You can do that for a while, but the water needs to be at the tagged edge of scale-forming. This cost the inside of the pipes with calcium and that encases the Lead and copper in fixtures. This is the same thing that happened in Flint, MI.

It is an optical characteristic of water and is a measurement of the amount of light that is scattered by material in the water when a light is shined through the water sample. The higher the intensity of scattered light, the higher the turbidity. Material that causes water to be turbid include clay, silt, very tiny inorganic and organic matter, algae, dissolved colored organic compounds, and plankton and other microscopic organisms”.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-46509572720801463122021-04-26T18:20:18.098-05:002021-04-26T18:20:18.098-05:003:43 and 4:04.
