It would be interesting to see the results of well water and alkaline water for comparison. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I've been wanting to know this, and it shows up on my feed. Perfect timing 👌
I placed a link in the video description area to the water filter that's a single stage that I use under my kitchen sink. It's connected to my refrigerator and a water spout on my sink
I was very surprised myself. The only reason why it was that clean, was because all day it was overcast and we had light rain intermittently. After the light rain, I put out a collection bowl before the heavy thunderstorms in the evening. The bottom line is, you don't want to collect rainwater that just starts falling it needs to be falling for hours and then you start collecting it so the air has been cleaned out.
This should not be surprising as rainwater *is* distilled water. It is only contaminated by airborne particles and aerosols, which will largely disappear after the first few minutes of rain. People often prefer drinking water to have some mineral content to affect the taste as distilled/rain water has no real taste. I *hate* the idea of outlawing rainwater collection, but in the U.S. this is the result of multi-state water rights agreements that effectively designate a state owner of every drop of rain before it hits the ground; it has nothing to do with the "quality" of rainwater as it will be very dirty by the time the rightful owner receives it. This is stupid and often pointless as a lot of home-collected rainwater will later be released as runoff or into sewage systems which themselves empty back into the rivers.
Rain water harvesting has become less illegal. It was illegal in 2 states a decade ago and now is not illegal in any states. Colorado has some limits on it now, that's all.
@@fZionists78 The problem is 95% of people's toothpaste contains fluoride, so searching for small amounts in the water is not going to be beneficial as long as people are still using toothpaste with fluoride.
virtually all sources of water have flouride as Fluorine is one of the most abundant elements on earth. Most filtered waters don't have it, just use reverse osmosis if you don't want anything.
My grandpa used to drink rain water, and some people probably thought that wasn't too healthy, but your results show rain water is among the best! I'm curious to know how much of the plastic could be contaminating these waters, and if that plastic contamination would show up in 1 of the values of the analyzer?
Great video for City living as the man, the myth, and the legend said, " Good water, good life. Bad water, bad life. No water, no life." Water is more than that pasteurized thing on the shelf today or recycled from your last flush to your faucet. Along with all the misery of those overworked, underpaid, and poked and prodded into rinse and repeat lives. Natural spring is the best and always at the highest spring.
I remember that Coca-Cola had some problems with their first bottled water. It was simply too pure, in the grade of distilled water. The problem was that it tasted like distilled water, which means it tasted nothing. Thing is they were purifying normal water, but the filtering was incredibly effective. I can't remember what they did about it. Either they could use less effective filtering, or they could add some salts to the water to achieve a taste that were more attractive. Now I haven't seen their water for a few years so i have no idea if they are still selling it.
Well I had a look at their website and they own Dasani and Smart Water as well as some other water brands. But I'm not sure if any of these were the ones that had the issues. I remember that they sold water in cans marked with the Coca-Cola brand, and those doesn't seem to be available now.
Hi mate i have a question about my jetwash, thought id leave it here as you may be more likely to see it than on your jetwash video from a few years ago. Ive had mine about 3 years and used it quite a lot. It has 2 pressure settings, standard and high pressure cleaning. I pretty much always use high pressure cleaning. The last time i used it i could hear a weird grinding noise and could smell burning, when i turned it down to standard it went away. I want to be able to use the high pressure but also dont want to break my jetwash completely. Do you have any idea how i can fix this? Its a stanley DTS something not sure the exact model
That's true, but you have to figure in dust in the atmosphere as well as all the psychopaths involved in geoengineering our skies. A lot harmful chemicals being sprayed to alter our weather
As a truck driver having run over 1 million safe miles across 48 states I rrally think there is an effort to prevent Americans from getting the best clean water. They barely distribute Evian as much as the others.
Evian is the best due to highest mineral content. imho natural occuring minerals are what helps you stay mineralized and hydrated, not washed away with distilled water, for example.
Well you have to realize that we get a lot of minerals and vitamins from the food that we eat, so it's really not necessary to have it in the water if you eat the right foods. The one thing that was not tested in this video was microplastics that may be found in bottled water. In order to do that I would have to take my microscope out and analyze every sample. According to a test done a few years ago, Evian tested as one of the highest for microplastics
@@Charlemagne1367 I like the taste, but I think I'm going to stick with the Crystal Geyser for water that I may drink while on the road or working outside.
Maybe not a good test to you, but to all the other appreciative viewers out there, they understand that this video was extremely useful tool in evaluating the quality of the water. Microplastics are not only in the water we drink, but it's also in the food. So looking for microplastics in the water is not going to benefit you anyway unless you have a food source that you also know has no microplastics.
Great video! I personally place tremendous value on having high quality drinking water.
You may want to look at ‘Water Filter Guru’ but go back a while for the best filter system.
Love/appreciate you as well!
I feel the exact same way about the quality of the drinking water. Glad you liked the video!
I use an old tap filter, well past replacement, into a water filter perch. Unfiltered Tap water tastes so nasty now 😝
Love this channel. Project farm another great one too.
Glad you enjoy the videos!
As usual, awesome testing with great information! Now I am wondering how our well water readings would turn out?
I should have taken a sample of my well water and shown that in the video too
bought dollar store,but one gal no handles hard for me to pour,so i put them injug with handle
Super intresting thanks for the video!
Glad you liked the video! Be sure to share. Thank you

Excellent! I don't have a water filtration system except for the filter in the fridge. Would you share the info of your water filtration system model?

Blown away by the rainwater. No wonder rainwater harvesting is becoming increasingly illegal in some states.

Any way of finding out how much Fluride is in various drinking water?
I would have to use fluoride test strips
@@electronicsNmoreimportant, yes?

Got it. Time to drink rainwater
Thanks for this….Wish you would test Mountain Valley Spring Water! In regards to your rain water: what area of the world/country do you live?

Is there a way to test for plastics leaching into the water?
other videos yea

Its a stanley DTS something not sure the exact model
So which water out of all those is the best????
manually distilled water = 0 on tds meter
Evian PH level was great too right?
Rainwater is basicly distilled water.
That's true, but you have to figure in dust in the atmosphere as well as all the psychopaths involved in geoengineering our skies. A lot harmful chemicals being sprayed to alter our weather
Thanks ❤🎉❤
@@antonego7950 You're welcome!

I want no Microplastics or Flouride in the water.
So for healthy and cheap water.dollar store is worth it
What about ice mountain
A lot of these brands don't mention how much if any fluoride is present for healthy teeth enamel. Won't be any in rain water.
👍👍
Glad you liked the video!
If you must drink plastic

Good info thanks
Evian feels 'heavy' compared to waters with lower dry residue count.

@@Charlemagne1367 I like the taste, but I think I'm going to stick with the Crystal Geyser for water that I may drink while on the road or working outside.
He gets a lot of sun.
why didnt you test the distilled water as a control?
There was a notation in the video that when I tested distilled water all readings were zero
tx
It's just drags get to the point.
Or had lmao
Fluoride
To specifically look for fluoride I would have to use a test strip for each one of the brands
Micro plastics… Sorry. This is not a good test of much. There are so many other variables being unaccounted for.
