Re: [GSAS-Member] Spring Water Weirdness???
City water can certainly change. I don't know how Seattle does it, but most
municipalities buy water from cooperatives who get it from suppliers, etc.
How do you condition your water before water changes? Sometimes, cities will
increase the amount of chloramine in response to changes in weather (warmer
weather->more bacteria->raise the chloramine level), etc. This is why some
people use RO/DI to get rid of 'everything' and make up their own water,
especially in sensitive systems like reefs.
