Guest guest Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Thanks for the explanation, Karl. What a wasteful way to make pure water!! Carol karl [k_t723] Friday, July 11, 2003 8:40 PM To: Re: Bottled water is two years old --- Hi Carol , had to collect the checks today just got in .the tap water is the cocktail, the Ro system puts the " bad " [acid , contaminates] water down the drain that is why it takes 5-8 gallons of tap to make 1 gal. of pure water or at least as pure as your system is designed for, considering the supply karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Then is there any use for the “waste” water? You probably couldn’t – or shouldn’t – even use it in your garden, should you? It’s amazing all the chemicals we are exposed to on a daily basis.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Of course virtually everything has a downside. The biggest Mac downside is probably available software. Of course there is more sw available for Windoze because there are many more WinTel boxes out there than there are Macs. Many sw companies, however, are finding that selling to Mac users is more profitable per sale because fewer Mac users find it necessary to call customer support. Customer support is not a minor issue for sw publishers. I find that if i need sw for a particular purpose, it is available. I am sure that most PC users would be startled to learn that M$ Word and Excel were brought out for the Mac first, and later ported to Windoze. For those who do a lot of graphics and multimedia work, The Mac is FAR superior. There is also much sw for the Mac that has no equivalent in the WinTel world. In my experience, a mojor problem encountered by people who switch to Macs from PCs is that they tend to try to make things overcomplicated. Virtually any task can be accomplished with fewer keystrokes on a Mac than on a PC. On the other side, Mac users who begin learning Windoze tend to oversimplify things. Another " downside " that PC users attribute to Macs is that they come with a one-button mouse. This is not really a downside at all because the Mac mouse is actually a four-button mouse -- except three of the buttons are on the keyboard. Holding down the " Control " key while clicking the mouse button is the same as a right-click on the PC. The " Option " and " Command " keys also modify the effect of mouse clicks. Furthermore, many third-party mice, trackpads and trackballs work on the Mac. I use a Logitech optical three-button mouse w/scrollwheel. The way i have it set up is left button = click, right button = double-click and the button in the scrollwheel = right-click. There are two perceived " downsides " to the Mac. One of these is the clock speed of the processor. Mac users refer to it as " the megaherz myth. " The Pentium chip uses CISC (Complicated Instruction Set Computing). The PPC chip in Macs use RISC (Redused Instruction Set Computing). What this means is that a given task requires more clock cycles to perform with a Pentium CPU than with a PPC CPU. Generally speaking, a 1 GHZ PPC CPU is approximately as fast as a 1.8 GHZ Pentium CPU. Then too, the new G5 has a 64 bit data path and uses DDR (Double Data Rate) memory. This means that twice as much info can pass through the motherboard at a given MHZ as can through a WinTel motherboard. Couple that with the fact that the new top of the line G5 has two 2 GHZ chips and you have the fastest desktop computer currently on the planet (approximately equal to a 6+ GHZ Pentium -- of which, of course, there ain't no such animal). The other perceived downside is that Macs are more expensive. Although this was once true, it is now in the realm of fantasy when all of the features that come standard on Macs are taken into account. One would have to add quite a few cards, etc., to a PC to bring it up to a standard Mac. I saw a price comparison of Macs to Dells (known for their low prices) in a PC oriented magazine recently and on the low end, Macs and Dells were about the same price after the Dell was brought up to the Mac features. On the high end, the Macs were actually less expensive! Because Macs are less popular, the tend to have built-in compatability features. Macs will read PC-formatted disks. Then too, if i really need to run PC software, i just fire up Virtual PC and Windoze XP loads up within the Mac OS and i can switch back and forth between them with a click of the mouse! If you are serious about possibly switching Donna, contact me off-list, neil, and we can " talk. " >I am going to have to try a mac and see what the difference is. Is there any downside? > >Anyone?

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 --- actually those that can afford it can funnel the acid water to the shower thereby effectively eliminating the need for soaps in the shower. my system has an adjustable Ph(3-10) setting so that I can go with a Ph of 3.0 for cleaning and disinfecting; for drinking water I set it to 7.5-8.0 a good portion that is laden with contaminates is still lost, but when one considers that all water municipalities recycle the water at least 8 times before using fresh. that is correct your tap drinking water at one point had human waste products in it!!really more like 8 times it was mixed with the waste and re-filtered!! then sent to the tap!the best systems have an adjustable Ph setting,mine was 2600$ and I installed it myself karl In , " Carol Minnick " <carolminnick@a...> wrote: > Then is there any use for the " waste " water?

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 YUK!! How disgusting!! I’m never using tap water again!! Carol karl [k_t723] but when one considers that all water municipalities recycle the water at least 8 times before using fresh. that is correct your tap drinking water at one point had human waste products in it!!

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 ---oops! did I say something I was not supposed to say(hehehe!) most people are horrified at that one! speaking of which anyone familiar with " dillo-dirt " ( may go by other name in your state but if you have " home depot, it's there) well it's composted human waste from the treatment facilities sold at your local hardware store for your " yard " but be sure not to use it in your garden( if you have to use it at all) that is correct you pay to flush then it's sold back to you more than once in more than one way,mmmm!mmmmmmm!! aint capialism grand!! namaste and the goblin hole goes deeper In , " Carol Minnick " <carolminnick@a...> wrote: > YUK!!

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Hi Karl. Do I understand correctly that you are recommending that people could shower in this RO waste water????? Since the skin absorbs even more than our digestive system, this seems like a horrific idea.
