Water, water everywhere....




Nowadays I would encourage everyone to have some water filtration. The two I am looking at are the Berkey system, and the Propur filter.

With all of the stuff in the water, from cysts to fluoride (one of the charges against the Nazis during the war trials was that of poisoning the camp prisoners' water with fluoride.) to arsenic, chlorine, and a plethora of other things our purification systems don't handle, it would be advisable to get as much out as possible, water being essential to life and all....

There is even a GIVEAWAY going on!

Yeah? It doesn't have to be tin-foil hat time, either. Sorry, but I think floride isn't a problem in the right dose. If you try to kill someone with it, you... might have a long job on your hand. Well, that's just from what I have seen and read, mind you.

However, all the testing they do on water from municipalities? Bunk. They teach those testers how to "test correctly" (fudge the tests completely). All that money being spent on water standards? Man-hours, testing equipment, work done to water systems to allow testing, lab work? Wasted, and worse, allowing a false sense of security. With the new and ever tightening regulations on even smaller and smaller ppm or ppb? Essentially that has destroyed even the remotest possibility that any water would pass inspection. So, instead of being honest and ending testing they continue to spend billions while not having any real means of knowing how good any water is. Socialism... we are all equal... and equally corrupt... now! Maybe the system has improved in the last five or ten years?

*laughs*

I have a water softening unit and a under-the-sink reverse osmosis system. Should I need to travel, I have the Katadyn Pocket, if I sort of drool about their Expedition model... just not the price so much (1 qu/m vs. 1 g/m, and about $800 price dif). None of the devices are perfect though. For larger amounts if a disaster kills the grid, I do have a larger water pasturizer to go with my jet stove, too. Whats more, even if the water is technically good, if your system isn't used to it it can still make you sick. I take water from my system at home when traveling, and hope I don't run out. Bottled water is good for that, though, too, assuming that is an option. If you read the label and don't by someone else's tap water. heh...
