Re: [ai_ney] What type of WATER?
yeah lor.. dunno why is the water like "teh tarik" when we have the natural resources/equipment/humans maintaining it Unsure ..wondering if they did it on purpose so the "water" market (filter/diamond/etc) have more businesses...hmmm...Unimpressed

Anyways, we feed our furkids reverse osmosis water.. (those in big plastic "tongs") or boiled filtered tap water...

Re: [ai_ney] What type of WATER?
RO water is like battery water/distilled water...no minerals left in it. Some call it 'dead water'. Shocked Actually recent studies have shown that ppl who take RO water on the long run suffer from more decay of the teeth due to the lack of flouride found in normal water. And apparently the lack of minerals in the water makes the water totally non beneficial for us. Unimpressed

It's clean...but TOO clean. No more minerals left Smile

Re: [nathalie] What type of WATER?
the teh tarik colour is the sediments and most of the time, rust. Water found at the treatment plant is very very clean...up to about 99% clean. But the problem is not with the water treatment plants & pumping stations...problem is most of the pipes that carry the water to our hse is rusty...thus the 'teh o' water we get. Sometimes in the morning when u turn on the tap u can actually smell the rust.

Boiling water won't help. You can only remove chlorine from water if you boil....and that's if leave at boiling point for at least 20 mins (by that time all water also evaporate liao...hehehe). Tongue

So if don't filter properly, you can leave your boiled water in a mineral water for a few days. You'll find sediments at the bottom after a few days Unimpressed

Re: [cshellz, ALL] What type of WATER?
Found this from a website... worth a read... and i welcome comments...

"Two things contribute to tartar on the teeth and to gum disease: 1. Quality of food and 2. Type of water provided. Foods containing non-organic, low quality sources of meat, sugary ingredients and high carbs contribute to dental disease. Drinking distilled water will help prevent tartar or calcium build up on a dog's teeth and under the gum line thus reducing the incidence of tooth loss and gingivitis. Chlorine, Chloramine and other chemicals used to treat city water can cause severe allergic reactions in pets. Any pet with allergy symptoms such as itching, dandruff or hair loss, should always drink distilled water exclusively. Pugs with breathing problems should never drink tap water due to their high incidence of allergies and their crowded teeth. - Per a visit I had with Dr. Robert Wiggs, Dallas, Texas - The leading dental vet in the country, plus an officer and one of six Diplomates teaching for the American Veterinary Dental College"

ionised water is something similar to alkaline pH water and it contains more oxygen. RO water is not good coz it flush out all the nutrients frm our body, it's basically mend for ppl with diabetes etc, this is my 2 cents anyway Tongue.

HI nathalie

yes, unfortunately the problem persists. I used to work in an Engineering company that builds water treatment plants so that's why i know of the conditions there. Tongue

My family invested on a water treatment system that uses activated compressed carbon and UV light. filters sediments, kills viruses and bacterias but maintains all natural minerals. Wink

Re: [nickanna] What type of WATER?
hello, Smile

From my understanding, distilled water removes bacteria and viruses and inorganic contaminants but again, most beneficial minerals are removed. Also because it generates high heat, certain chemicals with low boiling point like chloroform can't be removed.

My dad was pretty concerned about getting a system that maintains the minerals cause he did some research and our family dentist told us that he has experienced many tooth decay cases from families who drink RO/distilled water because of the lack of minerals like flouride for our teeth. Pirate I think that scared him....hehehehe LaughLaugh
