Damn! the price of that. The small town I live in has never given a boil water alert. Once I caught a jar of mud & called city. Well if cloudy will be ok later. MUD isn't going to clear up! So I found a phone number & got someone from state to come & check. Nothing happened, just moved me up on shit list here.

Reverse osmosis, water softener system, jacketed water heater and a bunch of other Dr. Frankenstein looking stuff?

Yeah, that's kind of what happened in Nucla when everyone got upset about its water supply. Everyone was told to shut up and believe the lies of the authorities about the marmot manufacturing conglomerate in the Weminuche Wilderness.

Submersible pump with air tank, sediment filter, softener, crap filter, 200+line psi pump, reverse osmosis filter, storage tank, jet pump with air tank, and Calcium Carbonate injector.
Makes clean water during the week and on weekends process weapons grade plutonium to sell to Osama. :elkgrin:

Stick to wine
 
If you drink the "wudder" in Philadelphia you should KNOW it's not good for you -- the yellow to brown color and foul taste are sufficient warning.

D.C. has the problem that a large percentage of water that enters their system simply vanishes. No surprise that there's stuff getting IN unaccountably as well.

Maybe Dasani is the safest. It's artificial mineral water -- they take water, distill it, then add in certain minerals. Sort of like what Bruce does, only on an industrial scale.

Me, I drink the Collegeville water. I know there's a few industrial contaminants in it, and I can certainly taste the chlorine and chloramines (doesn't burn your throat like in Philly though), but it'll serve.

So what you're saying, Bruce, is that even the water in your home is the result of a dodad.

A chain of DoDads. ;)

You got that right, Happy Monkey

Did you cobble this together yourself? If so...I am totally impressed. Envious, even.

I've put a couple of systems together over the years. Eventually the water ate them all. I explained this to a water pro while researching a new system but he thought that was incredulous. I tried to explain that any system that produces good water is vulnerable to the water it's treating before the finished product but I don't think he grasped the concept.
Soooo, I wrote him a check and tucked away all the documentation and warranties in the big safe, with a clear conscience. ;)
