Many thx Brooks for your comments much appreciated. While I realize that wetting water has more solublity etc... why go through so much trouble when a little natural detergent could get same results??
There seems to be all sorts of over priced stuff being sold and I tend to discount the sales hype. Am looking for do it your self stuff. Assume you have also seen Grander's living water site? http://www.cableregina.com/users/dstewart/ Have you read Davis and Rawls books? They are must read.
