Aluminum oxide cannot be present in dissolved form in water, it is 100%
non-soluble. A very fine powder could be transported by water as a
slurry, suspension, or colloid though.

Don't know if you can answer this Marshall but I'll ask anyway out of
curiosity.
Is it possible for the waste byproduct of aluminium processing plants
added to mains water supply to contain any aluminium oxide - at all?

Alumina is aluminum oxide, a very hard ceramic. It has a wide range
of uses, from grinding abrasive, plastic filler, electrical insulator
(like for spark plugs), filter medium, paint filler/pigment, catalyst,
and gemstones, such as rubies and sapphires.

Hi Joe,
Is alumina the same as aluminum? If it is wouldn't that be a poor
choice to shower in?
Thanks.
