Hi Neville, Our roof has copper gullies between gables and I know other roofing materials could be problematic, especially where there is heavy industry nearby, like fracking. It's for that reason that I'd never recommend rainwater use to anyone whose circumstances I didn't know. That said, and where DW is impossible, obviously one chooses the best available, and yes, in a health emergency, I don't think less well-made CS, used briefly, would be catastrophic.
My generator simply shuts off if the water isn't void of any contaminants, even reacting to prilled water, so that rules here. As for fluoride, I've brought my son and DIL up to speed as Marin County, CA may become yet another place to succumb to fluoride 'disposal' into their water mains. So depressing that this can still happen. Like the frackers want to dispose of their frack water as 'ice melt ' and 'dust control' in poor counties and townships where snowy roads are an issue and an expense. Like we really need benzene, toluene, proprietary toxins, and radioactivity draining into local streams, blowing in the wind, etc. Be well, Léna On Aug 20, 2013, at 8:22 PM, Neville Munn wrote: > @GWilliams...I have made it using rainwater, many times, of course it will > have compounds and organics etc included from whatever comes off the roof > into the tank, but one can achieve a high concentration of silver in 3-5 > minutes brewing.
