A MAN TRIED TO TRADE ME A OSMOSIS SYSTEM THREE YEARS AGO FOR A FEMALE,,AND HARD HEADED ME.....SAID NO.......I NEED CASH TO KEEP MY PLACE GOING......NOW IN LEARNING SO MUCH MORE,,,,,,ABOUT WATERS AND CHEMICALS     I WISH I HAD DONE IT....i HAVE WELL WATER.....I THOUGHT OH BOY   GOOOD     WRONG      MINERALS UP TO MY ELBOWS....AND HAVAE TO 4 WAY FILTER AND ITS A COSTLY PROCESS......SAND GETS INTO FILTERS  VERY FAST AND AT 11.OO A SET OF TWO EVERY TWO WEEKS      MONEY WELL SPENT   BUT ANOTHER DIME IN THE RED COLUMN....

cLORINE IS NOT GOOD    DONT BELIEVE YOUR CITY.....READ    STEVEN TREADEAUS   BOOK      tHE THINGS THEY DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW     NATURAL CURES......

Yes, people and dogs are dying in the streets because of all the Cl (and F) in water.  Please.

Whose eyes are closed?  Who wants to believe the snake-oil peddlers ("natural" - hemlock and snake venom are natural, just remember that) that make money off no research?

Just a couple links.

Really about F, but many references to Cl:

ahh, links from a non biased source, excellent.  A little read up on Stephen Barret, the unlicensed, non-practicing psych Dr, that is an expert on everything.  Talk about a snake oil peddler.

Cities do a great job of delivering your h2o without bacteria. They pump them with all of the chemicals listed above.  The water arrives at your house with the maximum amount of chemicals allowed to consume.  Nice!  They do a good job with the amount of money they have available.  Remember, most of the water used in your house is for showers, cleaning, sprinklers, and flushing.  If they were to purify the water, it would cost around $5 every time you flushed the toilet.  Can you imagine what it would cost you to take a 15 minute shower?

It is pretty much impossible to put in a reverse osmosis system for a city.  The more pure the water, the more acidic.  Water that is run through a reverse osmosis system would eat through copper pipes over time.  That is why they are ran through plastic tubes to your fridge and sink.  There have been a few cities to try this and they have gone bad.  One was in the midwest and shortly after installing the system there were leaks everywhere.  In some cities, there are pipes that are so old that they are still oak.  It is sometimes very hard to change them out because roads have been built over them.  Some pipes are so old and eroded, that the only thing the H2O travels through is the calcium and lime build-up.  Most of them would crumble if you tried to dig them up and repair.

The best thing to do, whether you have city or well water, is to get yourself a reputable reverse osmosis system for cooking and drinking.  If you are on a well, you should have your water tested.  With well water, you have to worry about bacterias, nitrates, and arsenic.  Believe it or not, but aquafers travel for many miles under the earth.  That means that there are most definitely farms, factories, dumps, and septic systems in the area.   

amen on the reverse osmosis.  I can see a need for the Cl-, to a degree, i've been in places that if I turn the shower on and walk out for a minute and then back, my eyes start to burn like i'm in a pool.  I see the need, up to a point, but that doesn't mean I think its good for us.  I see ZERO need to be paying industry for their industrial waste grade Fl- waste and dumping them in our water supply.
