The water is what my current test is about...Melody suggested water yesterday,

so I switched to bottled spring water. I should know outcome by Saturday. Maybe

I should post a reward for the solution!!

Most definitely invest in a good water filter for sprouting soaking and rinsing,

but more importantly for your general safe water consumption. I live in

Brooklyn, NY, with the supposed greatest tasting municipal water around, but

I'll be damned if I'll drink straight from the tap w/ all the stuff that's in

it. Seriously consider a filter if you don't have one.

I have often found that, when I **just can't** figure something out that it

turns out to be what should have been the most obvious solution...too

easy...sometimes recognized by some completely inexperienced person. I hope I

don't end up embarrassing myself. And no, I don't stop rinsing after the 3rd

day.

Dona,

I have every confidence that you're going to figure this out. As you can see,

we are all trying to be helpful.

I think the Easy Sprout is great. I just gave two to my son, along with some

seeds, to get him started.

 You have driven around Orlando to know about love bugs.  They even have

special free car washes on the tollway to wash the love bugs off cars.  And

they are needed.  Don't have them here where we are but we fight them when we

go over to Orlando and back.  Usually get them just out of Orlando.  I think

of the Palmetto bugs as flying roaches.  We get one or usually 2 in the house

in a year and I squeell and Dave gets them out of here.  Have lizards running

all over outside too.  For bugs I guess.  We do breakdown and once or twice a

year spray for bugs.  We find dead ones every once in a while but never see

them running around in here.

Omg, how amazing. I remember my dad taking me to my first visit at Weeki Watchi

with the mermaids. And Disney World (which I've been back countless times), And

I'll NEVER forget the first time a Palmetto bug landed on my arm as I was

opening my dad's car door. I looked at him and said 'you live with flying

waterbugs?? "

And don't get me started on the Love Bugs.

We dont have that problem here.  Most water (I usually get water when I eat out

too) is fine.  I live in a mobile home park though and the pipes are maintained

by the park and I don't trust the water or the pipes.  They should have been

replaced years ago.  We also have a filter on the outside pipe before it comes

in and it probably is as old as the mobile hom is.  Not good news.  I probably

need to call a plumber and have it removed and maybe even get a new one put on

but then need to know how to change the filters in it.

A lot of towns in Florida have water really high in sulpher and iron-yuck! I

take tons of water with me when I go visit family down there-can't stand any of

the water in the state. My mom's tap water will CHOKE you with the smell of

chlorine!

It tastes pretty good in this area of So FL.  It is just tht I live in a mobile

home park and it is not city pipes but private pipes.  They should have been

replaced years ago.  They probably aren't up to code.  And we have a filter

outside but it is so old that we can't get into it.  Probably have to cut it

off and forget it unless we put in another one and this one wasn't big enough. 

Thinking of putting a new meter to measure water going to plants as it is the

sewage that is expensive so we need to get the sewage level down.  Right now

all the water is on sewer and a charge.  Speaking of sewage, when the park is

full in winter, we get gas up the sewage line but no problem now when the park

system is not overloaded.  We  have biggest problem when the RV's are in the

camping section of the park.  There is a separate mobile home section.  There

are French Canadians all over in the winter.  In the summer, there is a very

small contingent of

people, maybe 50 houses.  There are more like 150 in the winter that are

occupied as well as the RV people.
