Testing and Filtering Your Water – #SolutionsWatch
If you’re a regular Corbett Reporteer, then by now you’re aware of the danger to human health caused by water fluoridation. But are you aware of the chlorine and other potentially toxic and carcinogenic substances in your tap water? And are you aware of your options for filtering your water and how to test to make sure you’re getting all of the particulates out?
Join James today as he talks to a water expert and answers some basic questions about testing and filtering your water.

Dealt with a Leaf Filter sales guy trying to sell me their gutter guard system. I invited him through a circular that was placed in my mailbox. High pressure. One time savings if you buy immediately game. His sample products were old. Ignoring pertinent questions by changing the subject. A young impatient man with an ordered sales spiel. Not impressed. Might as well have been selling vacuums or Amway products.
I had to coach him down from his red faced anger fit when I told him no. He did not want to know why I said no. It looked like a good system but it still needed semi annual maintenance that involved ladders and hoses which I already have to do. Multiple pieces butted together without connectors of any sort that kept the seams tight. Simple expansion/contraction forces will create gaps much larger that the highly touted fine mesh screens which were the product. Once the debris finds its way into your gutters through those gaps there is no easy access to remove the filters for cleaning purposes.
Not impressed with Leaf Filter, in general. A revolving door of young sales people pressure pushing an imperfect product.
This water filter rep was using much of the same routine in his presentation. Corbett was buffaloed, I think.
My young neighbors installed a reverse osmosis filtration system. They have a system of adding beneficial “nutrients” back into the water after it is filtered. I did suggest that he find a testing service that tested for organochlorine type impurities before and after filtration. High water tables with shallow wells adjacent to an heirloom orchard might be a problem.
DDT, with its long half life, will be with us for a long long long time. Especially, when it is underground and not exposed to UV light.
Rain water collection system.
Be prepared to dump the grid.
That will be the first step to enter a parallel system.
Hey, that’s cool. Trade toxic municipal water for equally toxic rainwater.
Given the saturation of the atmosphere with aluminum, strontium, barium, graphene, polymers and more by the constant spraying, the rain (even the rain in Spain) falls flat as a pancake in the safety category.
That makes no sense. Every scrap of water starts as rainwater and it all filters through the atmosphere.
Your treated tap water will have all that rubbish dissolved in it PLUS the stuff the water company adds.
Rainwater even unfiltered is probably less toxic than tap water. And if your rainwater has been boiled and filtered it’s probably next best choice after good mountain spring water.
Check out what your pets or livestock will drink. They will usually choose a muddy puddle before our tap water. And they’re not daft.
What you say is 100% spot on – IF the climate engineers did not constantly (and I do mean constantly) saturate the skies with elements at least as toxic as anything that goes into tap water (except of course for tap water in fracking areas).
Mate –
Where do you think your tap water comes from?
It comes from RAIN that falls into a reservoir and then gets pumped full of chlorine and aluminium and God knows what else before you drink it.
It’s exactly the same stuff you find in your rain barrel but with even more crap added.
You can’t avoid drinking modern polluted rain water unless you drink spring water that’s been filtering through rock for a few hundred years.
Which is why rain water straight from the sky is a better option than the same rain water straight from your tap.
The aluminum and chlorine are added in water filtration plants. Aluminum is used as a flocculent to settle out solids in clarifyers. Chlorine kills microbes after settling and sand filtration. Simple process that does not happen in a rain barrel. I would worry more about what your roof is made out of. My new roof has flecks of copper that impedes the growth of moss and algae. Copper piping, a building code requirement, is a natural bacterial growth inhibitor. Every heard of Bordeaux’s Mixture? A copper based mold inhibitor used in vinyards to stave off leaf mildews that nearly wiped out the French wine industry. I digress….
There’s many ways of purifying rainwater, go read a few permaculture sites and they will indicate ways to do it.
Do these atmospheric impurities dissolve into a permanent solution or do the impurities bind with soil particles on the ground. Kind of like glyphosate screamers. Glyphosate is formulated for binding with soil particles and breaks down fairly quickly. (I know. Everyone is pissed for at me for writing this.) Relax. It is just real facts. Volume and concentration makes no difference in the half life of the chemical. I am not saying it is or isn’t harmful. I am not advocating for it’s use one way or the other. Just stating a fact. The same for chemicals in the atmosphere (whether they are intentionally added or pouring out of an industrial smoke stack or a tail pipe). Do the suspended atmospheric solids, that cause condensation and fall as a constituent of rain, bind to soil and separate from water before rainwater percolates into the ground water? We are assuming. Simple chemistry.
Water should NEVER have been handed over into the hands of the private sector.
Because the government would NEVER try to poison us?
Name one private individual or company willing to not pump shit into our new water supply. Just one. If you all stopped voting for obvious charlatans we the people could be the government.
Just because she doesn’t trust government doesn’t mean she DOES trust private companies. What’s wrong with your thinking? Maybe she is saying they’re both as bad as each other. In fact these days is there even any difference? Government is controlled by corporations anyhow.
“People, man.” A line from the movie, Crash. The character recited the line just before he was shot to death.
Don’t see much difference either way. Would you feel safer right now if HM Government was deciding what goes in your drinking water?
What goes into water isn’t the only consideration. Two documentaries – Blue Gold and (I can’t recall the other one just now) present what happens when communities turn public water over to private concerns.
As bad as public control of water is, private control is even worse.
I’ve been using a water distiller for years. You can add minerals after you’ve distilled it if you wish. Running cost is about 30 pence a litre currently, and it warms the room up at the same time. That’s a bonus in winter.
I’ve been thinking of distilling some bottled mineral water to see if that is as pure and clean as we think.
Depends what you mean by “pure and clean”. Water isn’t ever pure H2O and isn’t meant to be. It all has ‘contaminants’ (not all bad or toxic) dissolved into it from its journey through the atmosphere and minerals dissolved in from its journey through rock and soil.
You will always get brown residue when you distill these out, no matter how good your water source is.
This from another contributor a year or so back (sorry, forgot who you are) :
https://truthaboutfluoride.com/do-berkey-water-filters-remove-fluoride/
Berkey water filters show terrific results in reducing the fluoride,
But
https://truthaboutfluoride.com/berkey-water-filter-scam/
they only work under ideal pH conditions,
and even worse, they dump other toxic shit (aluminium) in the process
Water filters only reduce the fluoride by a few ppm, maybe to half.
Sorry, off topic, sort of.
France. The last bastion of resistance?

My mother paid the bills. I noticed her focus. And I asked questions. Such as….how much is the water bill? 20 cents a month, she said. I was the second youngest of seven. None of my brothers and sisters had a clue. Nor did they care. I did. I don’t know why. I could tell it was important and it drew my attention. What the fuck. I was five. Why did I care? It was 1961. I watched constantly. I remember. I reacted to emotional cues. Facial changes, etc.. Hard to miss. Kids know everything.
You suddenly remind me of Tony Opmoc
Yep another life story post
Point being, water was cheap and the context was needed as a citation of sort to provide “proof” of the number. That’s all it was.
Your alternative update on #COVID19 for 2023-05-01. ARs with WHO just hit 5m. Macron’s drones vs French people’s black umbrellas. Cooling for the last 4k years (blog, gab, tweet).
Fuck
EVIAN backwards ?!
Very good: how about CIVLOV?
affordable what a joke……thousands of dollars. i wonder what his kick back is. no talk of water distillers, I wonder why!? is that because it makes your whole half hour advert for water purification obsolete!!
you can get 316 marine grade water distillers for £250 which can also distill sea water as well as hard water etc. i only need to purify the water i drink. my last washing machine lasted over 30 years in a hard water area. distilled water tastes excellent and before anyone comments that distilled water strips you of minerals no it doesn’t , we get most of our minerals from food not water.
;-D. Brilliant.
RIP in peace my friend
Distillers are very expensive to operate. Like a space heater. And producing a few gallons of water takes hours. Berkey gravity filters do a hell of a good job.
A solar distiller would be cheap, but cut out too many parasites.
Mine cost less than a £100 April 2022 at todays rate electricity 33p/kwh works out at less than a £1 per day for 4 litres of water.
What is the brand and name of the machine you are using please?
Oh yes it does.
It’s pretty basic really, equilibrium. Your body and the water will chemically balance …… derp
Reverse Osmosis (RO) water is obviously the worst, because it really does have sfa salts.
Can you provide more information? Never heard of this.
My experience with it is as a brewer.
Sometimes we use RO water so that we can start from zero. We add our own salts to replicate water from different parts of the world in an attempt to more accurately replicate some beer styles.
Personally, after having spoken with enough scientists about this, I reckon it’d be a reckless thing to drink.
you would rather drink fluoride poison than RO water ??
I wouldn’t drink RO water therefore my preference is singulaly fluoridated water. Awesome bit of reasoning there.
no wonder you are such a submissive pussy with no greater spiritual powers/awareness. Humans with functioning pituitary glands, (that fluoride is known to and meant to calcify/destroy) can do telepathy, astral projection and all kinds of other cool shit your masters have got you to beg to give up. Good slave.
Fluoride makes you obedient, unquestioning, docile and unable to rebel. Loser.
Mate he’s sarcastically commenting on your assumption about him. He’s not saying he actually prefers fluoride. His point is your assumption that if he doesn’t drink distilled water he must like fluoride makes no sense.
ok, thanks. guess I’m just not up on the Brit slang “singulaly”
It’s a word, look it up. Maybe you should lay off the distilled water for a bit.
even before Cleggy prodded me I was thinking I was maybe too harsh on you Stop tpm, so I apologize. I take it you are not in the US where the vast majority of water is Fluoridated. And … brewers are some of my favorite people
Apology accepted.
I have lived most of my life in Australia. I am now in Mexico as the though of sharing the same oxygen with many of the people there I find to be totally fucking nauseating.
so, just to clarify, and this is not Just to STPM but all who read this……. if you had to choose between for the rest of your life drinking ONLY heavily fluoridated water or RO filtered water, what do you pick?
yeah………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….crickets……………………………………………………………………………………………………….. I thought so
This may clarify it a bit more: https://www.carahealth.com/health-articles/water-articles/reverse-osmosis-the-real-story
is that so!? proofs in the pudding and i have noticed i feel great drinking this amazingly clean tasting distilled water or maybe im imagining it, my energy levels have improved too but maybe it’s just another coincidence eh
tea and coffee also tastes better
You can add trace minerals back in to distilled water. That’s what I used to do
+10
Just because you take a different view you feel the need to go in there and attack and rubbish him? Why? What’s actually wrong with suggesting people filter their water?
nah just speaking my truth mate
at the end of the day i see what ming is left at the bottom of my distiller, smells like death
filters are fine if you can afford it
I took a photo of the brown sludgy stuff left in the bottom of my distiller. I like to show it people who think I’m exaggerating.
And yes, it’s not pleasant.
exactly observer, it looks like the anti-distiller op is in full swing here. who in their rite mind would want to consume this sludge full of traces of everything you can think of that goes into the human body voluntarily and not so. 5 down votes…..oh well jog on and carry on drinking the koolaid.
all them sailors that have been drinking distilled water on ships for years must have been ill-informed too
Thanks Dom. I only do what I sense is the right thing to do. Chemical fluoride and calcification of the third eye is the reason I started distilling my water. That was about 10 years back. I even place shungite stones into my water dispenser. Best tasting water ever.
You will get “brown sludgy stuff” as a residue whenever you distill water – even the purest mountain spring water.
That brown stuff is not just impurities it’s also all the minerals and micro-nutrients that we need from the water.
Good spring water will probably produce more “brown sludgy stuff” than tap water.
probably…………what a joke making it up as you go along. shares in water filtration is it
No mate, I just don’t agree with you. And I know a bit of basic chemistry. You can easily prove me wrong by distilling off some good spring water compared with tap water. See how much sludge you get.
Then add some basic electrolytes to your distilled water and distill again.
I predict you’ll get brown sludge as the residue of those salts.
