Re: Sun's output has been increasing
ah yes there's the rub eh mr. Don? --
you're obviously the h20 doc around here so let me take advatage of that and ask you; I just yesterday got a small (10") cation resin bead filter, and a carbon block filter.. I am hoping to reduce the hardness of my well water so that I can use it in my espresso machine without scaling..
to tell you the truth, there is a slight improvement but it still has a slightly salty aftertaste.. I have improved the result a bit more by running the water very slowly; 4 minutes per gallon..
is this technology effective? is there some way to make it work better?
since I'm 100% solar, electrical purifiers are out of the question as are devices that waste more than half of the water going in, like osmosis units, since pumping the water up here takes a lot of electricity too, and can't be wasted..and I doubt the incresed solar output will take up the slack..(how's that for a thread tie-in ? )
thanks
