It's fine. I don't think people typically think "algae" when they see it. I just happen to have a biology degree.

Just as long as he doesn't come for the electrolytes. I'd hate for all the clean water to destroy the things that plants crave.

Is that to prevent any potential sparking and flames during wipes?

I get my mercury from albacore.

Nope, it really happened. The plant was in Sidcup - a little regarded part of South London - and was basically boiled tap water. Once this was found out, much merriment was had by the tabloids and broadsheets and it became a starting point for various ventures in sitcoms. It was literally a laughing stock. Then they were found to have carcinogenic additives in the water so it was all recalled and funnily enough, has never re-launched.

Put it like this - its a common urban tale that London tap water is really pure as its been through 6 sets of kidneys before it gets to you, and it's still purer than Dasani

Holy Moses, Dasani is still sold in the States. Atlanta municipal water I suppose. I drink hard water from an ancient well with rusty pipes, but filter it twice before drinking, and much prefer it to Ozarka-brand bottled water from Texas.

Sadly, they'll start simultaneously screaming about libs / minorities/ China / cartels adding fentanyl to the water to kill us all and how freaking dare the government deny you the God-given right to drink fentanyl in your coffee if you want. Tyranny either way!!!

I honestly don't know if Orlon contained PFAS. Probably only if it were treated with water-resistant stuff.
