Before chosing a plan of action, you must have some idea what you're dealing with. White flakes can be organic (mold, algae or some other living thing), or an inorganic mineral deposit flaking off (calcium or magnesium combined with carbonate, sulfate or silicate). To check whether it's an organism or not, capture some of the white stuff and put it in 4-8 oz. of spa water in a clear glass container. Add about 10-20 drops of household bleach (Clorox) and mix.

Flakes are caused by calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate precipitates. When hard water is frozen or boiled, the carbonates in the water come out of solution, appearing as whitish flakes and attaching to containers. This calcium is the same as that in dairy products and is harmless. Soft water does not have any calcium or magnesium carbonate deposits, but the use of soft water is not recommended.

The largest flakes (F) are quite large, we often hear them referred to as "Ranger bass boat" flake! The smallest flakes (UMF) are about the consistency of a fine sugar. Even the smallest (UMF) flake is substantially larger than pearls, and offers a much greater "sparkle" when viewed under bright lights or outside in the sun. The smaller the flake size, the more user friendly it is from a painters perspective, and the less costly it is for the customer.

I would treat my Hollands for fur mites if they showed those conditions (plus twice per year as a prophylactic) . I use Ivermectin 1% for goats (injectible). I give 0.08 ml for a 3 lbs. rabbit or 0.1 ml for a 4 lb. rabbit. It works out to just about 3 drops per rabbit, given orally. I repeat after 8 to 10 days. I have seen many recommended doses that are too high. Please consider that 1.0 ml is the appropriate dose for a 75 lb. goat! One a 3 ml syringe, 0.1 is just to the very first hash mark.

It is most likely sediment from your water heater - chemicals added to tap water tend to clump and fall to the bottom of a water heater when it is not being used. It may also be from the dip tube inside the heater. The best solution in this case is to replace your water heater and clean out your pipes. If you live in an area with hard water, it may be caused by calcium deposits as well.

Yes, on the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe and Zambia. This experience is available while you are at Victoria Falls. It’s a wonderful experience, but you need to be fit.

Just about anyone of reasonable health and fitness can go rafting. Children must be least eight years old and weigh at least 55 pounds in order to ride Class 3 rapids. Young people must be at least 14 years old to ride Class 4 rapids. We do not suggest taking a rafting trip if you are pregnant, extremely overweight, or have back or heart problems. Since you will be wearing a safety jacket, being able to swim is not a requirement for taking a White Water Rafting Trip.

You will be active, but, if you are in moderately good physical condition, you should not find White Water Rafting to be strenuous.

Lots of folks do. Potato flakes are a nice, easily soluble starch, so they're popular in many starters. I've personally never experimented with them (and now that I'm diabetic, I probably won't, since potato is murder on the blood sugar - ouch). Potato flakes are also a great last-minute rescue if you make a gravy or stew that's a little too thin! A friendly reminder: Sourdough is a closed email topic.

We do the most Grand Canyon river rafting trips during June, July, and August, when many families plan their vacations. During the summer, daytime temperatures range from 80 to 100 degrees, with a 10 to 20 degree drop at night. The lack of humidity, coupled with frequent swimming or wading, helps keep you comfortable. Temperatures are milder in the spring and fall, but it is still pleasant to be in the canyon. Many wildflowers are in bloom in April and May.

This is a temporary and harmless condition called aeration, which is air dissolved in water. If you let a glass of water stand for several minutes the air bubbles will rise to the top, and the water will become clear. Yes. Charleston Water System adds one milligram per liter (mg/1) or one part per million (ppm) of fluoride to treated water. This is the amount recommended by the American Dental Association to provide maximum protection from tooth decay.

Costa Rica offers some of the world's finest whitewater rafting and kayaking rivers. These rivers plunge through spectacularly beautiful, largely unexplored tropical wilderness.

If a glass of water appears milky, watch it for awhile. If the milkiness clears at the bottom first and gradually goes away, the milkiness was caused by air in the water. This condition has no health significance. Air in the storage tank or pressure tank (or well) has dissolved into the water. When the pressure drops (from in the pipe to in your glass) the air comes out (undissolves) forms tiny bubbles, floats to the top and rejoins the atmosphere.

White or milky looking water is caused by air. The milky appearance is the result of millions of small air bubbles released into the water by cooler water temperatures or air trapped in the distribution system. If a glass of this discolored water stands for a short period of time, the air will migrate to the top of the glass then dissipate.

Viking kayaks are designed to perform in lower-grade white-water. By using a knee strap kayakers have extended their use to more turbulent conditions. Some white water tour operators report that in the event of a capsize, people find it easier to climb back into Viking kayaks and they don't have the problem of trying to bail out or retrieve heavy, water filled kayaks from a fast flowing river.
