O/T Re: water - dean

[Guest guest]

I'm doing well since getting a distiller, but still run water

through a Brita afterward. The carbon-type part of the filtration

pitcher in the Waterwise unit didn't seem to be doing the job.

I'm aware of the mineral issues, but take a lot of them, too, and

have to counter balance that issue versus pollutant issues.

I think it depends a lot on where you live and specific

sensitivities. I have no tolerance for chlorine and can detect it

in the water. We put a filter on the shower and it makes a

wonderful difference for me.

City water has a lot of additives; I think I've got the flouride out

this way, too.

I can't tolerate even a whiff of the residue that's left in our

distiller. There's so much, I have to soak the pitcher and clean it

out after every use. Doesn't that say something?

Regionally, we're in Appalacian mountains where water is notorious

for pollutant problems, including arsenic & mercury. Just a few

miles downstream, there are major benzene issues.

Individually, we have to take different factors into account. I

strongly feel minimizing exposures from water has contributed to my

increased energy level and probably has been promoting the chelation

process, which is going very well.
