Re: off-topic: well water

[Guest guest]

I have the same issue with my well water. I had the watersoftener people come in

and they put a filter bypass on my line inside my house which I change about

every three to four months.  The fitler cost me 250.00 to be installed and

filters run 20.50 for one with a pretty fine micron. Hope this helps and its

also doesnt effect my grains either.

to.

Subject: off-topic: well water

 

Hi - some of y'all are on well water, so I have a question for you.

I just moved and my new place has well water, but it is a little cloudy -

obviously a touch of mud, since the inside of the toilet tank is  coated with

it, lol.

I'd rather ingest mud than fluoride any day, but I am just wondering why the

water is muddy and if there is anything that can be done for the water supply

that's cheap [yeah, sure] that I might be able to suggest to my new landlord.

ie

PS - my water kefir grains don't have any problem with the water

We have a filter pitcher in the house. They're usually cheaper than the ones

that attach to the faucet. I'd make the choice according to the price of the

filters. This would be best for regular drinking. Since your grains are O.K.

with the water as is, there is no reason to filter it. Odds are those are

minerals that you're seeing, and since they are happy, don't mess with it. Have

you considered that there is a leak in the pipe, that could be air.

My first step would be to ask the landlord if the water has been tested, and if

so to see the results. If not I'd ask the landlord to test it. If he's not

willing to I'd do it myself. I'd consider it an essential investment in my

family's health.

I'd inform myself on the landlord's legal obligation (or not,) to provide safe

drinking water, if any issues arose as a result of the water testing.

At minimum I'd filter drinking and shower/bath water, and pay for it myself if

the landlord's not willing to take proper steps to insure safe drinking water

for his property.

Finally, if he's not willing to insure safe drinking water, I'd seriously

consider how long I'd want to rent from a landlord who is so irresponsible. If

he's willing to put your family at risk, or even if his funds are too short to

properly care for the property, I'd be concerned about what other hidden dangers

might exist on the property and how well he's willing to care for his

investment. Just my two cents. Cheers,
