Pure Water Doesn't Conduct Electricity

On TV they were doing a special on bottled water. Some were Spring water, Mineral water and Filtered water. They showed how Spring and Mineral water conducted electricity but Filtered water did not except the one where salt was added. A five gallon container of water has enough additives to fill a cup the size of a coffee mug. Not all additives are necesarly bad. Additives being mostly natural ingrediants.
I found this Amazing. I won't drink Spring or Mineral water because it is only tested every so often. I won't drink Tap water down here in Florida because it smells like Sulpher. I drink Triple Filtered water only. I just learned that Dasanni Filtered water has Salt added so I won't drink that any more. I use a large Brita Filter Pitcher at home for cooking and coffee(big difference in taste of coffee).

On the display table at the county fair, Aerobic has a gallon jug of their water. Submerged in the water is an ordinary light socket, with bulb, plugged in and turn on. That light burns under the water, because there are no electrolytes left in the water to conduct electricity and create a short circuit. Water by itself will not conduct electricity.
My mother, who is sort of a health nut, uses a countertop distillery and she distills all her drinking water. She carries a bottle with her in her purse all the time, so if we go to a restaurant, she has her own drink with her.

Water processed by Reverse Osmosis is one part of the triple filtering sevice, the second one is Charcoal Filtering and the last is Ultra Violet Light. This is the only water I trust except when boiling water for extended periods of time, like 10 minutes for Pasta.

If I knew then, what I know now.
NO! You may not have my guns! Now go crawl back into your hole!

I was going to make a special trip back to the distillery to buy about a dozen cases but they stopped bottling it-damn!
The analysis on the water was 99.9% pure. At least that's what they said at Jack Daniel's.
I don't know what type of processing they used but the water was excellent!
Sooner or later we all will have to use bottled water or process our own because of the pollution.
By the way,where do you get those counter top distillers?

Be careful when drinking distilled water. It is much better to find out what is in your water, and then tailor your water treatment to remove just the bad stuff. Where I live, we have pretty good water on the whole. There have been some small problems with a couple of the city wells with an agricultural chemical known as DBCP. Also, our water is chlorinated. I use a flow-through filter with granular activated carbon (GAC) which adsorbs chlorine and volatile organic compounds like benzene and DBCP. The filter set-up cost about $30 and the cartridge gets replaced twice per year at $10 each. Water tastes good and is safe.

Boiled water also has less oxygen, hence the bubbles that come to the top.

Reverse osmosis is just a sales gimmick.
Osmosis is like you stick the corner of a paper towel in water and it creeps UPWARD through it until the whole towel is wet.
So wouldnt REVERSE OSMOSIS be basically pouring it through a filter of some sort?
Osmosis is the process by which two liquids having different concentrations of ions and separated by a semi-permeable membrane achieve equilibrium over time. This is why drinking distilled water can be bad for you. The distilled water has a lower concentration of ions than the water in your cells and is separated from the cell water by the cell wall - a semi-permeable membrane. As the distilled water moves through your body, it carries mineral away from your cells.
Reverse osmosis applies pressure to the reaction and removes solids such as salts and precipitated minerals like iron and selenium.
So, Lightning, reverse osmosis is kinda like pushing water through a filter. water wicking up a paper towel, though, is an example of capillary action.
