Water Forum?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Electric Utilities and Y2K : One Thread

Does anyone know of a forum as good as this one, but on the topic of creating, storing and maintaining a clean water supply? Specifically, I have a pool and am wondering how to make so much water drinkable, and how long it stays that way, once filtered or treated. Seems pools will be a good source of water for communities and neighborhoods...... Any thoughts?

Don't think you will find an active group for such static information, but here is a good FAQ:

Yourdon's forum, has some info too, but it is not as well documented:

http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a.tcl?topic=TimeBomb%202000%20 (Y2000)

Look for an appropriate sub-group at the Yourdon site if the FAQ won't do...

What I would like to see is a "Water Utilities and Y2K" forum.

Try the American Water Works Assn, www.awwa.org - there's survey results there, and I believe they also sponsor a public forum - but I could be wrong. ;-)

Eric, For a pool what you should do is go out and buy an ozone purifier for your pool. Stop putting Chlorine into your pool and hook the ozone purifier to your filtration system according to the directions (or have it installed). You can find out information about ozone purifiers on the internet and at any pool supply place. If Y2K turns out to be a bust you have a backup water supply for power outages or water problems. And you have a clean healthy pool without using one of the most toxic poisons on the face of the Earth...Chlorine. Benefits: 99.95%+pure water, eliminates cost of chemicals etc, no iritation of eyes, ears, etc, and can purify the pool water to use for drinking etc. Pure potable water. Ozonation was/is used in the Olympic pool during the 1984 Olympics, Athletes from around the world took bottles to the pool for clean water to drink rather than use the Los Angeles water supply.(see news reports from that time) Ozonation is used to purify water on your store shelves(Great Bear and other names). Ozonated water is Hydrogen Peroxide. Hydrogen Peroxide has numerous uses. A couple are: used on skin, clears up acne, heal burns, cuts, etc. As a gargle (read the bottle) will kill a cold , flu, strep throat if caught soon enough. CAUTION!!! DO NOT drink Hydrogen Peroxide you buy in the store 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. It contains a buffer and is not good for you internally. It will not hurt you if you do swallow it ( I have many times, tastes terrible!!!), but it will make you feel nauseous. There is a type of Peroxide called Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide it is 35% and concentrated. It is very concentrated ...Be VERY careful around this, it must be cut to the proper proportion on the label. Food Grade peroxide is used to sterilize food processing equipment, vats, containers etc. Hydrogen Peroxide is what the Space Shuttle uses to get to space at a very high level 90% pure. It will work on cancer, AIDS, and many if not most other diseases. On a search engine on the internet type in Oxygen Therapies and you will come up with many other links on its uses. Either Hydrogen Peroxide or Ozone. For medical Uses go to the New England Medical Journal and put in Ozone, Hydrogen Peroxide and Oxygen therapies and you will get about 2500 hits. Ozone generators will purify the air and water. Please look into it for a Y2K or emergency use or if you know anyone with cancer or AIDS. Any questions about it please let me know.
