“Black water” is a term that describes water that contains fulvic acid (FvA) and sometimes otherminerals or vitamin additives. Black water is also known by other names, such as “fulvic water” and “natural mineral alkaline water”. Black water has higher pH and alkalinity, making it less acidic than most bottled drinking water or tap water. Black water has been getting a lot of attention from health
conscious people, naturopaths, and scientific research for its purported health benefits (in addition to the hydration we all need). There are many studies on the benefits of fulvic acid (the active component of black water) for many health conditions. While studies are ongoing, current research shows that fulvic acid has promise for improved health and reduced disease. Studies suggest that fulvic acid may: Fulvic
acid has been used in traditional Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. Ancient ayurvedic texts mention Shilajit – a tar-like substance containing 15-20% fulvic acid and found primarily in the Himalayas – as an immunomodulator, antioxidant, diuretic, and hypoglycaemic. Fulvic acid is a naturally-occurring substance found in humus – a layer of decayed organic matter in the earth’s
crust. It’s the fulvic acid that makes black water dark or blackish in colour. It may take a little adjustment to get used to the dark tint of black water, but it is safe to drink. Black water producers add fulvic acid to water, so a better question is “Where does the water come from and is fulvic acid safe? Natural spring water is thought to be the cleanest, healthiest water to drink because it undergoes a natural
filtration process which removes impurities. Spring water is also rich in trace minerals. Spring water comes from underground aquifers – a water-saturated layer of rock and sediment beneath the earth’s crust. Natural springs occur when the aquifer overflows and reaches the earth’s surface as a spring. Artesian wells are sometimes drilled and rely on pressure in the aquifer for the water to rise to the earth’s surface. In essence, an Artesian well coaxes a spring to form. Fulvic
acid alone in moderate doses appears to be safe according to several studies. A 2016 study “The Human Skeletal Muscle Transcriptome in Response to Oral Shilajit Supplementation” found “no adverse effect related to the dietary supplement”. Shilajit is the main source of
fulvic acid. A 2015 study evaluating the effects of Shilajit on testosterone levels also reported no adverse effects at 250mg twice daily as did a study on
Shilajit’s effects on spermatogenic activity. Blackwater in a sanitation context denotes wastewater from toilets, which likely contains pathogens which may spread by the fecal–oral route. Blackwater can contain feces, urine, water and toilet paper from flush toilets. Blackwater is distinguished from greywater, which comes from sinks, baths, washing machines, and other kitchen appliances apart from toilets. Greywater results from washing food, clothing, dishes, as well as from showering or bathing.[1] Blackwater and greywater are kept separate in "ecological buildings", such as autonomous buildings. Recreational vehicles often have separate holding tanks for greywater from showers and sinks, and blackwater from the toilet. Definition[edit]According to one source:
Water coming from domestic equipment other than toilets (e.g., bathtubs, showers, sinks, washing machines) is called greywater. In some sanitation systems, it is preferred to keep the greywater separate from blackwater to reduce the amount of water that gets heavily polluted and to simplify treatment methods for the greywater. Terminology[edit]Blackwater is a term dating to at least the 1970s[2] and, in Hong Kong regional usage, an alternative term for blackwater is "soil water".[3] Treatment processes[edit]Blackwater contains pathogens that must decompose before they can be released safely into the environment. It is difficult to process blackwater if it contains a large quantity of excess water, or if it must be processed quickly, because of the high concentrations of organic material. Composting[edit]However, if blackwater does not contain excess water, or if it receives primary treatment to de-water, then it is easily processed through composting. The heat produced by naturally occurring thermophilic microorganisms will heat the compost to over 60 °C (140 °F), and destroy potential pathogens.[citation needed] Blackwater generation can be avoided by making use of composting toilets and vermifilter toilets. In certain autonomous buildings, such as earthships, this is almost always present and allows the water requirements of the building (which, with earthships, are self-generated) to be heavily reduced. Besides saving water, composting toilets allow the user to reuse the nutrients found therein (e.g., for growing crops/trees). See also[edit]

Where do they get black water from?Blk. water's dark color comes from the addition of fulvic acid produced by the biodegration of dead organic matter (yummy, right?). The product reportedly provides a bevy of trace minerals and electrolytes while also helping to balance the human body's pH levels.
What is black water Where does black water go?Blackwater is any wastewater that is contaminated with water discharged from a toilet. Compared to greywater recycling, it's usually easier to recycle blackwater because most plumbing systems don't separate greywater streams e.g. showers and basins.

What is the point of black water?According to the manufacturer, Blk is water with electrolytes, to help you stay hydrated. It's high in pH, which helps the body neutralize acidity and stay in balance. And it gets its color from fulvic trace minerals and contains more than 60 other trace minerals.
