I go though two 2 1/2 gallon containers per month, I use it for cooking and coffee. I refill mine at an island for 50 cents per gallon. when I have to buy new jugs then my water cost 1.00 per gallon.
now my dog also drinks the same water I do, so I have to buy her three 5 gallon jugs full every month. Refillable jugs.
my well watter is has 400 times the amount of sulfate allowed for consumption. to put it in to perspective, I can bring home a five gallon bucket full of watter and 5 dozen minnows. if I add one cup of my tap watter to the bucket, litteraly with in seconds the minnows start bellying up.
its not enough to condem my well, they say I can get a 1000 dollar filtration system to get rid of the sulfates...
to give ya a visualization, my watter closet bowl is perminantly stained black. the plastic in my shower is coated with a deap dark red rust. It kind of gives new meaning to squeeky clean,,,, OIL CAN! >>>> said the tin man....LOL
