When we talk about the importance of water quality for our health, various water purification techniques especially the idea of home water filtration come to mind.

It is no surprise that there is a strong connection between the quality of water that we drink and a long life full of health. In order to stay healthy we need to intake adequate amounts of good quality water. This can be proven by the fact that all over the world and throughout time, wherever you find the healthiest, most contaminant-free water, you find the most vibrant civilizations with the best health.

Once we understand that the body is more than 70% water and that water controls virtually every aspect of our health, we can begin to understand the true importance of high quality water. Water, not just that which we drink, but the water that we shower in, cook with, prepare juices, teas and coffee with etc. affects our health significantly. Water is the foundation of the body, and, like any structure, if the foundation is of poor quality, strength and longevity will not be achieved. Hence, it is important to understand the importance of water quality. Following pointers will help you understand how high quality water helps keep the human body healthy:

For most indoor growing applications whether growing in soil or with hydroponics, tap water is the best water to feed your plants with. The excess Chlorine sometimes associated with tap water can be dissipated by standing the water in a container open to the air for a few hours before use (12 to 24 hours). Sometimes excess chlorine can make the leaves twist and contort out of shape, so we would always advise allowing your water to stand before adding to your system or watering.

It seems that plumbing in my house has a problem with water hammer. First, I thought it only occurs when toilet tanks are filling back with water, but I realized that it happens whenever water is used anywhere in home. It just that water hammer is not as bad when I use faucets. So I’ve been trying to figure out where or source of this water hammer. By listening to where the sound is coming from, and by touching the water pipe with my finger tips, I learned that sound is loudest where the main water pipe comes in through the concrete wall. I guess I can install a water hammer arrestor. But I am trying to understand why water hammer is occuring. Here is my guess. Please let me know what you think. There is a branch near this point where pipe leads out to the faucet outside the house. While water tries to flow further into the house, perhaps vacumm is being created in this branch pipe and causing water hammer. Is this possible? What do you think? Thanks!
1. Noise comes from pipes near water main, not the toilets. noise just louder with toilets, reduced intake valve and reduced noise
2. With my fingertips, I can feel the pipe vibrating.
3. Perhaps water traveling to water softner and bouncing back?
4. Checked diaphram valve on toilet, it looked fine.

I guess I’ll just install couple water arrestors and see what happens…

We have culinary water for our house and secondary (irrigation) water for our sprinkler system in our lawn. We recently installed a spigot next to our garden that feeds off the irrigation water, sprinkler system. We thought it would be cheaper to use the irrigation water on the garden because we water so much, but now I’ve heard that irrigation water can be hazardous to use on vegetable that we will be eating. Is this true?

Hello! I may have a problem with water hammer or pockets of air or whatever in my plumbing system. In order to troubleshoot, I want to drain the water from the pipes for the whole house and then refill it. What should I do with the water in water heater and water softner? Do I drain the water heater and water softner? Just turn power off on my Kenmore water softner? or use bypass valve? Thanks for your time!
