This Clean Water Initiative has accepted the opportunity to help provide clean drinking water for 11 applicants, that’s 28 residents. As this program expands, we couldn’t be happier with the results.

Water is both fundamental and essential in the quest to share and realise maximum potential.

Coming up we are doing some branding in the form of stickers. If you want to get involved please let us know.

We would love to find a better source of big glass or regular 19L plastic jugs, not PET 1 as well.

Thank you everyone, one question I want to address as well.

What happens after 6 months?

“After 6 months ideally I have established your understanding of the importance of quality drinking and cooking water. At which point you look to secure this water the same way I do, for yourself. By going to your local spring, or the other option is we create an exchange where I continue bringing you Elmvale quality water.”

Thank you everyone.

The Elmvale water was tested by one of our applicants and now contributor to the program, Marc from Cookstown. Beside each picture is a description of Marc’s findings.

Pic 1 is a test result for Free Chlorine in the water and it came back as 0 ppm which is perfect. Test was done by swirling a swab stick into the water for 30 seconds and matching the colour result to the colour code on the bottle. 

Pic 2 is a test result for Total Chloramines which is monochloramines and free chlorine and came back perfect again at 0 ppm. Test was done by swirling a swap stick for 15 seconds and waiting 30 seconds to then match the colour result to the colour codes on the bottle. 

Pics 3 is a test result for water hardness. The test came back positive for manganese (calcium was not tested but is assumed is in the water). The test was done by adding a reacting agent powder to the water which detects the manganese ions and turns the water pink to identify as water is hard.

Pics 4 is the results of testing how hard the water is in Grains per Gallons. The result is 10-11 drops of Titrant Solution was needed to turn the water soft (deep blue liquid). 1 drop equals to 1 Grain per Gallon therefore the water was 10-11 GPG hard. This is comparable to city water but it less than deep well water and is safe to drink and in fact healthy! I was surprised it was this low. I was thinking it would be around 20-30 GPG.  

So upon conclusion of these test, we have determined the water to be free of chlorine and hard without being to hard.

As an avid tea maker myself, I knew the water would be hard based on the calcification at the bottom of my kettle. So to confirm it is not overly hard is great assurance and reminds me of how thankful I am to have such exceptional water close to home. Let’s count our blessings and once again thank Marc from Cookstown for taking the time to test this water in house for us.

Cheers mate.

Sincerely

Joseph

Recently we picked up some extra jugs, and with some more caps on the way. We are becoming better equipped everyday to help the community.

Starting this month, if you want some medium sized jugs. We can acquire those and bring them to you, with or without the cleanest water in the world in them. All we ask in this scenario is one social post supporting this initiative, and what we are trying to do through bringing water clean water awareness to people.

As with our mission here, we just want to help encourage good water practices. Through respect for water treatment and utilisation.

Bless your water, bless yourself.

The fund currently has over $290 dollars, jugs and caps on reservation. Let’s get this where it needs to go.

Thank you,

sincerely

Joseph,

Founder of this Clean Water Initiative
