    …is it pure water?
    I’m moving to southern Indiana, looking for the purest, nearest, free, natural water source to save on water bill and health. If anyone has any info please let me know via email

    I have collected water from this spring, it comes a very (very) light
    brownish color, however don’t let that discourage you as i have tested
    it with everything in this kit and pretty much everything panned out,
    also tested the tds below:

    http://www.amazon.com/First-Alert-WT1-Drinking-Water/dp/B000FBMAVQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1304710424&sr=8-2

    Every test was good except (and obviously) the bacteria test, which in
    itself wasn’t really valid as it required you to put it in a warm place
    with BACTERIAL GROWTH FORMULA, as we all know its very possible for
    bacteria to form, the question lies on whether or not there is active
    and live bacteria that can actually harm you.

    As well the “hardness” was rated above the normal or accepted, however i
    found that the TDS meter registered around 30 steadily rising and
    halting at 40.

    The pH was just perfect around 6.8 or so, didn’t measure the temperature however i can assure you it was pretty cool.

    Yeah I’m curious about this one too.

    Slightly brown… but what’s the bottom line?
    Good to go?
