You oughta try California water !! It tastes alot like something that comes OUT of your washing machine, but with a few tablespoons of baking soda and a few Tablespoons of Bleach in evey 12 OZ glass !!!
It is so bad that the water heater will short out from hard mineral formations in about 6 months unless you have a zinc installed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The toilet forms a nasty crusty ring that has to be scrubbed off with wetsand paper...weekly......I FEEL so much better here just drinking this water. My body feels better. I think living down there for 10 years made me very sick.
I will tell ya what, our rain water is deliscious !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you filter you rain water?
Yes, it goes through a drain pipe "sock" section (used to enclose drain pipe to keep sand and sediment out) and then it goes through a big but extrememly tightly woven coffee filter, fits right in the tank lid opening which is the size of a big margarine container.
Then once the tank is full, which takes about 2 hours
we add 3/4 c unscented bleach, and then cork it up.
That way the whole tank is clean and chlorinated.
