Most bottled water is just city water from a different city than your own The plastic is far worse for you and for the environment than any little bit of copper that could leach from the pipesIf you are concerned about lead, let the water run for 2 minutes out of the tap farthest from the water meter before using it.If you are on a well, and you are legitimately concerned, pour a gallon of bleach down the well, wait about an hour, then let the water run for 2 minutes
If you are on a well, and you are legitimately concerned, pour a gallon of bleach down the well, wait about an hour, then let the water run for 2 minutesLisa, have you ever had a well? Pouring bleach down one is not very easy on any modern bored well, because they build them to minimize the risk of anything getting down them (and you should have a check valve on the pipe). Secondly, a gallon of bleach isn't going to do much...If you have a well get your water tested now and then, and if you have a problem either put in another well or deal with it on the surface.
My well is 91 feet deep and has 50 feet of water in the bore. A PINT of bleach will make the water smell like city water for a week. A gallon in my well would bleach your clothes. I put too much in one time and the water would dry out your skin and make it burn.I have used well water on a few occasions.
As to well water. I am not a well guy, but I've sold a lot of rural real estate as a broker. Be SURE to get your well tested. Bleach does kill bacteria, but until your well is tested, you can never be sure that it's not recontaminating. Lots of very bad bugs can make their way into well water. If your aquifer is contaminated, then it's an ongoing problem, and the water is not potable. PLEASE take this seriously. Some of the potential infections are either devastating or fatal.
If the contamination is in the water line then bleach might, but in the more likely event that the contamination is in the groundwater the bleach won't do much. There's a lot of water down there...That said, neither myself nor neighbors nor family have ever had a problem, though wells are kept sealed, piping in good shape, and animals/septic away from the well!
I use tap water because it is drinkable in most European places.Temperature from ice cold to 37°C = 98 °FMost often the temperature is a little cold 25 to 30°C = 75°F to 85 °F
Tap water for my sub. Unless I would have distilled water (which is what we drink and cook with) heated from brewing tea.
Tap water.However my city puts chloramine in the water to kill bacteria in the water. Thank you, that's what I want. But if I put this water inside me will it continue killing friendly bacteria in my gut? Therefore I put a pinch of vitamin C powder in my tap water to neutralize the chloramine before I use it for enemas, for drinking, cooking, etc.My city also fluoridates the water. I'm not too pleased about that, but not too worried either. I eat plenty of iodine-rich foods like sea weed.
Your enema washes out your colonic bacteria.NORMAL feces (that means from people who DO NOT use enemas) is 20-50% bacteria by weight, so your enemas are doing a lot to alter your colonic bacteria aside from what the water additives may do.
To sort of recap:1. Bottled water is usually city water from another city. It may be filtered, or not. If your tap water is safe to drink, it's safe to squirt up your ass.2. Distilled water costs $$$, tap water is essentially free.3. The minuscule amounts of contaminates in tap water (Unless you're in Flint, MI) are NOT going to harm you.4. If you use water from your own well, pay a lab to test for contaminates. (You might decide not to drink it.)FINALLY:5. As mentioned numerous times here, buying bottled or distilled water for your enemas is a waste of time and money!
I like to use mineral water on occasion. It makes for a more crampy enema, especially with Lobelia or garlic added. Otherwise, tap water is fine.
Live in the country with a deep well as a water source. The water is processed through an iron tannin methane filter and softener as well as a chlorinator prior to being used.
Tap water. It's purified to drink, so why not?Months ago I watched a Youtube video about tap water vs. bottled water. It explained the stringent laboratory tests that were performed daily by the City of Toronto on its water supply as compared to best-known brands of bottled water, which requires very lax standards at its various sources and only at six-month intervals.Of course, not all public water might be tested to the same standards Toronto uses. When I relocated to Toronto from NYC in '73, there was a news item at around that time that admitted the NYC water supply contained minute worms, that "in no way were injurious to health and that it remained safe to drink." 😕
Most municipal water contains chlorine and minerals from sub soil wells or rivers. Using a water filter may remove some of these. Bottled water may be filtered and usually is not chlorinated. Distilled water is heated to steam then cooled which eliminates contaminants. It’s your choice what you put in your mouth or backside. Got it!
Prefer distilled water but it is expensive and is used for travelling. Tap water works ok and is used most often.
Tap water, I adjust the temperature to be slightly above body temperature.I know some people suggest boiling water than having it cool down but I don't see the benefit if using potable tap water.
I have taken tap water in cities wherever I lived as long as it is suitable for drinking, regardless of hard water or soft water. The hardness of the water didn't change any effect on me. No additive and slightly higher than my body temperature.
My tap water comes from our own well. No chlorine or fluoride or any chemicals. Just a bit of minerals that make it "hard" water. It makes a mighty fine enema.
Just regular tap water, same that we use for everything else in the house, including drinking. We are fortunate that Danish tap water is very clean.
Most tap water is safe.Know your tap water and decide accordingly.Do understand that any chemicals leeching from the container can hit the system a lot faster than when you drink it orally
