A...I have an Aquaphore filter and it works a treat. All that nasty Chlorine taste and whatever other junk they put in it is now filtered out. The difference in smell and taste between filtered and unfiltered is remarkable.<br /><br />I remember well my first home near Todmorden Lancashire, up on a hillside near the Pennine Way. I had only moved in a week when a knock came at the door and there was a little old chap, replete with flat cap, asking me for this year's contribution to the Henshaw Water Board. The what? The Henshaw Water Board - yep, my first home was not on mains water, it was connected, along with only 166 other homes, to the Henshaw Water Board, who supplied us all with fresh untreated water from the Pennine hills, through a 3600 gallon settling tank. And the cost per annum? A princely £10! Having handed over my tenner for the best water ever, I was given a set of accounts to read what they spent the money on (all £1670 of it) including postage stamps and asked if i would like to become a director of said water board. "We need some new blood" said the little old man! So I joined as an unpaid director and remained there for the 4 years I lived in that wonderful 250 year old Yorkshire stone house.Poisonedchalicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877122279794559618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-21862593702754817622018-01-05T10:44:58.337+00:002018-01-05T10:44:58.337+00:00All well and good Raedwald, but I still live in Lo...All well and good Raedwald, but I still live in London, and "raw" water is still very much a "good thing" as Sellars and Yeatman would have it.<br /><br />I bought a water softener around 30 years ago under the mistaken belief that my then skin condition was caused by hard London water, I later realised that there was a different cause. However the softener salesman was persuasive and he managed to up-sell me a new fangled device called a reverse osmosis system. I think this is what you mean by raw water, and I haven't had even a smidgen of cholera or typhoid.<br /><br />I would rather be drinking mountain water, hard or soft, but things aren't always how you want them to be.<br /><br />right-writesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-10905001020758857662018-01-05T10:40:55.767+00:002018-01-05T10:40:55.767+00:00It's "fluoride", not "flouride&...It's "fluoride", not "flouride".<br /><br />Don CoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
