Ive been hearing (reading) that drinking distilled water is not good for you because of the lack of nutrients and minerals. But what if you compensated for that with proper diet?

I live in the middle of the Texas panhandle. My house is plumbed with well water. I am choosing to add either a water FILTER or water SOFTENER to my home water system.
What "system" is a water FILTER?
Does it filter out all the sediment, sand, minerals, etc to use for my indoor water?

My house WAS plumbed with a Kenmore water SOFTENER. Before it "gave up", it did soften all this sand, sediment and minerals that I am picking up from the Canadian river basin.

I am trying to clean my indoor water so that it will reduce the hard water wear on my indoor plumbing (faucets, valves, and piping.)
Thanks.

Their bottled water has an ingredients list, and the water tastes like metal (which makes sense, considering minerals like Na are metals). Why not just purify the water and leave it at that?

I have always heard that you are supposed to use distilled water in car radiators, but is it really that important?. What effect does tap water have on your radiator?
A little more clarification…

I have a1994 Toyota Camry. I have a small leak in the cooling system which I have been adding about a half a gallon of water to every week or so. I try to use distilled water whenever I can, but I realize that tap water is better than no water. Im just worried that the minerals in the tap water might do harm - but I just wanted to know if these fears were valid or not.

I was just wondering if tap water in the US generally has more or less minerals in it than, lets say, Deer Park Spring water.
Thx guys

Well as a last resort to dealing with my continuing ammonia problems, I have replaced 1/2 of my fish tank water with distilled water. The pet store recommended trying the distilled water. Will it really make that big of a difference?

Could it really be something in my tap water creating my ammonia problems? I’ve tested my tap water for ammonia and its very low if any at all.

After a day or so, it takes typically three 30% water changes in the same day to bring the ammonia levels back down. So theres not really any extra food or waste in there as often as I’m vacuuming it out.
The tank is 10 gallons.

After the tank had run for 3 weeks, the ammoina levels were off the charts, and water changes wouldn’t bring it back down, so I changed all the water. The new water is maybe 2 weeks old

As for fish,
2 - Mollies ~1.5" -2" long
2- Xray tetras - ~1" long
2- dwarf frogs - ~1" long
2- small algae eaters ~1" long
1- spotted cory catfish ~1" long

I’ve stopped using all ammoina preventing products, based on some advice in a previous questions, and have just been changing water as necessary to keep the ammonia levels in check.

I have still been adding water conditioner to the water I have added, including the distilled water. My water here is extremely hard, and has a bunch of minerals in it, which is the reason I went along with the distilled water being a good idea.

The orange guys, which I believe are Mollies, require salt, which I have been adding the proper amount to any water I add.
Also there shouldn’t be excess food in there, when I feed them I drop food in, anything they haven’t eaten within a minute or so I scoop back out.

I’ve tried both cycle, and Prime, niether has had any effect. But then again I’ve stopped using any chemicals other than water conditioner at the moment.

I went shopping with some friends.

They bought bottled water and I joked with them about how they don’t drink from the tap.

They basically said the bottled water is cleaner and different from the tap…so they drink from the bottled water most of the time and the sink every once in a while. (They use Brita with the sink, though).

So then I try to convince them that the Brita filtered water is the same crap as what’s in the bottles, and they believe me.

SO, I offer the idea of getting a stainless steel water bottle so they can take it to class with them (they got bottles so they can carry it to school) and I was like, "the bottle will last 1000 years so you never have to waste your money on the bottled water."

Know what they said? "Oh, but I don’t need something to last that long."

Look, the only two companies that have pure filtered water are Dasani and Aquafina. Dasani is reverse osmosis filtered water with minerals added, but Aquafina is reverse osmosis filtered with nothing added. (They didn’t understand reverse osmosis or the idea of added minerals).

Is it wrong for me to be bothered that the general population thinks just like they do and is wasting oil for these dang bottles of water?

Our water source is deepwell and we have spring water. Spring water accumulates white minerals or substance that sticks on the kettle as we boil it. What’s the best thing to do except scratching it with steel brush. The spout is almost covered by white substance and covers the holes which flows small water when I pour it. It’s hard to clean because I have to punch it with small pointed object to eliminate or lessen it. Have you any idea?

Where I live, we originally have good flouride levels in our water, which is healthy for newborns. We filter the water through a filtering machine at home.

What is better for the newborn’s health:

Filtered water with very good flouride level or botteled mineral water with those certain percentages of all the other minerals?

Most published surveys rate bottled spring waters by taste, but I want to know which is the healthiest. And by this I mean fewest contaminants, best mix of minerals, freshness, bottle that doesn’t seep plastic into water, etc.

I’m concerned by the amount of oil burned to truck and fly bottled water around the world so I would rather just drink tap water. What is the best installed water filter system that doesn’t leave the water with out minerals?

My question is, why can’t I just use a tap water conditioner, such as Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Tap Water Conditioner, or Top Fin Water Conditioner instead of purchasing a RO/DI water system for my nano reef? If the RO/DI system is meant to remove all of the minerals etc, and the chemicals do the same, what’s the difference?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Reverse Osmosis is claimed to be the best by many, but it rids of all the minerals. This is very bad for the body. Is there a technology out there that filters out all of the negative elements found in tap water, but permits the healthy minerals to remain intact?

Knowledgeable answers only please. Thanks.
