Can a human get diseases (possibly ones hard to detect by normal doctor’s tests) or can harmful toxins, even sodium build up in one’s body from long periods and extensive daily contact with salt water reef aquarium water. Were talking water-logged raisin hands from the reef tank water. Any research out there?

I have 1 well that supplies 2 homes & 2 granny units. I’m looking for people who know what to do, no guesses please. :)

Well test results:
Total alkalinity mg/l 188.1
Total hardness gpg 13
Total iron mg/l 0
Total manganese mg/l 0
pH 7.1
Total dissolved solids mg/l 270
Visual appearance clear
Nitrate (NO3) mg/l 50

We basically have hard water that is high in nitrates. We are getting differring opinions/ideas on how to proceed.

We would like to get the nitrates out. We are concerned with a softener because we don’t want the sodium left for the plants/lawn & reverse osmosis wastes too much water.

Is there any way to get the nitrates out?
If we can’t get nitrates out, what is the best system to go with? Would a UV filter work? Would magnets work?
Should we filter at the pump or at each house?
What are the pros/cons?
Is there a website that can explain the different methods?

If the softener is the only way, then we have to do that. But just want other views. :)
Also posted this under Science & Mathematics – Agriculture. Any other category that you think would be better?

salt after the process is done? 2) should a person who is taking high blood pressure meds even drink softened water, just in case it is salty? 3) if the softener is not working properly, would the water then have added sodium?

Some people on TV news say that bottled water is the same as tap water. I usually drink bottled water that I buy from the supermarket in a bundle of 48.

Once a year my water company sends out a print out of all the chemicals/minerals that are in our city tap water suppy that include;
Calcium, Sulfate, Chlorodibromomethane, Methyl-tert-Butylether, Chloroform, Bromodichloromethane, Bromoform, Bromochloromethane, Fluoride, Nitrate, Lead, Copper, Sodium, Chlorine, Asbestos, Total trihalomethanes, Haloacetic Acids, Alpha Emitters, Combined Radium.

That was the list in my tap water. Isn’t that bad for people? I don’t want to drink that. Is that in my bottled water? Is bottled water any better or not? Who can tell me some expert information?

I need a water filtration system. ?




What kind should I get? If not cost prohibitive I’d like it attached such that the water throughout my entire home is clean. If that’s too expensive, just the kitchen sink.

I have experimentally tested Pur and Brita filters, and whilst they do remove nearly all sodium and sediments, therefor making it taste significantly better, they remove very little heavy metals which may be toxic and carcinogenic.

How much would a high quality dobule osmosis system cost?

Is DASANI LEMON WATER Safe For DOGS To Drink …?




It says it’s a ‘natural lemon flavored water beverage’, sweetened with Splenda.

0 Calories, 0g Fat, 30mg (1%) Sodium, 0g Protein.
All he drinks is plain water. I would like to spoil him once in awhile … and, since I love the lemon water (especially when it’s cold), I needed to know whether or not it’s safe for him to drink. The vet’s office won’t be open until tomorrow, and the phone number is specifically only for emergencies. I don’t give him anything new unless I find out for sure. That’s why I confirmed with a vet before I gave him Noni Juice, and Acai Juice.

well I heard that it removes the sodium from your body if you drink too much…but what is too much? I don’t usually drink more than 8 cups of water everyday
