But yes they do make us drink recycled water from the sewer system.

So, what is your marvellous idea? "Make" new water or what?
The water we have on the planet is constant, it has been recycled throughout the milleniums, accually since the dawn of time!

Ever heard the word "cycle"?

NOBODY can make you do anything.
It rains... collect it; filter it.

if you think about it, our air in poisoned, our water is poisoned, our food is poisoned, yet we all continue to live an breath without too much problems, but what if this is how its always been, an well our cancers, our staff infections our super bugs, what if they are the long term result......


I dunno bout everyone else, But, You throw in the current state of the dollar economy, the crippling administration, this never ending colon cancer war on terror, an the many many many redundant plain evil actions being followed thru an applauded for money on a daily basis, Its about time to have a plan b, or C, becuz this my friends, is gettin close to zero day.

Zero day is our resulting depression where most of us on this site an many others wont be able to use this site or our internet maybe even our power for those who havent alternate methods of power sources,

We are heading for a Depression, an we are taking the whole world with us.....in some way shape or form......

Might wanna invest in some raincoats, theres a Fecal storm brewing.

My wife and I have come across the perfect solution to this problem. We use collected Rain Water that is then passed through a 4 stage reverse osmosis (sp) filtering system and bombarded by UV light. This stuff is wonderfull!

1) No taste (at all!!!)
2) No Smell
3) According to lab results, nothing in it but H2O!
4) No Micro-organisms

I wish that I could Bottle this stuff and send you all free samples.

You would never drink anything from a tap again!

Some years ago in the late 1960's we had a batch of home grown terrorists plotting genocide by epidemic using antibiotic resistant cholera and typhoid germs dumped in river headwaters, thus attacking cities along the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.

What scares me most is the antibiotics in the water. The antibiotics may give bacteria a resistance against what might be used against them in the future.

To prevent this, I propose we vacuume distill the water out of our sewage and ferment the solids to make methane or cook the solids to make "Garbage Oil". The water would be pure enough to drink.

Be advised...

RO filtration will take the minerals out of your water unlike carbon filtration.

Without the vital minerals found in water you may decrease your life expectancy.

I suggest a liquid-plant based-fulvic-mineral supplement if you wish to continue drinking exclusively RO water....

or at the very least a very well rounded, organically grown diet.

Distilled water has the same disadvantage; RO and distilled water are best suited for laboratory needs rather than animal (human) consumption.


Put two people in the deep woodland... one accustom to drinking local well water and one accustom to drinking RO'ed water...


The RO man is going to have a much worse time with ticks and mosquitos.


I like your UV light... (except for power consumption); but I personally opt for granulated carbon over RO.

There is a such thing as "too polished"


Also... I want to note that I cycle my water through carbon and small holding tank. I do not just simply let it pass through once on the way to my glass as most under sink or in the fridge door systems do.

My pets drink from a 3 gallon flat bottomed stainless bowl ($10) with a 1 gallon glass jar sitting inside of it. The jar is half full of activated coconut carbon ($20 fish store) and the stainless bowl has a small fountain pump ($10 hardware store) in the bottom. The pump feeds a natural rubber tube that goes to the bottom of the jar full of carbon; which then overflows back into the stainless bowl. It cycles quietly all day... and I add rain water when it gets low. Eventually I want to get it running on mechanical energy produced by a small savonius turbine.

I wouldn't worry too much, those concentrations mentioned are extremely minute (p.s. your link no longer works) I'd say you would breath in higher doses on a trip to the pharmacy, but that's my uneducated guess...

Not uneducated, but uninformed.

They are finding toads (or was it frogs?) where the males were being turned into females because of the excess estrogen in the water of what was being urinated out by human females who take hormone pills (for various reasons: this includes both birth control pills and hormone pills for menopause).

Just like it is thoroughly documented that the fish in Lake Michigan have cancerous tumors growing inside, outside on them, and are severely deformed.

The bottom line is our standard water "treatment" facilities are ancient, the technology, and it was never designed to handle all of these drugs, and no one's doing anything about it.

One of the steps of our filtration system is a activated carbon cartridge, as a matter of fact. Also the UV light is powered by a battery system charged by sunlight. (except for internet connection, my wife, daughter, and I live "off the grid". Our home uses solar, and wind power.) We also eat a very well rounded diet that is self grown (organically) and home raised (Buffalo, chicken, and deer) also raised organically. I realy wish that you all could taste this. I even take it to resteraunts with me, in bottles to drink. I cannot stand the taste of local or bottled water.

I feel horrible...I have always flushed my un-needed or out of date prescriptions down the toilet. I thought I was doing the right thing by not putting them in the garbage where animals or children could get them. I honestly didn't know you weren't supposed to flush them until my mother in law saw me doing it a year ago and freaked out on me! Since then I have started taking them back to the pharmacy to have them dispose of them....but who knows how they actually dispose of them anyhow....probably flush too!

I buy my water from a place that uses 18 stage reverse osmosis. The water is so pure (your's probably is too) that it can be supercooled. Try putting the water in a smooth plastic container and fill it up with water almost full, leave it in the freezer for a few hours and it will reach the freezing point, but won't actually freeze because there are no impurities that allow for the onset of crystal nucleation. If you take it out and shake it just a little bit or otherwise disturb it, you can watch it freeze before your eyes.

I've been able to swallow it and have it freeze in my throat... well it turned into slush because I didn't freeze it long enough for it to turn into solid ice. I wouldn't try that.

I tried that last night, very cool (pardon the punn). And that water got so cold that it "burnt" my teeth, and felt like alcohol when it went down, but damn it was good. Thanks for the tip. I put in a thermometer to measure the temp. 28 F and it didn't freeze. (till the thermometer hit it, then it crystalized instantly. Damn that will be good this summer when the temp hits 100+, but I figure I will have the mother of all "Brain Freezes".
