Hey, don't boil the water and you can skip your calcium supplement!

Us females can use all the calcium we can get as we grow older!!

Default re: chlorine levels

This link explains what the possible source of contaminants might be in the San Antonio (SAWS) water along with the normal or expected levels. Water quality reports can also be found on this webpage.

San Antonio Water System: Water Quality

This website looks like it's trying to educate the consumer, not cause a panic in trying to prevent further growth in the greater San Antonio area.

There is flourine in the tap water, so that takes care of the teeth coloring issue.

" Chlorine is also acidic and higher levels of chlorine would mean a decrease in the PH level . " 11-25-2007, 08:54 PM
.
johnsonkk , how can you say that chlorine is acid ? It is one of the inert elements , the halogens -- chlorine , fluorine , iodine , bromine , and astatine . It cannot be an acid or an alkali .
