I have this Betta fish that I’ve kept in distilled water for over a year because I heard it’s best for them. After some research I learned that distilled water is actually a bad choice because it’s purified and the minerals the fish need are taken out. Does anyone know what kind of water is best to use for bettas or how to make distilled water better for them to live in?

I collected some clear, transparent spring water and boiled it in a stainless steel kettle. After boiling, I see white particles floating in the water? What is it?
Are the white particles/minerals in the water safe to consume? Thank you.

I’m looking at a GE water softener made by GE and installed by Home Depot. It’s the biggest one and it’s a 2 tank system. In my area we have more minerals in the water than chemicals. I understand the the profit margins on those are big. What companies, and brands would you go for? How much would you expect to pay? I’ve got a 3400 sq. foot house with 4 people. Thanks

does crystal geyser natural alpine spring water contain minerals?

I think that the body is able to deal with different water PH since our stomach is acidic and our blood stream is close to neutral. Does the PH really matter or the fact that the water is stripped of minerals because of a filtration process like distilled water or Reverse Osmosis water. I’m not sure what to think. In my practice I’ve been drinking RO water for a year and I feel just the same as I did when I drank mineral water. Any thoughts? Thank you!

What are some good tap water filters?




I live out in the country (to some extent anyway), and I have well water.

Thankfully I don’t have fluoride added to my water for that reason. However, it is quite obvious that there is alot of minerals in the water because of the white crust that forms everywhere water is.

I don’t know a lot about it, but I’m guessing this stuff isn’t good.

What are some good water filters for this?

Im going to use a natural henna/indigo mix to dye my hair, but the instructions say to use distilled water (distilled being in bold font) because any minerals could change the color. Do i really need to go out and buy distilled water? or is there any way to distill water yourself (without actually collecting water vapor and everything). I have a Brita water filter; would that take out the same minerals as distillation?

Washing car with mineral water?




My friend and I were over his house washing our cars and he said the hose water is very hard and has lots of minerals in the water. Hes washed his car a few times using that water and said everytime he washes his car it leaves the car, including the car windows, white and cloudy. I washed mine for the first time using that water and didnt leave it white and cloudy. Is this really the water causing this "Cloudy" appearance? Is there anything to do to prevent it or any product/cleaner that will get rid of it? Thanks.

We also have at our sinks and frig a water purifier or reverse osmosis that adds back minerals to the water for better tasting water. Would this be better since there is less salt? We do use Potassium chloride tablets because it is suppose to be better for people with high blood pressure and the like. Please Help!
