The blistering heat of Indian summers always manages to get the better of you. Even when you’re driving your air-conditioned car, the sight outside heats you up from within. You can actually feel the unforgiving sun beating down upon everything which has failed to find cover. And then, all of a sudden, your eyes land upon a reassuring familiar sight.
Earthen pots, neatly arranged in rows, are now a common sight in most cities. These clay-made pots are popular in rural as well as urban areas. The art of cooling has never been so simple. So within seconds of consideration, you park your car and then make the purchase. And why not? There are several benefits of having this natural refrigerator at home. Let’s take a look at five such benefits.
Cheap
If cheap really is your middle name, then you’ll simply love earthen pots. Earthen pots can be bought for anywhere around Rs. 150 to Rs. 300 depending upon the size, shape, and other factors which obviously include your bargaining skills.
Safe
Cold water stored in refrigerators is not really ‘cool’ to consume. Cold refrigerated water can give you the dreaded common cold which only seems much worse during summer. Even doctors advise people to go for earthen pots which are natural and safer water coolers.
Variety
Gone are the days when you just went out and bought the good old earthen pot. The usual round thing with a very strong smell of clay when you washed it first. Now, earthen pots come with a lot of variety. You have the conventional earthen pot which is still appeasing customers. Then you have the ‘tap-wala’ earthen pot which makes it more user-friendly. Also, you have colorful earthen pots which can even be used as decorative items. Lastly, there are different sizes which you can buy as per your need.
Chuck Those Bottles
With an earthen pot addressing your cool water needs, you really don’t need to maintain a dozen water bottles. No need to wash the bottles and fill them on a regular basis. You need a glass or just one or two bottles and you’re good to go. So feel free to replace those uninteresting bottles with colorful earthen pots.
Cool Water When You Need It
We live in a country where power cuts are as common as cows on the street. But there are times when you need a glass of cool water right away. But a long power cut means that your fridge may fail to cool your water for you. It’s times like these when you realize the value of an earthen pot which sheds out cool water in very less time and more importantly in large volumes.
