Random water idea

So i was just brainstorming a bunch, and i just came up with a seemingly good idea. So you know how most of people's water that we get is fucked up right? That there is crap like fluoride, chlorine, and even many different prescription drugs. So I always thought there is no way around this (even though i have a decent water supply) but then it occured to me just now. If you don't live in a city you could put out buckets for rain water and then drink all the rain water!
Do people do this? Does it have all the minerals that is in drinking water? Is there any problem with this?
Thanks

 

You really haven't thought this through? - Processed water is constantly tested to make sure that there is minimum amounts of contaminants, yes - there may be some of those things in them - but in such a small quanity they cause no harm what so ever.

Pollution raises into the atmosphere, rain clouds form - sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur monoxide and MANY more pollutants get trapped within the water vapor and then rain upon the earth.

Ever heard of acid rain? Processed water is far safer and healthier than rain water.

 

How about getting well water? If you live in an old enough house, you would probably get water from a well. You can taste the difference.

 

Do people do this?

Lulz.

They have done it for thousands upon thousands of years.

 

Yeah I just thought of it randomly, didn't think it through enough i guess lol.

 

Yeah I would do that. Do I have to dig a huge hole or something? My friend has a well it's amazing.

They sure don't do it as much anymore i'll bet you.

 

Haha, no, I think it requires more than just digging a big hole.
I didn't read this, but whatever.

Tells you a simple way to build a well. My house already had one, but it has been around for a few hundred years.

 

Lol, yeah thanks for that link, seems like a bit of work mabey i will need some mexicans to help me with it

 

They do, people have rain water storage tanks all over the place.

 

Yea, it probably is work.
You might just want to wait for a well to appear.

 

Dang i guess i just lost a bet. What do i owe you?

 

you should just dose the water system

 

Huh? you mean let the mexicans do it without me? nahh I like working as long as theres a reason.

 

What? people can you plz make a little more sense? you confusing the crap outa me.

Edit ohh i get what you mean now. LOL dose it with LSD that would be somethin. I wonder how many times that's been done hah.
Oh and btw, i'm sorry for all the mexican talk, i was trying to be cool like bravesirruben, but who am i kidding i'm the most pathetic racist ever. I'm sorry mexicans you know i love you.

 

I use a water filter

 

Yeah so do I. You still get chlorine though.

 

A well would be great,,, provided theres no groundwater contamination, runoff from industrial plants upstream or farming areas can wreak havoc on ones water supply.

My 2 cents, get one of those Brita water filters you attach to the faucet, it filters out all that crap to 99.9% which is probably better than rain or well water in 99.9% of the cases on this planet. (Maybe more like 75%??)

 

Well water is wonderful water.
I used to live out in the country and we had welll water.
Drink it straight from the faucet.


I dont think rain water is a good idea.
Acid rain is a big concern...

 

Yeah well seems like the only way to go. I know rain water is pretty good where i live, theres not any huge factories around me.

 

But the pollution travels.
Thats how its also a big deal.

Thats also how we get a lot of our pollution from like china and stuff also.
