Most water softeners are not designed to improve the taste or smell of the water. Most customers won’t drink the tap water if it is softened or not. The most important thing to remember is that softened water will have slightly higher sodium or potassium levels then the plain tap water. If you are on a sodium or potassium restricted diet you should use a Reverse Osmosis system for your drinking water or consult with your physician. See similar questions...

Many people have over the years, and many still do. The water is strong tasting. A public drinking fountain on Main street, just west of the Inn at Soap Lake has a spigot for both regular and Soap Lake water. More than once throughout the summer, people will drive up with several empty gallons jugs they will proceed to fill with Soap Lake water. See similar questions...

I have heard all kinds of controversy about distilled water - most everyone I know who is against it also happens to sell some other type of water filtration device, oddly enough. I marketed all kinds of water products in the late 1980's; water softeners, filters, reverse-osmosis and distillers. I researched the products very well. See similar questions...

adequate water intake is essential during any type of detoxification program to help dilute and eliminate toxins properly and thoroughly. The Colonix fiber should be mixed with at least 8 ounces of water, juice or your favorite beverage and swallowed quickly, because of the immediate thickening action. Drinking 8 – 10 glasses of pure (filtered or bottled) water is a must, everyday. See similar questions...

I receive a lot of E-mail from a wide variety of people, some offering compliments, others brickbats, but many with questions, mostly about devices for water softening and purification, or relating to schemes for altering water in some way in order to make it more readily available or beneficial to the body. Many of these questions tend to be similar, so I have prepared this list of "frequently asked questions" in the hope that it can save us both a bit of time and effort. See similar questions...

Aside from a few cups of black coffee, I drink nothing but water all day. I love it and it's great for me. I drink about 1.5 gallons of water a day. Back to index See similar questions...

Proper hydration is very important, especially in Houston. Traditionally no water is drunk during Ashtanga practice. Come well hydrated and also drink plenty afterwards. In my experience as a teacher water is mainly a way to get a break from the practice. If there are special needs please discuss it with your teacher but avoid putting a water bottle next to your mat and pausing every six breaths to drink. See similar questions...

The salt-water drink is a great laxative which provides an inner body cleanse but if the taste of the sea salt water is uncomfortable for you, you can substitute it for another cup of the herbal laxative tea instead. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...
