Yes Jeff,

I have been asking the same question about water quaility to
landscapers for two years now, just in the context of watering and
mineral scaling of irrigation systems, now mixing it with tea
accentuates it. When we starting brewing tea this year I had the county
water department test our water sources, well and city water, too much
salt in the well and city water. In other parts of our county they not only
use chlorine, but chloramine, which I do not know that much about, but
understand it is harder to get rid of. --- Elaine?

We are trying different purification devices, but don't know if they change
other good things in water. We have no choice because we have to get
rid of the salt - Elaine said the salt was way too high and effecting
microorganisms, but many questions remain and we are constantly
searching for units that only get rid of salt and are cost effective
--anybody has any suggestions or thoughts or knowledge?

When I told a vineyard manager we are supplying test tea to about our
findings with salt and microorganisms degrowth they said they had
been trying to purify their water also, but not very effectionly, they went
out and bought a $13,000 ionization (deionization?) unit. I don't
understand that technoloogy and salt reduction and the company won't
give them hard data, but I guess they had a good salesperson.
