Of course I prefer pure water! It's just not that accessible, I'm in the suburbs and I don't believe in bottled water.

There is a 'spring' near the area where I live, but I haven't taken it upon myself to haul jugs from there, at least not yet. I haven't tried that water yet, I add.

Rainwater collecting always concerned me since bird droppings... well.

Distilled water is best I suppose but it still takes energy to distill water.

Re: plants, They say to test PH with distilled water but to me that doesn't make sense because nobody waters their plants with distilled water and the water that is used eventually effects the PH.

I'm liking the thread Rehab Not too often I wonder this way into the survival forum, only because I know a lot about this stuff, but i haven't seen much info about water.

If I may. I suggest this book:

Colin Ingram: author of "The Drinking Water Book" very interesting stuff here and this is a descent website:

Adding Minerals To Water

Nice topic rehab, these are the type of threads I like to see.

Which Minerals Are in Drinking Water?

Calcium, magnesium, and lime are often found in city water. In addition, some cities and private wells often have manganese and iron, both of which can give the water a bad smell if found in high amounts. Other toxic minerals and heavy metals commonly found in the water, that usually have no taste unless present in elevated amounts:



aluminum
arsenic
asbestos
barium
cadmium
chromium
copper
fluoride
lead
mercury
nitrates
nitrites
selenium
silver


Thats alot of bad things Thanks for the link.
