I only notice the chlorine smell in the summer. I always thought that those little germies got more prevalent in the summer.

The water for irrigation south of 44 is reclaimed/recycled waste water. Irrigation water south of 466A and between 44 is non potable water dawn from an aquifer. The water cannot be treated for drinking purposes.

I have been using the CPAP machine for over 12 years with the TV tap water!!! Look at me and I am still alive and healthy! Every month I used vinegar to clean the water chamber's residue! Breathing from tap water is the same as distilled water because the moisture in the air is the same, no different. Only the difference is the residue in the water chamber is from the tap water! If you do not agree, google how the water is distilled!

Sure, it's made and bottled in WI but the ingredients come from Wuhan, namely the water and bottle.

The Villages had two wonderful presentations about the advanced waste water and also storm water.

back flushing increases brown particulate in the water. i have to change my whole house filter more often and it is reddish brown but my water is clear.

We distill two gallons a day for drinking and cooking purposes. The residue is always a cloudy gray which we clean daily with vinegar. We also store the water in glass jars and never in plastic containers.

Not distilled but great water.

It definitely depends on what part of The Villages in which you reside. I just had mine replaced after 8 months. My three filters looked brand new, and I was informed that I could go to an annual replacement.

You moved from the Villages right? Maybe I am wrong.

If you towel dry your car before the air and sun dry it you will not have spots. You could also try a dish washer rinse agent or something like car washes use.

My CPAP water chamber says distilled water only, so I use distilled.

It amazes me how many people believe where their water comes from, how it is treated, and what's in it can vary so much when getting the answer is only a phone call away. FYI, I'm between 466A and 44 and my potable water comes from the groundwater from the aquaifer. Make the call.....please.
