Why is water more expensive than coke? I am trying to cut down on soda drinks and drink more responsibly, but am finding it very expensive (in Australia at least) to drink bottled water. Why is this so?

Also, when taking a shower in Australia, does it smell like you’re swimming in a pool, as it does in many parts of the U.S.?

I’m getting two rats soon, and I read somewhere that fluoridated water is toxic to them. I live in Australia where our water is fluoridated, and I don’t want to cause any harm to my new pets! So is this accurate, do I have anything to worry about?

Thanks.

I’m curious to know the price (in Australia primarily) that the large bottled water companies sell to events for. If you have any experience is this area I’d love to hear your thoughts. It would also be good to know what they sell to local stores at. Thanks in advance!

I’m in Australia and they are banned practically everywhere. I cant see them posing a big risk to to the drinking water myself.

I appreciate there are many domestic water filters being used in houses throughout the World, BUT is there any one particular water filter that actually REMOVES all bacteria ? The asnwer I have got back from Australia, says NO, but I believe there is one filter in Australia with a Government stamp of approval, and a Scientific document which proves this particular water filter DOES removal ALL Bacteria. Can you give me your answer to my question= is there any water filter that removes all bacteria ? As I understand, all water filters require chlorine after installation except this particular water filter I am talking about..

Yabbies are like a kind of small crayfish that are native to Australia. They can apparently be very destructive & dig up plants, eat leaves/flowers, etc of water lilies. There are lots in our dam & eradication isn’t an option. So I need to come up with some kind of protection. The only idea we’ve had so far was to buy some thin wire or mesh, with holes small enough to let water through but not yabbies. Then to make that like a kind of giant bowl and put it into the dam… and plant the water lilies in big buckets (with small holes drilled to let water through) inside the wire bowl. The wire would need to protrude above the water level at least a bit, so as to stop the yabbies just swimming over it. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
