot place, the water will not stay cool.

What is the right way?

- Always keep the pitcher in the shade, in a place with cool air.

- If possible, cover the pitcher with a wet cloth, this will keep the water cool.

- Place a wooden plank or stand under the pitcher, so that there is a flow of air from below.

Other important tips

- Wash the pitcher with neem leaves once a week, so that the water remains pure and fresh.

- Adding a pinch of rock salt to the pitcher gives more freshness to the water.

- Change the pitcher in 2–3 months, so that bacteria do not accumulate and the taste of the water does not become bad.
