I'm sorry, but do you have a heavy sulpher content to your water? My wife
gets sick from alot of things that have a high sulpher content, and she could not drink the water in the shenandoah valley where we once lived because of it. "C Ryman" wrote in message ...

What would be the best way to research Arsenic in the water - I can't think of good search parameter for Google. I don't remember it being listed on the last water review but that may not mean anything. The water in our area leaves something to be desired. If I try to drink a whole glass in the morning it makes me feel sick. My dog doesn't like it either. Thanks, -- Connie Ryman Cryman Studio All in all, you experience many health risks and never know it. Radon is a common one. Arsenic in drinking water is a under-rated hazard, maybe because it is so widespread throughout the country. Check that one out! Low does of arsenic are really bad for your health. As a health risk, it's a real sleeper. Blue topaz belongs way, way down on the list of things that can be potential health risks. But, if you're worried about it, have it checked. |

Hi,
Thought I better change the title. No, I'm not sensitive to sulpher or iron in the water. But I do think they are using a lot of chemicals like chloromides (sp?). There was something in the water report about the chloromides combining with bio matter but it wasn't very detailed (to me) about what that meant. The city water supply use to be well water (very hard) now it's from Lake Manassas. -- Connie Ryman Cryman Studio "BScott" wrote in message ...

Current state-of-the-art water sanitization uses chloramines instead of
gaseous chlorine to kill the "bugs" in the water supply. Chloramines stay in solution and active even in a "dead" section of pipe ( a place in the piping system that has no periodic water flow ) and keeps on killing the bugs there. Chlorine gas has a tendency to disappear in the "dead section" and allow bacteria to grow and eventually this bacterial growth reaches sufficient numbers to cause human disease. Chloramines are effective at levels low enough that the chlorine "taste" and "smell" are no longer apparent. In a gaseous chlorine system the plant operators have to "super-dose" the water leaving the plant periodically just to recharge the water in the "dead" sections and that event is nasty to the consumer for a few days. -- Don Thompson Remmy sez, Count de Monet.

Perhaps this conversation can be continued in private email, or some other newsgroup or forum more closely related to water and sanitation issues? Or something... I mean, if it even were related to the water supply issues in a jewelry shop, or something, then perhaps. But c'mon now... thanks. Peter Rowe moderator rec.crafts.jewelry |
