Have the Friday night Skype bandits returned???Which brand of distilled water is best for cubans?
You guys are all out to lunch. Here is how you get good water. First you build a house you can't afford. Then since your out in the country you drop $1,100.00 to get a water softener to get rid of the hard well water. Of course you don't want to drink all that sodium so you drop another $600.00 and install a reverse osmosis unit and run in to all your sinks and refrigerators, another $500.00.
AND WHAT DOES THE SALESMEN TELL ME AFTER I SPENT ALL THIS MONEY????
You don't have to pay for water anymore!
Hell for the cost of salt, filters, resins, carbon, etc... I could own a water company by now!
Yes, I had a crappy day.
BTW, nice post Dave.
One should read up on drinking distilled waters. The LACK of minerals in it can cause problems (if used for human consumption). Please folks drink spring water, not distilled or deionized water.
Funny review though.
In my professional opinion, you didn't need to have a reverse osmosis system. Plus the Water softner is supposed to be by-passed from the Kitchen sink (cooking purposes)and all of your outside faucets. If you water your plants or bushes or whatever..soften water takes the nutrients out..that plants and bushes need.
I'm sure your well is safe to drink, or you wouldn't be allowed to tap into it. Your refrig should be by-passed as well. It's safe to drink soften water..but you shouldn't make it a habit of drinking it.
But everything else is being protected, and if installed correctly, you will rarely see a Plumber because of a hardness issue with your water.
IMO..everyone building a house should make a water softner their first investment.
* Protects all of your faucets
* Protects all of your toilets from getting a calcium or lime and rust build up. Once that stuff gets caught internally in your toilet, it's a matter of time until you start to get a sluggish flush etc.
*Protects Washer machine
*Dish washer
*Boiler or Water heater
* You don't use as much soap when you do laundry
For $1000.00 -$1500.00 installed..is nothing, compared to the Plumbing bills you will be paying to fix or replace those things.
I've had customers tell me.."I don't want a water softner cause..it's going to make me feel slimy". lol.. I've had a water softner for 30 years..you don't feel slimy...your skin feels soft! This isn't ghostbusters were ghosts are going to slim you.
Most people on wells where I live..get the water softner..then get those big 5 gallon jugs of water for drinking purposes.
Indeed my good Watson. Amatures of water purification often ignore the subtle molecular changes that occur during slow ageing of purified water. Freshly distilled and purified water has 4 hydrogen bonds per molecule. During extended peaceful rest, the number of hydrogen bonds per molecule slowly changes, and ultimately reaches √16 .... I'm sure even an amature water afficianado such as yourself you can appreciate the impact of this change on the quality.
Oh ... and if anybody is interested ... I have mangums of 1961 Chateau la Tour de Morans that I can sell for a VERY resonable price ... $1575 + shipping. Looking at the recent prices that this fine aqueous treat have been achieving at Christies, you can see that this is a substantial discount from retail.
Or the level of purity available in a consumer grade RO.Pure H2O is very corrosive.
All of this, of course, has absolutely nothing to do with how it works in humidification systems.
