Another Water Thread.

[Winnie]

While looking for waterbutts, I came across this:

http://www.harrodhorticultural.com/H...re/GWT-037.htm

I was thinking about getting some to help keep the water sweeter once I've got the waterbutts. Anyone use them?

Oh and if only I could afford one, this is the little baby I want!

I've never heard of ceramic chips being used. I'm curious what they mean by keeping the water sweeter? Are they implying potable?

[Rick]

I've looked and can't locate a source that says what they are made of (besides ceramic). I've never heard of using ceramic to prevent algae growth. I don't understand how it would work.

I use a bit of bleach in my "water butts" (water barrels) to keep them clean and prevent algae growth.

[Winnie]

They're made of a specific mud, usually used as mudballs to keep pond water clear, in that state they only last a season.
To answer your question Crash, no it doesn't make it potable, just clearer and cleaner.
Here's a bit about it, I'm working at the mo, so will try and find more info later.

[Rick]

Well, cool beans! It was the E.M. portion that I should have been looking for. Thanks!! Another day of learning. I love it!

[crashdive123]

Thanks Winnie.

[Winnie]

Found another link to these EM seramic thingies. This one has far more info! Think they may be worth it.

Had time for a proper read of this, Some of the claims sound a bit far fetched. I think as a water cleaner for static water it may just be OK though!

[Batch]

Things look like Raschig rings to me.

Pack your reflux still and run you off a batch of some low bush lightning. For fuel purposes only of course.

[Winnie]

Don't mean to be rude Batch, but could you repeat that in English?

[Rick]

Yeah. English would be good.

[hunter63]

Winnie, thanks for the links, never heard of these.
I a bleach and boil person myself.
Got to say they are real proud of their products, I made do with a couple of 50 gal drums from a soda syrup manufacturer, to collect rain water.

Wonder if these rings would help in these?
