Clean water?




when my wife and I wash clothes we have noticed lately our white clothes are a bit dingy.Although the water looks clear,the shower head and other faucets around the house get crudded over with calcium colored like red mud. Our home is built on red clay, whatis this simpliest soloution to the problem? I have home depot coming next week about a whole house purification filter, but i really don’t wanna put 3 grand into the solution.Any plumbers out there willing to share a tip? I live in Middle Ga too if any of you live around the area. Thank you

Brandon

We have an expensive refrigerator water filter that needs replacing all the time, has anyone bypassed the factory filter and installed a basic cartridge filter in the water supply line?

Is Evaporated water pure?




I know that maybe in a city with pollution, when the evaporated water comes down, it may not be pure due to pollution. But my question is in a controlled environment, does water that is evaporated into gas form, and then back into water, how pure will it be? Is there anything in water that can remain with it in its gas form?

If there is something that travels with it even through evaporation, is this water as pure as lets say commercially filtered water?

Please back up your answers if you can.
Thanks
Water vapor is the gas form of water.
H20 in gas form.

What is the best water filtration system?




We have horrible lime and calcium build up – very hard water. We want an entire water softner/filtration system.

Bottled water or attachments for the sink is not what I am talking about, it needs to be for laundry, showers, drinking, cooking, etc.

Please help!

and do I need to boil the water after filtration?

I’ve got a bad habit of opening a bottle of water, drinking less than half and leaving it somewhere, then forgetting about it and opening a new one.

I understand after a couple days (especially if left uncapped) this is an all-inclusive party for bacteria growth.

Rather than throwing these half-consumed bottles of water, would an effective treatment be to run them through my PUR or Brita Water pitcher in the fridge?

Reverse Osmosis pure or waste water?




I just got a new RO filter, 3 stage filtration. There are two tubes where water comes out of one is faster than the other. I don’t know which one is the pure water and which one is the waste water. (ie: with an RO filter do you get more waste water or more pure water?)
Its an aquapro brand. How can i tell for sure, coz i collected and tasted both the water. The Slower one wasn’t the "water taste" i’m used to, while the faster one tasted better than tape water.

What is the purest/most filtered bottled water?




I know that tap water is typically better than bottled water, but I was just wondering if anyone knew or had a link that would say which is the purest or most filtered brand of bottled water.

Is the water from Brita filters safe to drink?




Are there a lot of bacterias that grow in the pitcher when the water sits? Is it safer to drink tap water or water filtered from the filter?

I purchased a PUR faucet mounted filter but it didn’t come with an adapter to fit my utility sink. The faucet on the utility sink has threads that are like a garden hose male side. I need an adapter that goes from that to a normal faucet type thread.
I looked on the Home depot web site and couldn’t find anything. Please provide a link if you are certain they sell it. Thanks.

Water filters and the taste of water?




Will a good water filter help improve the flavor of water or will it just get rid of unwanted particles, etc?
