Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

and the fact that ultra pure water will also STRIP minerals from your body

Yeah thats the one Steve... Is that osmosis or diffusion... I forget. Plus the pH of RO water is typically around 6. Where our bodies need 7.2

We have iron in our water here and it leave nasty red stains over time on sings and tubs where water drips. I ran into a guy who swears he installed a large set of magnets on his incoming water line and that it stopped these stains from appearing. Hmmm I have some 2.5 inch rare earth magnets laying around I guess Im going to have to give in and try it That is as long as I can do it without breaking a bone in my finger while handling the magnets.

Heard about a student who microwaved water and of course let it cool and another plant had water that was not nuked the one witch was nuked died within a week?

yes, i was forwarded that email a while ago by a mate. i was very stern when i said "it may well be true, but i'm not going to forward it on until either you or I try it", as there were no references other than vague "school girl"

yes it MUST have been the microwaves. couldn't have been anything else....

I could just imagine taking a seedling back to a nursery and saying it died - and then the salesperson saying ' you must have microwaved it then!'

lol

Ok... I can definately test that theory very easily...

Maybe because he was tipping boiling hot water on the microwave water plant... lol!

Don't make me get tecnical, but that myth is definitely busted... Hehe, guess what I am watching
right now!

Your microwave?

Hehehe... NO! Smart arse...

EDIT: In case anyone didn't catch the sarcasm... this is a joke...
