RO water is Reverse Osmosis water.

Taking cal/mag/zinc in an already balanced supplement is not going to help

you if your body is unbalanced, or if your intake is unbalanced via food

and/or water consumption

Dana,

You can buy kits that you can make it with, just google it and you'll

come up with some stuff. I buy oxygenated water in glass bottles

that has a high PH, but it's really expensive. I drink it

occasionally but mainly like to keep it on hand in case my daughter

gets sick, when she gets ketones, there's too much acid in her body,

so we get her to drink as much water as possible. The higher PH

helps get rid of ketones quicker.

We were looking for a reverse osmosis water purifier for under our sink in the

kitchen so we would have to buy and haul water every other week. Would you

happen to know, precious oracle of valuable information ;-), if there is a

better system?

Well yes I would!! Have to run this morning though so don't have

much time. Bascially most R/O units are about the same so you can

stick cost wise to a less expensive one, the problem with R/O units

is that they filter out everything, including all the good minerals,

so if you have one you'll need to make sure and take a good mineral

supplement. Also I would find someone else who has one before you

purchase it, because personally I don't like the taste of the water.

It pretty much tastes like dead water, which when you think about it,

is exactly what it is. I researched this issue heavily because we

have a serious fluoride problem in our area due to a screw up with

the amount of fluoride added to the water, so we have double the

legal limits in our water as of now. Found either the Mutlipure

water filters which IMO are one of the best filters on the market

which we almost bought, but the drawback is that they can't filter

out all the fluoride, they get most of it, but with the levels we

had, it wasn't going to get enough of it out. If fluoride is not a

problem then Multipure is a great filter. If you want more info on

this contact me, I have a supplier who uses the commercial version of

these and the price is better. Then we went to the R/O and had one

put in because my oldest son needed it for his fish tanks also.

That's about all we used it for because none of us liked the taste of

the water. Then I found info on the alt/med group from a doctor who

lives in our area regarding Mountain Valley Spring water, from

Arkansas, which delivers in our area. Long story short, researched

it, tried it and loved the water. It comes in glass bottles and we

have a dispenser cooler that also has hot water for tea or coffee or

cooking. The water is absolutely delicious and has lots of magnesium

and other minerals in it and the distributors here are a wealth of

info on chemical and hormone exposure. They deliver in all parts of

the country, you can check out their website at

www.mountainvalleyspring.com and click on delivery to see if there is

a distributor in your area. I'll check my file on them and send you

some other info this afternoon.

That's great, we love their water. Even my teenagers are drinking

water now, and for one of them that's a major feat. He's been my

pickiest eater ever since he was born and he hates anything that is

healthy. I've found him several times at the cooler!! He even likes

the greens formula I got for my daughter that's chocolate flavored.

He's been adding it to his instant breakfast.

The other thing you might consider is getting a whole house filter,

we're having one installed next week so that we can get rid of the

fluoride exposure through bathing and showering. My daughter likes

to take long baths and I've banned her from doing that until we can

rid of the fluoride. I just hate the thought of her soaking that in

through her skin. I can't wait to have it installed. It's supposed

to clean your clothes a lot better also, gets rid of the hardness of

the water here. I'll let you know how it works. Our distributor

here sells and installs them. I'm pretty spoiled with the spring

water though and I think we'll probably keep that for drinking. But

I'll be able to cook with the other filtered water.

Some of the stuff I've read has linked the chlorine in the water

supply to heart problems and cholesterol problems also. I've got

some of that info saved if you're interested.

Linn,

A whole-house water filter...that would be a dream come true, but I don't think

we have room enough for it. I am supposing this goes in your garage? If you

don't mind me asking, was it way expensive???

We have a problem with chlorine anyway. We have a hot tub and we like using it

especially this time of year. We've tried the Baqua something-or-other to clean

it and that left THE nastiest tar-like ring around the water line every two

days. Went to bromine and we all know what that does to you. So we went back

to chlorine.

I'm pushing for an ozonator as a Christmas gift this year. Last year we bought

each other a gas grill with a side burner so that if we had a boil-water order

AGAIN this year during hurricane season, it wouldn't take so long. Didn't have

to use it against all prediction from our lovely weather experts. YAY! I

should shut up about that cause hurricane season isn't over yet.

Hope you're going to have a great weekend. Go have some fun!

I'm looking into getting a whole house filter. You can rent them from

Culligan for $25/month, or buy them. I think the full setup is $1,000

(sediment filter, charcoal filter and softener).

Alternatively, I just bought some smaller ones (also culligan, but bought

them from an individual, just for my barn for the animals, but am going to

install them in the house), I will need to change the filters more often,

like 1-2x/month, but that's ok, they were $125 each, so for $250 we should

be set. As a matter of fact, the plumber is in the basement right now

looking at how to set it up.

The whole house filters can be very expensive, I hadn't even

entertained the idea until I found the Mountain Valley distributors

here. Theirs was very reasonable and had the most impressive specs

I've found so far. The cost is about $1700 and that's with a special

fluoride filter custom made for us, and that includes installation.

You can put it in the garage, but most people put in on the outside

of the house.

I did do something fun today. We have our annual Nutcracker Market

here in Houston this week, went and found all kinds of goodies to

buy. Now I'm in the holiday mood.

Remember that not all of us live where it doesn't freeze ;-)

You need to place the filtration system where it won't freeze, i.e., in your

basement if you live were temps get low at night.

It was lovely, they go all all with the decorations and there are

loads of Christmas items, lots of clothing and purses, (although

pretty pricey) and lots of decorative items, wrought iron, flower

arrangements, food etc. I haven't been a in a couple of years, lots

to see, must have spent about 4 hours walking through everything. I

was pretty tired when I got home though, am hoping it was because I

didn't drink much while I was out and the only halfway decent thing I

could find to eat was a baked potato with meat. I haven't spent that

much time walking in a while.

Linn,

Putting the filter on the outside of the house would be a great option. Thanks

for the info on cost too. I'll contact the Mountain Valley people when the

budget calms back down from the interior renovation project we've been

doing...for way too long I might add. ly, it's a wonder my husband and I

are still married at this point.

Glad you're in the holiday mood now...it's coming up quickly...In fact 2007 is

just around the corner! I spent yesterday (day off) wrapping holiday gifts for

our clients. Got 15 done! YAY!
