r/water

I Dont know why they dont use unfilterted water or salt water. we are running out of clean drinking water I dont think Data centers should keep being built until we get Claimate change delt with.

Groundwater it is... Whenever we fill the tank (usually at night around 11 pm)... Initially the water is highly brownish, after 2-3 hours (as I've usually seen) it becomes a little better, still with a yellowish-brownish tint... In the morning, the color is almost entirely gone and we get almost clear water...

The water smells metallic, never really tasted it but can surely say it tastes nothing like normal water...

My question is, am I safe using this water for washing my hands, feet etc... I don't use it for showering though...

But for bathroom stuff, if the timing is bad (like those early hours after filling the tank) I don't really have another option...

That's it, I love water

Our house’s primo dispenser just kicked the bucket. We LOVED the taste and everything about it, but we HATED lugging the jugs. What’s a good alternative?

In the 1990s, the building industry made a massive mistake. They abandoned copper plumbing for cheap, flexible plastics like PEX and PVC.

It was a race to the bottom to cut corporate costs, and it sacrificed the long-term health of our water infrastructure.

We should rewrite building codes, based on what's right, not by what corporations and/or our government wants.

We know now that neither of them have humanity's best interests at heart.

Copper should be required

Here is the truth about what happens inside plastic pipes, and why copper is the ultimate remedy:

The Plastic Leaching Trap: The danger of plastic pipes isn't touching them - it's drinking the water that sits inside them.

Underground plastic plumbing is semi-permeable, meaning it can actually absorb outdoor toxins (like automotive fuel, lawn pesticides, and chemical fertilizers) straight through the soil and leach them into your drinking water.

Over time, heat and pressure cause these plastic polymers to degrade, micro-leaching synthetic chemicals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) right into your tap.

The Copper Shield: Copper is a pure, immutable element.

It is 100% impermeable, forming an impenetrable barrier against outside soil contaminants. Even better, copper is naturally antimicrobial.

It continuously releases microscopic ions that destroy bacteria and viruses on contact, completely blocking the buildup of slimy bacterial biofilms (like Legionella) inside your water lines.

ALL Pets should have copper water bowls

Protecting Our Pets: This isn't just about us. Plastic pet bowls are a breeding ground for bacteria, scratching easily and trapping nasty biofilms that can make our animals sick.

Copper naturally sanitizes your pet's water and prevents that slimy buildup completely naturally.

(Note: Make sure to use unlined, pure copper bowls and only fill them with fresh water. Never add anything acidic like apple cider vinegar, as acid can cause too much copper to dissolve into a small animal's system).

The Suppressed Pool Secret: This isn't just about your kitchen tap.

Homeowners are kept entirely in the dark about using copper ionization in swimming pools so they stay trapped buying expensive, harsh chemicals.

A copper pool system slashes chlorine needs by up to 80% - permanently destroying stubborn black algae without the burning red eyes, toxic odors, or equipment corrosion caused by heavy chemical saturation.

We shouldn't be forcing humanity to drink out of cheap plastic straws disguised as plumbing.

Choose quality. Choose health

More About Copper

Highly effective at destroying bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant superbugs like MRSA, and viruses, and acts as an algicide

Continuous Contact Killing: Unlike liquid disinfectants that evaporate or wear off, copper continuously releases ions that actively disrupt microbial cell membranes and destroy DNA. This makes it a popular material for hospital touch surfaces and everyday plumbing.

Essential Human Nutrient: Copper is an essential trace element required for vital human physiological functions . It acts as a cofactor for enzymes that generate ATP, produce hormones, and create neurotransmitters .

Wound Healing and Skin Health: Copper plays a key role in physiological processes like angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and tissue regeneration . For this reason, it is frequently embedded into medical fabrics or skin ointments .

Agricultural Disease Management:

In horticulture, copper is a fundamental micronutrient for plants and a widely used protective pesticide . Farmers frequently use copper-based mixtures (like the famous Bordeaux mixture) to prevent blights, leaf spots, and mildews on crops

We Can We Do?

For most people, replumbing our homes isn't an option - what we can do is the following

I Use:

Bathrooms

• shower filters Kitchen
• 3-stage filter to a dedicated drinking faucet

Optional:

• water filter pitcher - run filtered water through again
• store in glass serving jar w/spigot

---

I Also Use:

Sole Water

Sole water is a fully saturated saltwater solution made with unrefined Pink Himalayan salt. It contains trace minerals naturally found in the salt.

Some say it contains 84 trace minerals

For Electrolytes: Use 1 tsp per glass of filtered water

We don't get enough minerals in our diet anymore, so many of our foods have been depleted

I don't want to pay money to corporations that make synthetic vitamins and minerals

You'll Need:

• Pink Himalayan salt (unrefined)
• a glass jar
• filtered water
• a plastic lid (metal lids can corrode)

Directions:

• Fill ¼ of glass jar with Pink Himalayan salt
• Fill the rest of the jar with filtered water
• Seal the jar with a plastic lid
• shake gently.
• Let it sit for 24 hours

Your sole water is ready when some undissolved salt remains on the bottom of the jar. This indicates the water has become fully saturated.

If all of the salt dissolves, simply add more salt and let it sit for another 24 hours. Once undissolved salt remains at the bottom, your sole water is ready to use.

RO Water

Reverse Osmosis is great, but it depletes the water of all the minerals the body needs.

Remineralize RO Water / Distilled Water

Use: Pink Himalayan Salt (Fine Ground)

- 8 oz glass 1 tiny pinch (1/16 tsp)

- 1 Liter: 1/18 tsp

- 1 Gallon: 1/4 tsp

Is this me only, or central delhi like Karol Bagh, Patel Nagar and Rajendra Nagar, is facing this issue that water smells like sewer, it feels disgusting to live in my own house atp!

Now, the Nueces River Authority’s funding for the desalination project is months from running out.

"Conceivably, we're out of money at the end of August in desal," board member Dan Suckley said at the agency’s June 25 meeting.

NRA CFO Robin Murray did not dispute him. "If we don't receive these additional payments — yes," she confirmed.

NRA Executive Director John Byrum has pointed to a possible financial lifeline: federal money he has told public audiences is coming from President Trump, though no commitment has ever been made and the record of what was actually requested remains unclear.

Given the raging fires in Colorado, it seemed like a good time to post this

with all this controversy over AI, and the large facilities water usage. Is there a push by these tech. billionaires on developing cooling methods that don’t use so much water?
