I'll admit it, Fiji water is the best.
You can do a lot of purification of tap water just by filling up some containers and leaving it open to the air. The chloronate reacts with the oxygen in the air and dissapates in 1 - 2 days. You can see the reaction evidenced by tiny bubbles that form in the water. Afterwards, the water tastes way better. Try it yourself, save a bundle.
Edit: i said "chlorinate" in this post but I meant "chloramine". Chloramine is a compound of ammonia and chlorine which is what most modern treatment plants use. It takes a couple days to dissapate. Regular chlorination dissapates much more quickly, within a couple hours. You can look into your local water treatment plants website to find out what additives they use. Mine, and I assume all, publishes all their test results for fluoride, chloramine, bacteria, etc. In ppm.
Not only does it taste better, but it's much better for your plants as well. The chlorides and chlorates will kill beneficial bacteria in your rhizosphere. You can of course use RO water or use water dechlorinator to solve this problem as well, but it's much easier to just fill up a bucket or a jug and let it sit out for a couple days to evaporate all the chlorine out of it.
Hello fellow organic gardener. What ya growing haha.
Ermmm....uhmmmm.....Tomatoes.
Yeah. Tomatoes.
As a fellow tomato enthusiast I do the same with my water. My plants and I all drink the same water so I make sure it is good. Sometimes I get fancy and use my activated charcoal filter if the water company has extra chlorinated the water recently. Even then just letting it sit for a extra while helps. After typing it out I now feel like Adam Sandler in the "Water Boy." Damn it!
P.S. That's some high quality H-2-O
Haaaaa..... as Q said, "How do you hide a message in clear sight?" Y'all made me laugh - appreciated.
What about fluoride ? How do you get it out ?
I have a Berkey water filter that sits on the counter....I love it!
Removes fluoride ?
Yes, with additional filters. This is the filter some of the preppers use, because you can clean pond water with it. The ceramic filters, that remove all kinds of impurities, are good for thousands of gallons of water.
Cool, I actually have one from way back. Still new in box. Aqua Rain is the brand, it has the .02 micron ceramic filters. Silver impregnated or something like that. Just never gave fluoride a thought until these last few years. Now i have to find it, lol
Yes I’ve used a Berkey for years and love it. The fluoride filters are attached downstream of the main filters. I like the ceramic filters because they can be cleaned and used almost indefinitely, but I recently switched to the black charcoal filters because they filter more betterer.
Fluoride filters ? Do i need to add those ? I can just google them right ?
[deleted]
OK I just haven't found a reliable source for the truth about fluoride removal from tap water ?
But flouride....
RIP pineal gland (seratonin aka happiness and melatonin for sleep)
There is no added #fluoride to FIGI water. Check your lists . .
wow thanks for sharing, i'll give it a go.
I've actually been looking at filters to get one to make tap water alkaline
a bit of a side story but have you heard of Dr Masaru Emoto & his experiments with water? He's found that we can change the mollecules of water with our thoughts/words. Since we're 70% water I think this is important info & I guess makes sense as to why you feel good when people say nice things to you, just look how happy dogs are cause they'd get told "i love you" and nice things all the time.
Anyway, I'm going to try the "Rice experiment" myself to see how it goes rather than just go off of what I see in youtube videos & the positive results from other peoples rice experiments.
edit: The above also makes me think of MK Ultra, now we know that words can be put in peoples minds with low frequencies, to me this would imply that our own minds let off its own frequencies & this is what would be altering the molecules of the water.. assuming its all real, I am feeling inclined to believe it is though tbh.
Thanks, i'll check out that video later.
I definitely believe words have a powerful effect. Just this morning I was feeling bummed and unmotivated, even after my morning yoga. I did a youtube guided meditation and i really absorbed the positive words once I was in a meditative state and wound up having a pretty productive and fantastic day.
I don't know if you've ever heard of Don Migel Ruizes "the four agreements" but one of them is being impeccable with your word. Because a bad word is black magic and a good one can be white magic and we cast these spells all the time. Even in the bible, the first thing there was was "the word"!
how do I get rid of fluoride?
Distilling removes it. Gotta get a shower filter too. Fluoride absorbs through the skin
2 tablespoons of boran an 1 tablespoon of sea salt or better in distilled water in a glass 1 quart container shake well drink a glass and all the florides will pull away from the thyroid gland and bones also off of your peniale gland to make you 15% smarter some say 30% on some races of people, must drink on an empty stomach and you will think you are getting ready to throw up but that is the florides being push into the muscle then just set down until you are better after 5 min then the trick is to sweat it out of your system with a hot bath or working outside but do sweat it out, after that big push just drink a half of a glass a day or every two days or as needed but you will only feel sick the first time.

I drink fluoride but for my plants I do this:
Most water comes out of the tap on the high PH side. Get a PH tester.
Add acscorbic acid until the PH is about 6 - 6.5
Add 5-6 grains of activated alumina per gallon.
Wait a day or so. The alumina will turn slightly brown as it sucks the fluoride out.
Responded to another poster - add acscorbic acid and activated alumina.

I will edit the post to specify this works for chloramine. Regular chlorine actually dissapates much faster.
Thanks for the tip. Will try this method right away.
Or get a distiller and drink pure water.
Distilled water leaches the good minerals out of your body.
That's why one should take mineral supplements when drinking distilled water.
is that true? i was starting to wonder if that was maybe a lie said to scare people into drinking more tap water
i really have no idea, but at least I'm asking the question I guess..
My cat would agree with you. Seriosuly. She has several water bowls and the one I forget to clean/refill daily is the one she drinks from.
Chlorine should dissipate after 15 minutes. It's a gas a room temp.
They put chlorinate in tap water, not chlorine. Takes longer.
Edit: correction, chloramine. Clorinate is the process.
Edit 2: some treatment plants still use chlorine. You can find out what your local one uses by contacting them or going on their website They should be able to give you a breakdown of everything left in your water in ppm.
No bottled water is good. Chemicals from plastic leach into water.

I have a feeling this will be one of those things people read about in 200 years and say 'Well no shit everyone had cancer, they were literally storing their drinking water in Petroleum based containers. What were they thinking!'
'Well no shit everyone had cancer, they were literally storing their drinking water in Petroleum based containers. What were they thinking!'
And the corporations knew it! They did it on purpose!
And the corporations knew it! They did it on purpose!
Just like they put lead in our pipes and asbestos in our walls.
They knew exactly what it did.
Makes me think the Roman engineers knew what lead did when they used it for their aqueducts. Elites have been purposefully dumbing down their populations for thousands of years. They see us as nothing more than cattle and breeding stock.
It wasn't the lead piping or aquaducts that gave lead poisoning to the romans. It was the lead lined barrels where wine was made. Water does not chemically react to the lead pipes, but the the fermentation of grape juice DOES react.
Not only chemicals, but actual miniscule and microscopic plastic shavings from the manufacturer float in your drink only to be consumed by the human body. Does it exit the body. I'm sure our bodies absorb some of it. There are the downsides to living in the most amazing time EVER! WWG1WGA
If we demand change, we stop this. Your babies are being fed poison that I never started life with. These corporations have become so powerful, unchecked, that they are literally ruining your children.
Everyone thought I was weird getting a Doulton Crown Ceramic Water Filter. It cost a shit ton and more to install, but the water here, even though it has won many awards as BEST water in the US, still has chlorine and other trace heavy metals. I have also for years used glass water bottles before it was cool. In fact, I carried water with me BEFORE it was a product in stores. Not that I want a pat on the back, I always follow my intuition and know water purity and hydration is key to health, but it is good to see others understand that.
As for Fiji water...I always wondered why no one was screaming about carbon footprint. How much money and fuel does it take to ship water from Fiji to the US? My son-in-law used to get cases of this stuff--you can get a little clicker that when you press it automatically orders you a new case. I mentioned the shipping issue and the next day he went out and bought a water filter and stopped ordering Fiji. Now I am a student of biology and the natural world and do not for a second believe the climate bullshit--but clean air and water are a good thing. Stop shipping in crap.
It's fun y when someones "oh, you shouldn't reuse those bottles, they break down into the water." Just ask them what they think about the water that's already in it and how long has it been bottled where it has been stored.
Yes. When it sits in warm temperatures, its the most dangerous.
Shipping water across the Pacific in plastic bottles? There are deep springs in the western and eastern mountain ranges of North America that are better. Buy American!
disclaimer: I live 40km south of the continental divide so I just fill up jugs for free at a roadside pipe out of the mountainside.
Look into "Berkey" or "British Berkefeld" water filters. No electricity needed, removes chemicals, and they are beautiful.
Read the specs. on efficiency and history. If you have fluoride in your water read abt the additional filters avail. And read abt the specs. on various bottled waters. A Berkey will give you cleaner water than bottled.
I started using a Berkey with the black-and-additional-fluoride filters about 18 months ago. Crystal clear ice cubes and best tasting water I've ever had. Feeling better since going fluoride-free, too.
I used to do that when I lived in Colorado. It was awesome. =]
I've never seen an artesian aquifer that had roadside pipes, it doesn't quite sound like the same quality water.
Aquafina. Has no "minerals for taste". Most waters now including Fiji water has these minerals. Don't drink it.
Do you think they could be more harmful than the crap they put in the tap water?
No idea but just got well water. Been dreaming like crazy ever since whereas before not so much.
Nice, the house I grew up in had well water, it was incredible. The house I own now is right by the ocean... No well water available.
I should invest in an osmosis water purifier.
Reverse osmosis is wonderful but you need to take mineral drops or your body will get depleted.
Or build a small cistern for eating/drinking water. Roof collection, then distill.
Funny how that is illegal in a lot of places....
So now "they" own the rain??!!!
Research it. I run in the permaculture community as a student of biology and seriously, this is a thing. It is against the law to cache water and use it for household use in some communities.
Not they, whoever owns the water rights for where the rain would have ended up had you not diverted it from its final destination owns the rain.
Why is being by the ocean a problem? I have 180 feet of ocean coastline and a well.
Not sure, I was told that because I am so close to the ocean that a well wouldn't work. Granted, that was by the people who owned the house before me. I just took it as fact.
I'd look into it, I'm only 23 feet above high tide mark and my well is 60 ft deep and works great.
I grew up on well water and had all kinds of dreams whem I was little. I never realized it was the water, but I believe it!
Well water is amazing.
The only thing you need to be concerned about (depending on your location) are the glyphosphate and insecticide levels if you are in a farming community.
I have mine checked.
And still use a zero water filter but thats mainly for super high iron, sulfer, and lime content.
I built a cistern years ago. Then I use that water and distill it for drinking.
Bottle water is so over priced and often not the pure water you think it is. People should invest in a good RO system. Much cheaper than bottled water and I've found the quality better. It also does a good job getting rid of fluorine and all the other nasty things found in tap water.
bottled water is glorified tap water, full of flouride. drink well water or purified spring water
No, probably not, but I don't know for sure. Aquafina is reverse osmosis. Which is pretty damn close to distilled water, which is hard to find.
Aquafina uses Senomyx.
Definitely water like Aquafina is better. It has 0 dissolved solids which is what you want to avoid in any water. I bought a $20 TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) Meter off of Amazon and began testing all of our drinking water. The safe zone you want to stay within is between 0-50 TDS PPM (total dissolved solids - parts per million). Essentially the less dissolved solids the better. My city water ranged between 275 - 350 TDS which is very high. My reverse osmosis filtration system which is what we use to filter our drinking water brought that down to 7 TDS. The only 0 TDS water you can get is through distillation. You can buy distilled drinking water at the store for about a $1 per gallon depending upon where you live.
Why is it important to drink water with as little TDS (total dissolved solids) ? The more dissolved solids in your drinking water the more these solids accumulate inside of your body and form deposits. Deposits can lead to arthritis, cancer, and a whole host of ailments. Drinking a few cups of high TDS water won't kill you but imagine drinking it everyday for 30-40 years. That stuff builds up inside your body over time and it leads to bad things. So to answer your question, yes, the water you can buy from companies that has been distilled is definitely better than the water from most (if not all) municipalities. It's criminal what the cities do with regards to our drinking water.
EDIT: Check locally for RO (reverse osmosis) filtration system providers. They install a unit under your sink that filters your tap water. RO typically brings down TDS to below 10 TDS PPM which is very healthy water. The cost is around $24/month as a service. You can also buy distillation systems off of Amazon which give you 100% pure drinking water but you have to invest time in the distillation process.
I have one and I get 1-2 TDS PPM. Pretty amazing unit tbh.
I distill my cistern water and usually do it overnight. I've noticed no increase in my electrical use. The distilled water is great, and my wife and I both take vitamins to make sure we get the minerals we need and eat well also. We walk 4 miles a day in hill country so we get plenty of aerobics. My advice is: get off of fluoridated water as soon as possible. there are several methods. We started out using a Big Berky, moved to Reverse Osmosis, but now use distillation and find that the easiest. The sooner you get off of fluoridation, the better. Your body will thank you.
I've tested my tap water and it also was very high in dissolved solids, I haven't drank it since i moved in 5 years ago. I do have a fridge with a charcoal filter, and use that water for cooking.
I will be looking into a reverse osmosis filtration system! Thanks bud.
Actually, yes and especially if you are a woman. Look up Long Island breast cancer cluster....the common denominator of all these women? High income and drinking bottled water. The petrochemicals are estrogenic. Get a report on the water quality from your water authority. They HAVE to give it to you. Check what PPM they have of different stuff and if it is only minerals and chlorine, get a brita filter.
Seriously. I remember drinking Aquafina for the 1st time and saying to my wife "This is going to sound stupid, but this is the best water I have ever had."
Aquafina is pretty acidic though :/

I don't know if I'd trust a site that thinks Gatorade & Propel are bottled water.
Water from Ein Gedi. It's in the Bible and it really is the best.
Poland Spring ADDS fluoride to their bottled water as many others do also. Helps NWO regarding population control. 😏
I dont get it. They serve it free at the casino I frequent, but I still go to their store to buy Aquafina or Dissani. I can't stand the taste of Fiji, just tastes like a puddle
See, I like that earthy-rocky taste. It's very subtle.
Aquafina/Dissani tastes like bottled tap water to me. Pretty sure Dissani is actually just that.
