Fairfax water always tastes like shit.I've lived in the mountains all my life and have always had great water to work with. I moved to the city about 5 months ago and have been bringing in about 25 gallons of spring water a week. It's getting old. I got a pamphlet in the mail a few days ago basically claiming we have pretty good water. Tastes like shit if you ask me. Do you think I would have any issues using this if I bubbled it for a day or two before use? I get around 50 ppm on my tds which I believe is the 500 scale.

interesting, learned something new! i saw the 27ppb, and assumed it was insignificant. Thanks for providing reading material!https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/drinking/private/wells/disease/copper.html ok. As a nerd that's smoking pot right now. I wasn't sure but I believe you Live near active copper mining. And that presents unique well conditions.
So I would filter. And test. https://piscespets.com/products/api-copper-test-kit?variant=5770915020838
Come back to the mountains.I've been intending to look into RO but was hoping I could get away without it. Glad I checked. At least I don't feel but so stupid for hauling all this water every week now. Thanks for all the info!
I wish. Got tired of driving 3 hours a day. I would much rather be outside city limits but couldn't pass up the deal.Come back to the mountains.
Got to do what you got to do. I couldn’t do it. Enjoy down there.I wish. Got tired of driving 3 hours a day. I would much rather be outside city limits but couldn't pass up the deal.
Where did you see this?Ok did some checking. Your copper is like 85% of a lethal dose to plants. So reverse osmosis or charcoal that water.
My comprehension skills suck but what I've found to read about it does make it sound insignificant. If most plants already contain 10 to 20 ppm than water with 27 ppb doesn't seem like much at all.interesting, learned something new! i saw the 27ppb, and assumed it was insignificant.

I'm only 30 min from the parkway and I guess technically still in the mountains. I just hate looking out my door and seeing houses where trees are supposed to be.Got to do what you got to do. I couldn’t do it. Enjoy down there.
Oh sorry. I read it wrong. I was too high. I read the upper limit reading as your actual reading. My bad.Where did you see this?

I still appreciate your input. I suck at research. Any idea if the ro or carbon filter will make it taste better?Oh sorry. I read it wrong. I was too high. I read the upper limit reading as your actual reading. My bad.
