What is healthy water supposed to smell like?
We sometimes go up to our mountain cabin in the summer, and I’ve noticed that the water smells different than the water at home. If it has an unfamiliar smell, could it be the natural state of the water, or is it possible that it is contaminated and not safe to drink? Is there a specific smell for healthy water?Asked 8 months ago

Why does tap water taste different in different homes?
Whenever I sleep over at my friends' houses, I can't help but notice how different their water tastes compared to my mom's. I don't understand why it would taste different because we live in the same area and our houses aren't too far apart. So why does tap water taste different in different homes?Asked 8 months ago

Can you change the taste of water?
I moved into a new home last week, and I'm incredibly frustrated—the water tastes really weird. I'm not sure if it's just an adjustment issue or if it's an actual issue with the water, but I'm so used to the water at my parents' house. I barely drink new water in my new house because I can't get used to the taste. Is it possible to change the taste of my water? Please help.Asked 8 months ago

Can you improve the purity of water by cooling it?
My dad likes to drink ice cold water straight from the fridge, he says it tastes better. This made me question if the water quality is improved when cooled in the fridge. I know other methods like boiling water are quite efficient as a method of purifying water, is it the same with cooling water before drinking it?Asked 8 months ago

Does heating water improve its quality?
My boyfriend refuses to drink tap water without boiling it first and waiting for it to cool before he drinks it. He would NEVER drink water straight from the tap, he says it improves the quality. I'm not sure about this heating method.Asked 8 months ago

Can you judge the quality of water by its smell?
Maybe I’m just picky, but the water at my mom's house seems to smell different than the water at my place. I’m most certain that water isn’t supposed to have an odor or have a weird taste, because that then must mean that there’s something wrong. I’m a bit concerned about the quality of the water my mom may be consuming. Is this a sign of impurity?Asked 8 months ago

How do they remove sediment from water?
Ever since I poured a glass of water and it lacked clarity, I've wanted to understand more about water filtration and purification. I have come to understand that it is possible that water naturally may have different particles of dirt and rust in it. In order to be sure that we are safe from possible disease, I want to know how our drinking water is freed from sediment. Thanks!Asked 8 months ago
