Re: RO/DI poll

I have a well so I don't have any "bad stuff" in it. I've tested it and ammonia, nirtrites, and nitrates are all zero. Have NOT tested for other minerals and such though but then again, this is the same water running into the ocean!

Hard to tell with a well because it changes from area to area. I grew up with a well and the water changed depending on spring or summer water levels underground. We would get heavy calcium deposits or iron deposits in the animal troughs. (yes I grew up on a farm)

My biggest concern with well water would be metals. Maybe a pet store can do some tests for you without you having to buy dozens of test kits?

People come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
