Water

[Dro_Princess]

I have well water. We dont drink it because it doesnt have a filter on it and there is like dirt in it. We think because the people who dug the well put the pump too close to the bottom and its sucking up dirt. The well is about 350 ft deep so I know it not tainted water but I just dont like to drink dirt. Now to the question should I buy spring water to water my plants with or should my well water be fine since it doesnt have chemicals in it like tap water.

I'd try. Just test the pH and see whats happenin' with that. For me, i'm lazy so buying water would be a hassle

I use a filter and salt in my home for filteration, but I water my girls with the well water that is unfiltered from the outside faucet. Actually the other day I fed them with some lake water. I would say go ahead and use it and then you will find out if you get any symptoms. I think you will be ok. You can also have your water tested to know exactly what's in it. I don't think you need it, but the info that you will get from the test can only help you.

Would rain water be better?

You don't know that. You just likely don't have bacteria in a deep well, but depending upon the substrate into which it was drilled, you could have something else. So when the well was first drilled they should have tested it for arsenic especially, which can be a problem in wells. Shit, half of India and Bangladesh has arsenic in their drinking supply. It's really dangerous.

should my well water be fine since it doesnt have chemicals in it like tap water.

It just has DIFFERENT chemicals, sulfur is the problem at my parents' house, iron was a problem at my old place.

But well water is probably perfect for your babies. Keep an eye on pH, and hardness esp if you're doing 'dro.

I covered water quality in my last show you should give it a listen.

As for you water; you are assuming that it's quality water. Who know what the pipes that bring the water into your house is like or what the pipes may be putting into the water?

It's the stuff you can't measure and you don't know about. I'm sure it's fine and safe but for a few bucks you can have it checked and get a report. You may be suppressed by what you think you know.

An average filter for about 30-50 bucks will take the dirt out of your well water.

THEM BABIES DON'T MIND DRINKING DIRT. BUT LIKE WHAT EVERYONE HAS SAID,, CHECK THE PH AND SAVE THE BOTTLED WATER FOR UR SELF.

Yes and make sure you get a Sediment filter not a carbon...
