As the Chief said, she has had plenty of opportunity to correct it

Pretty sure she did that in the interview. As I said, only those who listen will hear.

The woman is a nutter, devoid of science.  She talks about chlorine being a toxin in tap water and the need to install an inline filter to remove it.

The people of Havelock North might tend to disagree

It's off topic but of course chlorine is toxic. Whatever happened in Havelock North, the people of Rangiora, including the council resisted it to the bitter end. Been good for bottled water and house filtration sales though. And yes, I know you are an industrial chemist.

Honestly I can't believe you are giving this woman any credence at all.  So I guess you are referring to yourself.  Just bizarre the people who have yet to break out of the pandemic malaise and recognise all the good things that are happening rather than focussing on negativity.  I can only assume that all these old and pale types feel disenfranchised in the twilight of their racing careers.

Not at the levels in tap water 0.2 -5 ppm but usually 0.5 ppm.

Havelock North, campylobacter in the water, major public health issue.  At the time chlorination not deemed necessary as water came from an aquifer, which unfortunately became contaminated

Even though when used at the appropriate levels to make water safe to drink it is recommended by the WHO and the CDC?

Only to improve the taste AFTER it has done its work.  The irony of course is people don't change their filters often enough and risk disease the risk of which is magnified by cowboy installations of filtering equipiment.

One of the biggest 'green wash' cons ever.  Pure water in supposedly recyclable PET plastic bottles.

What?!  Are you saying my new laptop backpack is NOT made out of 20 recycled plastic drink bottles?

LOL the other crack up about drink bottles is people don't sterilise them between use.  Classic environment for breeding pathogens!  Miltons is a good solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and sodium chloride (NaCl) for sterilisation.  You can also use the sodium hypochlorite to clean your deck of mould but don't tell Becks Nairn.

Bit expensive, Janola or Generic label bleach is a lot cheaper.  Works well but unfortunately doesn't stop the moss/mould coming back.  As I've told Curious, a quat (Wet and Forget) works better and gives residual control.  Best way to clean a deck, is to waterblast then spray on the quat, keeps in clean for 6 months.

I think you will now that most plastic just goes straight to landfill, even though they say it is recyclable, another green wash

Well whatever they are doing must be working because Antartic Ice is increasing as is the Great Barrier coral.
