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.

The color change in the water can be attributed to a multitude of variances including, the water quality you are using, your health status, and the weather conditions, just to name a few. Because the Q2 Water Energy System is using electricity, there is a precipitation of impurities that will settle out of the water due to an electrolysis effect. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

Using water from the tap needs to be treated. Leaving water from the tap sit overnight will not permit all the chemicals of city water to dissipate. Your local pet store will have many different products to choose from, but Stress Coat aquarium water conditioner is recommended. This product not only removes chlorine it detoxifies heavy metals and replaces the natural protective slime coating fish need in times of stress. Bettas experience some stress during water changes.

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. 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...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

If you operate the foot bath without your feet in the water, it will turn the water different colors, yellow to orange to brown because the element usage, minerals, and other impurities in the tap water will precipitate out. However; you can see the difference between this and a footbath session. Please note that if the tap water is particularly impure, the difference in water color between feet and no feet will be less noticeable, just like adding a handful of dirt to already dirty water.

A. Fire hydrant flushing and water main repairs can disturb sediments in water mains, resulting in red or brown-colored tap water. If you detect red or discolored water, turn on a single COLD water tap for a few minutes to flush any sediment out of your pipes. While red or discolored water is not a health concern, it can stain laundry. See similar questions...
