Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Karla, yes, it's sad but true, it seems that the wasteful RO systems are the only ones that get rid of the flouride. Flouride is your tangible evidence that your government loves you and wants you and your family to be dumbed-down and compliant comrades (see our FILES on Flouride). A good charcoal filter will take out chlorine, ag chemicals, heavy metals and other pollutants. There are also good systems that clean up and soften well water WITHOUT the evil salt pellets. For all water testing and questions about water go to our very own JEFF THE POOL GUY. We are so lucky to have him here, and if there's something about water or water quality that he doesn't know, I'd be very surprised. Get a hold of Jeff today (find his contacts in the DATABASE), get his literature, have him send in your water for testing (he already has the results for all the regional city waters), then get one of his ECO-SMART filters and live long and prosper!

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Thank you Will for your input. I will check that out!

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Will, I have been unable to find out which jeff is the one you are talking about. We need a water filter. Could you send the info or tell me where to find out about the water testing. candy > > Karla, yes, it's sad but true, it seems that the wasteful RO systems are the only ones that get > rid of the flouride.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Ricky, On the Marathon platforms we send Micro samples every month and chemistry every quarter. We also test for hydrocarbons when necessary and twice yearly we test for legionella. We monitor chlorine levels onboard as do the production operators. We make water through RO units and bunker water from onshore if the water makers go down/can't cope. For any bunkered water we get sample results sent ahead before it is taken onboard. I hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 All, Each client will have a different way of sampling, but please take into account that anyone on the UK sector or under UK legal administration should sample in accordance with the " L8 " manual (Legionella) and in accordance with the previous samples. On our platform we check chlorine levels and temperatures weekly to ensure that we are within " L8 " guidelines, we send samples of water for Bacterial - Chemical and Legionella at regular intervals based on the previous samples - Therefore - If we sample each for 3-5 months and all are clear (Or within safe and legal limits) then we will reduce the amount of samples to 3 months. Then if after 3 sets of 3 monthly samples (For each test) we are again clear (or within safe and legal limits) we will sample yearly or if anything changes. Remember that in the UK, guidelines remind us that we should take " Suitable and sufficient” samples from varied locations at varied times to prove that we have potable water (Drinking water) of a standard expected within the UK mainland. Just because we are floating in the middle of the sea does not mean that our workforce can expect anything less that the same type of water they would get when they turn on a tap at home. In my experience - The water offshore (That i have tested) is of a better quality (Chemically - Bacterially & Legionella speaking) than my own at home. My Client have their own water guidelines, which better the requirement. Put it this way - If you went to court and had to explain your actions or reasons, being able to say that you followed the L8 guidelines is good, but saying that you meet and exceed the guidance is even better. One point to note. If you have any pipework that holds drinking water and it is not used (Dead leg), then these should be removed or have a valve attached to allow you to drain that water away. Even in a system that is dosed with chlorine each day the stale water in that dead pipework may still hold bacteria that could flourish and contaminate the rest of the water.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 HI you all Very interesting article to read. The UK procedures appears to be better than what we had to do on the USNS & USS ships. Thanks for the info.
