The average tap water measures 3,000 to 4,000 Bovis, in the negative range. Bottled waters have been measured up to 5,000 Bovis, still negative. The neutral point for the human body is about 6,000. This low Bovis level of water (or of any liquid or food) actually robs your body of energy when you drink it, although this negative level water is still essential for life, so that you stay hydrated, etc.

Relatively inexpensive conductivity meters are available. They will give you an approximation of your TDS in your water and fertilizer mix. The short answer is yes, unless you have a sodium-based water softener.

Bottled vs. tap water. Municipal water is used as a source for approximately 25% of the bottled water sold in the United States. However most of this processed water has gone through significant processing such as reverse osmosis, deionization, activated carbon filtration and other treatments. Often it is packaged as "purified" or "drinking water". If the water has not been substantially altered, then it must state on the label that the water comes from a municipal water source.

Short answer--No! There are a number of "nasty" micro-organisms, especially acanthomeba (sp) which likes feeding on corneal tissue. Storing lenses in water also defeats the purpose of using a disinfecting solution as there is no disinfection occurring. If anything you are exposing your lenses to more potentially dangerous microorganisms.

Yes. It would be extremely difficult for a bioterrorist to contaminate our drinking water supplies to cause widespread illness. Huge amounts of water are pumped daily from our reservoirs, most of which is used for industrial and other purposes. Anything deliberately put into the water supply would be greatly diluted. Poisoning water supplies would require truckloads of biological or chemical agents that are difficult to produce and relatively easy to detect.

Tap water is not automatically safe. It may be contaminated with chemicals, bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and dirt. Have your tap water tested by a laboratory. Then ask a water company to design a filtration and purification system based on the lab results. If your water comes from a well, it may be necessary to have it softened, which means eliminating hard elements like calcium, iron, and magnesium.

WATER FILTERS: One way to avoid fluoride from the tap is to purchase a water filter. However, most water filters will not effectively remove fluoride. For instance, Brita filters will NOT remove fluoride. The two types of filters which will reliably remove more than 90% of the fluoride are reverse-osmosis filters and activated alumina filters. Thus, if you are looking for a filter to remove fluoride, make sure it uses "reverse-osmosis" or "activated alumina" technology.

Help. I didnt get a warranty card with my omega 8001 juicer. What I need is a warranty card to guarantee my 5 years warranty...as so stated in the owners manual. There was no warranty card in the box with the juicer.

The POSIX certification program complements other certification programs such as LSB certification, COE Platform certification and the UNIX certification program, all of which draw on conformance to the POSIX standards at their core.

The Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) serves 550,000 people in Central and East Contra Costa County. CCWD sells untreated water to Diablo Water District (Oakley), Antioch, Pittsburg, Golden State Water Company (Bay Point), and Martinez. CCWD also treats water and distributes it to Clayton, Clyde, Concord, Pacheco, Port Costa, and parts of Martinez, Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek. All water provided by CCWD comes from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.

Obviously an element has entered into the water to change the color. That element could have been converted from the metal rings; the water (chemicals like chlorine, or bacterial contaminants, or metal, etc.); or from human contact. Water sources may be different, every ionizer unit is at a different level of efficiency due to the wear of the rings, and every person is different.

In most places in Ghana tap water is not safe to drink. We recommend that you purchase bottled water for your consumption, but make sure that the cap's seal is not broken! You can request that your host family boil water for you each day to consume.

Any chlorine in our drinking water is too much, however the EPA guidelines allow up to 4 parts per million (ppm) in municipal tap water. This is a higher percentage than the 3ppm (parts per million) suggested as safe for swimming pools. There is an abundance of information on the internet with evidence that chlorine is linked to cancer, heart disease and many other health problems. Chlorine is needed in water to kill bacteria, but it should be removed prior to use.

No. Chlorine can cause damage to the Kombucha colony. The best way to clean your colony (to remove the brown stringy yeast etc.,) is to simply bathe it in some of the kombucha ferment it came out of. This practice will also serve to maintain the pH of the colony. Washing it in water--even cooled, boiled water, could change the pH and make it susceptible to mold growth.

There may have been a change in pressure in the line due to hydrant flushing, a fire, turning on a valve, etc... The Water Quality Assurance Lab may have additional information about the rusty water. The number is 645-7691.
