Fair enough.

Hasn't this kind of thing happened in the past? Is anyone actually surprised?

You are quite right. Check out this site for the horrific dangers of the main chemical in tap water.

Yes. And to water the lawn. Do you want to shower in dirty water full of fluoride?

Well, as long as you keep your mouth shut during the shower, I doubt if the fluoride will be absorbed via the skin.

I couldn't care less... If it's save to drink it, then it must be save to shower in it. And since when is fluoride dirty? Have you ever considered how much muck there is in rain? Or sea water?

If you don't soften the water, you will get calcium deposits in 2 days. Our town's water come from an underground river with lots of limestone deposits.

Second, the way you soften water is with salt. Lots of salt. Thats why you need a FILTER for, to get rid of all the nasties.

Go to your local chemist and take a big BIG sniff of fluoride. Report back here if you can.

Are you trying to say that the water you guys get comes straight out of the ground and is not purified at all?

Round here tap water is perfectly usable for drinking/bathing/watering the lawn. Filtering and softening the water for bathing would be considered very odd...
