I will need a biology microscope to investigate the exact nature of the material collected as *precipitate,* or it can be removed, dried, then burned and its' color spectrum analyzed for materials present. I will never have enough $ for the spectrum analyzer, but I might be able to borrow a bio microscope. Ever consider taking a properly-bottled sample to a competent testing lab that already owns the necessary equipment for a far more accurate analysis than you're likely to achieve at home? I know what is in the drinking water as far as the Village is willing to release to the public. They sent me ( as a homeowner ) an analysis a while back but for the life of me I can't find it at the moment. IIRC, it passed muster IMO, so maybe I tossed it. Did that at a previous hom because of exactly this sort of brown precipitate issue, and it was indeed simply a very high iron concentration. Turned out that beautiful light-gray sand our aquifer ran through was so high in iron that the sand would rust and turn brown if exposed to air for a few weeks. Well, iron is a necessary mineral for any healthy person, up to a point. Beyond that point, it becomes a POISON. 18 ( eighteen ) milligrams of Iron is accepted as the recommended daily allowance for one each adult human. Beyond that, you're asking for trouble. Also, the presence of bacteria in general won't confirm fecal origins, there are bacteria that thrive on dissolved iron in wells like that. A water district on the same aquifer had to repeatedly hoist and clean their well filters because the iron-loving bacteria would plug the intake filters. Zero coliform count, just lots of bacteria, and lots of iron. Actually, I read somewhere that it is a GOOD IDEA to let algae grow on your sediment prefilter, as this somehow helps in the water purification process. I don't remember the exact mechanism for this. I do know that I let algae ( green ) grown on my sediment pre-filter and do not *worry* about it contaminating anything. In fact, it helps in the cleansing process. I do still want a bio microscope though. I've been looking for an unwanted/unused one for years, but no luck to date. The ones on e-bay are to rich for my blood. Using polarized contrast-phase lighting, you can view LIVE specimines without killing them. So in summary, there are 2 kinds of pollutants: organic inorganic ( chemicals ) Both can hurt you. Cryptosporidium closed down the Milwaukee Wisconsin water supply not to many years ago. There was a boil order in effect for many days befor that was brought under control. Did you know that as few as 3 to 5 Giardia Lamblia cysts can cause Giardiasis? Explosive diarrhea. The kind that can dehydrate and kill you if you don't get the correct medicines in time ( Flagyl, etc. ) in the right doses. I know of someone who went to Mexico and ended up spending over a month in hospital for treatment of Giardia Lamblia infection. Then there are the otherwise unexplained brain cancers, liver cancers, bowel cancers...I don't rule out the water supply as a contributor to these killers. Belittle it all you like. Drink UP! Down the hatch...that a boy. Good Fella! My that was tasty wasn't it? Lg good morning Lawrence. people for a long time have made themselves happy with thinking how their government loves them, takes care of them and puts their well being first and foremost above all. me, I've known for a long time how the government is a bunch of liars who steal, lie, cheat and work from behind closed doors in order to maintain their privileged class existence at the expense of the [tax paying module]. understanding of how the [tax paying module] has been placed at the bottom of the food chain by the government sheds light onto the truth concerning just how much the government really cares. government plays a nice lip service to the lowly [tax paying module] with nice catch phrases such as, The Clean Air and Water Act, and another catch phrase known as Super Fund. there are two kinds of contaminates in the drinking water supply, chemical and organic. both got into the water supply by man's own carelessness and neglect for what is actually the right thing to do. forever industry has taken the less expensive route of dumping the chemical and heavy metals waste with the least cost possible to itself. usually this means out the back door and onto the ground and without containment of any sort rain run off carries these contaminates into the ground water supply. cities such as Raleigh NC which have experienced unreal growth as a result of everyone in the universe wanting to live there can't keep up with the demands placed on their human sewage treatment facilities resulting in overflows. sometimes reported as spills they are necessary to keep the city running and provide for the need of people to release their excrement. it is a sad state of existence we find ourselves in today on this earth as a result of the greed of many who would abuse others for their own gain. with government bought and paid for by the wealthy controlling privileged class, there is little hope of anything changing for the good of the financially challenged members of mankind known to the government as the [tax paying module]. people don't like being shown how they've been used and abused for years. the revealing causes those who have been used to enter into a state of denial whereby they are compelled to reject any notion of any other human having abused them. from a sociological stand point all humans are driven to expound with vigorous argument constructed from elaborate detail of how they are in charge of their destiny and in possession of a greater understanding of all matters than any of their competing fellow inhabitants. for this reason whenever one human makes an attempt to explain to other humans there will always be rejection for the explanation. the drinking water is polluted. man did it. man now gets to live with that. |
