the fact that it attracts minerals it don't attract it fills the empty water 
with pipe and plastic and tells me only use glass for my pure water and 
stainless steal and should show you the above statement that pure water to 
me increases water ability to take away wastes.  not pipe because what I do 
is clean the pipe lead out . that's why when you buy water in plastic 
containers it taste like plastic because the water is pure not because it 
attracts plastic please.  it takes up stuff easy like nutrients and wastes. 
oh you need to taste the tea it makes.  IMHO rain water you say is pure I 
guess that's not nature.  ice pure also not nature.  hehe  give me a brake . 
I get my minerals from what I eat and drink not from the water and you are 
right so what.  I don't need all the stuff that's in water now days just to 
get the little good.  .  are you kidding.   anyway to each his own.. to me 
water water every where not a drop fit to drink. but mine  lets talk about 
all the bad in water .  and most of it is bad.  I get letters from the water 
company all the time telling me that water I drank last month tested bad. 
how do you undrink last months water after the fact.  I have more doubts 
about what folks call water than pure water.  some folks take the water out 
of rivers where you can't even see your own hand.  they fix it up make it 
taste like water and give the people that.  I have to try and take all the 
stuff they put in out and clean it up and out comes water.  h2o and pure 
water has no taste.  if you make it using only the sun and what a natural 
thing that is . Natures own water.  where the sun draws the water up .  that 
is what rain is and I feel this is even cleaner than rain because rain has 
to pass through the air that man has also messed up.  ever hear of acid 
rain.  this water does not attract pipe like a magnet it fills the empty 
space in pure water and the city is so full of junk it can pass through the 
pipes and not pick as much up . same as when u drink that water its so full 
of stuff it don't pick up and clean you aND instead of cleaning and taking 
out waste it leaves you something , fluoride, clorain, lead etc.  IMHO give 
me clean water anyday.  to each his own.  i don't like to take a bath in 
city water let alone drink it.
