We have a well and we soften our water so things we wash including us rinse clean. Thats the biggest difference. Well water before the softener in the line is also palatable, non poisionous and has noone elses medications in it.

For those of you with any type of water, what is it that delivers it to you? Copper, cast iron, or pvc? Even the pvc that is supposedly for potable water is still pvc. Pvc is poison from start to finish.

I really hate city water.
Hmmm. Interesting points, MMe M. Have had experience with both chlorinated water (over a period of years while in a city and presently in a semi rural setting) and bore water (for six months while further out bush). Hair was good in both situations without shampoo and skin without soap.

I think most of the water where I am is PVC delivered. Will have to check. I know many fish breeders use PVC in tanks as hiding holes and breeding areas, and they haven't reported toxic problems as far as I know. If I had the time and energy I would set up a couple of bath tubs outside. One with clay drain pipe elbows I picked up some years ago, and one with a stack of new PVC (thoroughly cleaned before hand), and leave the guppies to it (though they may be too hardy for such an experiment). Indoor tanks have never been successful for me, but outside in a bath tub anything breeds. Could be a sort of cannary test. Kribensis lay eggs and are good breeders. Eggs don't do so well in toxic water.

But with so much toxin around in the world, I just don't overly worry and look for things to eat that counteract the poisons.
