I live in an apartment complex that DOES have a water softener but I think the PH levels are out of wack because several of the people in the building complain about itchy skin, scalp issues and those of us with blonde hair now have rust/orange colored hair.
When the landlord is confronted he states that the water company has already come out and things are "fine".
I on the other hand tend to disagree … because my hair is still a rustic orange instead of a beautiful blonde – and my scalp is still flakin’ up a storm.

My skin shouldnt feel like it is, my scalp shouldnt be giving me flake issues and for the amount of money I spend on my hair it shouldnt be orange…. PLEASE HELP

Can someone with a similar situation please suggest a Shower Filter that has worked for them – I’d like the name of a brand of Filter – not just a store where I can find one (most of the ones HD, Lowes and what not carries only takes out Chlorine, I need one that takes out Iron as well.

Thank You!

How can I get my tap water tested?




I would like to have my tap water analyzed for health hazards. We live near some chemical plants and I’ve become nervous about possible contamination. I’ve seen my water company’s water quality report but I would like an independent analysis. Does anyone know how I could find a lab to analyze a sample I send in? I live in southern Ohio.

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 am doing a mock business plan for a flavored vitamin water company and am having ideas coming up with a name for it. This company would have a similar approach to companies like Culligan but would sell flavored vitamin water instead of regular spring water.

I live in Surrey BC Canada…and I really don’t know how to find out if my tap water is vegan or not. I recently read a vegan book talking about some water company might use Carbonized animal bones or bone char to filter water? I don’t know if this is true. but I want to find out does my local company use it or not? Is there anyway for me to find out?? I tried to search on google but nothing showed up.

Another unrelated questions, I heard some water contain way too much chlorine…so it’s better to have a water filter system at home…is it true?

"Team- based salary"?




I work for neste waters. A big water company in the usa. They own arrowhead, ice mountain,deer park, poland spring, etc. i delivery water products to businesses and homes. My salary is based on a teams performence. For example: three peope may share a ten mile radius of customers. The total number of bottles delivered is split between us three and thats how we get paid. But our route is not equal. One guy might deliver less bottles than the other guy. Another guy might deliver more stops with customers who require him to travel all around the building to deliver two bottles. Basically really unfair and how can a company get away with this? I assume this is illegal. I know employees with the same job as me sued the company and now they r hourly paid. But in texas we still get paid team based salary. Should i go to a corporate lawyer? I live in texas and maybe the laws are different here.
In all honesty i’m too old and beat up to switch jobs and companies. I understand when you say the company would of checked to see if this was legal. But out in the east coast the employees sued the company and won. NOw they are hourly pay. But i’m unsure why we in texas are still team based?

I’m not looking to get into a debate of whether or not tap water in the US is safe or not! Please don’t reply to tell me the water is ok…

I live in central PA and they’re switching their water systems from using chlorine (which I wasn’t thrilled about to begin with) to "chloramine".. Now all I drink is tap water and because of the medicine I’m on, I drink a LOT of it! We’re also looking into having children and it would be an EXTREMELY high risk pregnancy, so It’s really important to me to have out all excess chemicals as much as possible. (Heck I’m more worried about the chemicals than the bacteria now, thanks to the water company!)

However, we’re also on a budget! What’s the cheapest EFFECTIVE way to filter water- the kind that attaches to a faucet, the pitcher type, or is my best bet to stick with bottled water for drinking instead of playing with filters?
