Observed: we have been here for a week now and we all, including the cats, have softer hair or fur. My skin has been clear, despite it being That time of the month.
The water, or perhaps plumbing, in our old apartment was absolutely atrocious. I considered it undrinkable. We used a Brita pitcher, which would always develop an omionous orange tinge after a month or two without washing. And our shower was just a nightmare if it wasn’t kept up — again with the orangeish color on the walls. We tried an in-faucet filter in the kitchen just once, but within two weeks it was so full of deposits and who knows what, the flow was just a dribble. The water was awful, the pipes were sixty years old, and I put that shit into my hair and my body for three years.
Now we are here, drinking clean water, washing ourselves in clean water, and I can already tell the difference. maybe I will get pregnant now, right?
Okay, I’m off to the farmer’s market.
Oh, yuck!! Sounds like a definite metal, likely iron in the water. Super gross! I’m a stickler for water as well, and so I installed a reverse-osmosis unit on my kitchen plumbing. You can get adapters that make the install easy, and you just get a tank that you have under the sink, which reaches up to a little spigot on the sink. I loooove it.
Good water; clear skin, softer hair… That’s what life is all about… I am glad for the “side effects” you are experiencing and that the icky water is out of your day to day life. Maybe the water could help with pregnancy, oh yeah and I happen to know that sometimes being around the most fertile of women, well I am a believer and well I happen to have three kids ( :
