I do not trust any water as stuff can be bad with it and use a filter I just hope if this stuff gets into the water that the filter can help. And I think about the rain also, sense they are spraying I thought it could be in the rain also.

Welcome to the board, X.Filters are good. At least they can get rid of some of the chlorine, etc. before you drink it. I like spring water for drinking...

If you're concerned about fluoride, which you should be, your best bet is distilled water. Most off-the-shelf filters don't remove fluoride...

Thanks, A know some filters are useless, Brita is over rated. I have a under the sink filter, I also want a house filter, I do not even want to take a shower in this water, let alone drink it.

The most effective water filtration method is reverse osmosis. It will take out darn near everything. However they are expensive! I guess you get what you pay for in this world. Distilled water is also great, the molecules of distilled H2O have an extra side, minerals bind better to the extra-sided molecule. I get tired of having to think about the dadgum water all the time!!!

Penumbra, "the molecules of distilled H2O have an extra side"? Could you please give me more information? I seem to have missed this in 10 1/2 years of chemistry classes.

3T3L1:Sorry! Didn't mean to be vague, and I'm no scientist! Here is a link that explains what I was trying to say... www.aquatechnology.net/frame287858.html Maybe the word "molecule" was wrong, try water cluster instead. Distilled water clusters are 6-sided, plain are 5.

That site is a good example of using scientific-sounding language to pull the wool over people's eyes. Biological scientists have to use the purest possible water to do tissue culture. Oddly enough, they use Reverse Osmosis water, not distilled, for that purpose because organisms will grow even in double-distilled water. Volatile organics will also distill right along with the water. Reverse Osmosis isn't foolproof--we were always having contamination problems with the equipment.Please be skeptical. Even if something sounds scientific and you see pictures and graphs to go with it, that doesn't make it true. Your best bet is always to be sure that the research is published in a *reputable* *refereed* *scientific journal.*

3T3L1: I defer to your knowledge of chemistry!!
However, I originally got this information from an herbalist whom I trust very much, after talking to her about calcium deficiency. I tested the ph of my saliva per her directions, and the results were approximately 6.3, which she said indicates a mineral deficiency. I only posted that particular link because it was the closest thing I could find to the information the herbalist gave me.
I agree about the reverse-osmosis water. (see above) My parents have been on the filtered water bandwagon for about 15 years
