We seem to agree. Personal experience. I used to do presentations involving water and chemistry. I resorted to bringing my own water. Pre 9/11. Imagine today traveling on a plane with 20-30 gallons of water.

To the subject the water to your home depends on many things the quality of the water supplied as well as where your home is on the supply line.

More old history. As a summer job around High School I worked in a machine shop.
One of the products I worked on was making faucets out of monel an expensive hard on tools stainless steel. They were used down south. Besides the cost, our plumbing is all plastic. Our water will quickly destroy brass or copper. No I am not. was not, a machinist a slightly more than minimum wage machine watcher
