Re: Whale Poop in My Drinking Water?

I'm pretty sure that effectively all of the water on the planet has been through some organism by now. It's all recycled through rain, and then contaminate again. So it goes.

Re: Whale Poop in My Drinking Water?

I recall correctly if you've been to Singapore in the last few years and drunk the tap water there's a pretty good chance you are drinking some "recycled" water

You pretty much have atoms in your body that once were in every other person on earth.

Whale Poop in drinking water is the key ingredient to make Poopsicles.

Yum. Delicious and cooling on a hot day.

I wonder how that works at this Chinese water park?

The old-time comedian W.C. Fields, explaining his preference for alcohol, had a famous quote: "I don't drink water. Fish f**ck in it."

Re: Whale Poop in My Drinking Water?

I use prefilters before the membranes and a UV light after.
I make water where ever I am without problems. In the winter in fresh water at my home dock, in the ocean and bays or rivers. I have tested the water many times. It passes better than any city water. No heavy metals, no fluoride, etc.
I haven't drank city water or marina water in 14 years. My RO water also does my cooking and laundry. Clothes come cleaner in RO water than city water.

And we have been drinking, bathing and cooking with water that once went thru dinosaurs.

Yep...the RO Water cruisers drink is of better quality than most people drink in their Homes. But there are still many Myths and Dock Rumors about is RO Water Safe to drink. So we slowly but surely work on busting those rumors and educating the Cruiser Fleet.
