Raw water anyone?
People are paying through the nose for raw water which could make you ill
Wanna hear a good one? Raw water is now a craze. Yes, people are shelling out extra dollars to drink unfiltered water over your normal treated H20. http://metro.co.uk/2018/01/02/people...4/?ito=cbshare -- Bod |

The supermarkets here are stocked full of many brands of spring water, which is not treated with chlorine or similar. It comes out of the ground and is bottled, nothing new. Calling it raw water is just another marketing tactic. Similar to calling some sugar products "raw". So, people pour that on their food and the dumb ones think it's somehow suddenly healthy. In reality, it's not much different than regular sugar. Sure, there are some trace elements and such there, but so too are all the carbs of regular sugar. |

Bottled water is probably one of the biggest scams in the United States. It certainly is ridiculously profitable. I remember when Consumer Reports rated NYC tap water as one of the purest, best tasting sources of water in the nation, or something to that effect. |

It is very easy to remove the chlorine with a simple carbon filter. Most refrigerators with water on the door have them now. I get my water from a well and I suppose it is about as raw as you get from the hose bibs (directly off the well) but I treat it myself before I drink it. Still no chemicals tho. |

That is not surprising because both contain about 3PPM cl. In fact DC tap water test "ideal" with a 2 bottle pool test kit. I agree storing it in the pipes is one reason why they put chlorine in tap water even though most organisms do not thrive at over 20 PSI or so. That is why you get a "boil water" notice when the pressure drops. It is also because city water is "used" before you get it. There are a few places that do not have anything up stream of the river where it comes from but not many. If you are in New Orleans people have been pooping and dumping chemicals in your water for 1300 miles up stream. Maybe that is a good reason to drink bottled water there, assuming it was bottled in a city with better water. |

I dunno what the concentrations are, bu swallowing some pool water at a public pool tastes 100 times stronger than tap water. Easiest way to notice the difference is to get some in your eye. If they are using the recommended balance it should be exactly like tap water 3 PPM. Usually it is a whacked pH that burns your eyes. |

That is why you get a "boil water" notice when the pressure drops. 20 PSI doesn't do squat to "most organisms." You get boil water notices because loss of pressure allows organisms to enter the potable water system. Until that **** is cleared out the water is unsafe to drink. Dunno, that is just what the water company tells us. |

Yes, people are shelling out extra dollars to drink unfiltered water over your normal treated H20. http://metro.co.uk/2018/01/02/people...4/?ito=cbshare Makes a lot of sense when you look at the facts.* He states, "He told The New York Times: Tap water? Youre drinking toilet water with birth control drugs in them." It seems to be working.* My 71 year old wife drinks a lot of water and she is not getting pregnant.* There can be no other explanation. Ha! I'd think raw water would have fish **** in it too |

Maybe that is a good reason to drink bottled water there, assuming it was bottled in a city with better water. I dunno what the concentrations are, bu swallowing some pool water at a public pool tastes 100 times stronger than tap water. Easiest way to notice the difference is to get some in your eye. If they are using the recommended balance it should be exactly like tap water 3 PPM. Usually it is a whacked pH that burns your eyes. Or high levels of combined chlorine. Same thing with the smell. A properly maintained pool should not smell of chlorine, except maybe very slightly and it should not burn your eyes. In the UK, I've been to many public swimming pools, and they always smell strongly of chlorine. You can't be serious about it being the same as tap water, that ain't gonna kill germs! They should both be ~3 PPM. You just seldom have 30,000-40,000 gallons of tap water in the same spot with people splashing in it. |

Tapwater has to be low enough to drink, and it's also in clean pipes with nothing but water in them. Swimming pools have to deal with the constant influx of dirty bodies, and the water isn't going to be consumed (apart from an accidental mouthfull). They should be (and are) many times more concentrated than tap water. I take it you do not have a pool and never actually ran one. I did both and I have one in my back yard now. The recommended chlorine level is 3PPM, same as tap water in the places I have tested it. I said earlier, the water coming out of my tap in Washington DC tested "ideal" on a pool test kit. They like to brag about their water quality. It is right up there with New York City. |

So 5 times as much, not the same. 5 PPM for a pool is very high. As a matter of fact I dropped a decimal point it is 0.3 ppm not 3 I did not see it on my tester. This is from a UK web site "For this reason combined chlorine residual should be kept to a minimum, preferably below 0.2ppm" http://www.elecro.co.uk/guide-to-swi...ater-chemistry |

From smell, taste, stinging eyes etc. They must just assume Brits don't bathe often. |

Actually the biggest issue in commercial pools is suntan oil and other things people smear on themselves. You end up with a scum line along the tile. |

But I wouldn't want them building up n the pool. Actually the biggest issue in commercial pools is suntan oil and other things people smear on themselves. You end up with a scum line along the tile. What about people ****ing? Not as big a problem as people who not know how to wipe their ass. Pee is essentially sterile but there are chemicals in it. |
