Isn't the number within a triangle some sort of carcinogen index? Look on the bottom of any disposable cup or jug.
The groundwater 75 miles away contains Pb. and Selenium and tastes like ****. I added the asterisks. Fill a crystal clear glass with water. Let it sit and evaporate. You can not see through the glass. TDS are that high.
So I use lots of purified water as compared to to what folks use on the states. No cooking in domestic water. Bleach added to all waer including bath. Water is shut off often. When pressure resumes long stringy green things come out of the unfiltered outdoor faucet. The Mexicans call them "lamas". The house has a 1-micron water filter. I have to carry what I buy and I am not donating squat. Hence the question about squash-able water jugs. They hit with road with me. But they're what (?) fifteen dollars a pop? As far as siphoning, dream on when it comes to believing there exists one inch of white potable water hose within 500 miles of here.
I'm just trying to writhe and wiggle a little to lessen the burdens of being a fragile oldfart.
Thanks for the suggestions. They have catalyzed my thinking about how to live more comfortably.
