what is the best kind of water? For ourselves, for figs, and for our life?

I have been trying to learn more about water lately and it seems there are a lot of ideas floating around the scientific community. I have learned that there are three different types of distilled water and that they are all different chemically and energetically. And now I have also learned that the structure of water is very important to. So what I would like to ask is does anyone know,or has experience in the field of water science who could shed some light on what has and is being said about water?

Here are a few videos that might explain what sort of information that is out there that I'm alluding to.I hope we can all share our thoughts on the subject because I think it's important that we know more about water, given the fact that water is what keeps us alive as well as our plants and figs alive as well.


















Run, run far away from these shysters. I've never seen any university papers testing these systems, and I've asked.

The best kind of water is what I use. Pumped from my own well from a depth of 300 feet, treated with a cat ion resin softener system. Never tasted water like it anywhere, never took a shower in any water softer. (And I do nit give a s**t about what these "experts"say.

I will admit that I didn't look at the videos after reading all the comments, but people and plants have lived on this earth for thousands of years drinking any water that is available, well, rain, rivers, streams, lakes, you name it.  What worked for our grandfathers can work for me.  Our water is very hard here, and we have a water softener.  Because of the salt, I water my plants with the outside water.  I drink the salted stuff.  You can't taste it, but I salt my food, so don't see a difference.  Charcoal filters will purify water as will the seeds of Moringa Oliefera.  I buy and drink bottled water when I'm on the go, but when in the house, I cook with and drink tap water.

Hi  I have city water in the house and well water irrigation outside for my lawn and I use this to water my figs.  It has some iron in it.   On my house water, I have a salt tablet water softener and a charcoal filter unit.   Under the sink I have a five stage ion system.  Water is delicious.   Also clothes rinse much cleaner and softer.  Don't be mislead by expensive systems.  Boo on Culligan who are a bunch of rip off artists with their fake chemical tests.  The chemicals the city puts in our water makes rings in the toilet and the dog water fountain.   I am sure it is quite safe to drink as we receive a yearly inspection test on the quality from the city but I can taste the difference.  I dont have the build up with my set up now. The system under sink I got off ebay and the house system was about 900.00 installed.   If anyone wants to know how to get stubborn stains out of their toilet   let me know and I will do a new thread.

We soften none!
I am with you on natural water!

For garden I also use the raw water. It should be better for plants with the minerals in it. I buy bottled water only if I absolutely have to. On short trips I take water from home. I am old school, and can't quite get used to the idea of paying for water :-)

There is a very unappreciated reason why the pizza is so good in NY- it's the water.  I'm sure this contributes to plant growth/health as well.

We basically have the opposite water situation in San Diego : (

All for natural water also. Can't help noticing how rain effects growth. Everything seems to come alive after a nice shower so I collect rain on a couple of 55 gal barrels. I also collect the condensation from our ac units. Of course I don't have a farm and grow things purely as a hobby.

Good topic, good videos, a lot to think about there. It's something I've been interested in for some time. I think each of us need to do our own experiments, like the first video, to see what works for us.

I get my water from roof catchment. I have a very expensive dry hole in the yard. It's a long way to county water hook up, so it would be even more expensive to go that route, especially with the filters I'd insist on to get the chlorine and fluorine out. In Tenn. they put up signs along the road to warn you that their water is fluoridated. I think they think they're bragging, but I don't drink the water there.

I haven't had the patience to do much testing on my water. What do you use for the tests? Sprouts to show what is healthy for plants, how about for animals?
