Calicat Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hi all, Quick update: my daughter's tic level has continued to stay moderately low... hooray! As for me, I feel somewhat addicted/obsessed about figuring this whole thing out (not that I let her see that part). I'm putting together a "health team" right now... starting consultations and doing "interviews"... I've found a NUCCA chiropractor, a naturopath, an environmental doctor, and I'm working on a regular doc too, since that is something we don't have and the environmental doc requires it. So I'm slowly getting things together. About the water dispenser: We have well water here that concerns me, so we drink bottled water, but I'd like to get a dispenser for those big bottles so I can have more on hand to use for cooking, etc. Doris Rapp (Is this Your Child's World?) suggests a dispenser with no internal plastic parts for the water to sit in/go through. I checked out some "water crocks" online (you can google it), and found these ceramic water dispensers, lead free of course. Some were even plain, unglazed terra cotta, and they claimed that those would lower the water temp by about 10 degrees over your indoor house temperature, due to slight evaporation through the crock. This sounds good to me, but I wonder about a couple of things. First, would any mold or slime grow on the inside of such a crock? Is unglazed terra cotta completely safe? There were also a couple of freestanding metal or ceramic water purifiers that rely on gravity to force water from the top chamber through filters into the lower chamber (I suppose a bit like a giant Brita). What do you think of this? Would it remove enough out of the well water? Thanks, Calicat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calicat Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 bumping this up... Please, anybody have advice about water? I need to take the plunge and buy some kind of dispenser, as we have been living on small bottles of water, and it is quite inconvenient. Thanks in advance, Calicat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemar Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hi Calicat I honestly dont know re unglazed terracotta so cant comment on that We use a Culligan reverse Osmosis unit for our drinking water and have a whole house filtration system, but we dont have well water and I know that sometimes brings new challenges sorry not to be more helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
