Apparently the issue wasn't the pipes but cookware, especially when used with acidic ingredients. So say the researchers..... Did you see the prank where these guys plumbed up the guys house with beer, then they had a party. I am not religious but I would be shouting there is a god as the beer flows from taps |

I too, worked in a service station where we put "distilled water" in their batteries. There were some who would not have anything else but distilled water in their battery, so we did not tell them that the "distilled water" came out of the tap. Their batteries worked just fine. |

| 1416451 | 2016-02-28 18:14:00 | Now that one is bad. Drinking water from the tap is one thing, lying to customers and putting tap water in a battery is another. The impurities in tap water degrade the performance of batteries and shorten their life, there is a very good reason to use distilled water in them. Tap water will work, but it is not Ideal. Either way that's fraud, distilled water is not the same as tap water or drinking water (ever tried distilled water, it's horrible). Way back in post office days and the early years of Telecom they had their own distillers and water storage tanks for the large lead acid battery banks in some large exchanges, if tap water was fine they'd never have gone to the trouble and expense. Now of course they just use sealed gel cells. |

| 1416456 | 2016-02-29 05:58:00 | Most people buy bottled beer because it isn't piped to your taps like water is.It was cheaper in Vietnam to buy a bottle of beer than bottled water in restaurants. Mind you, this was the same restaurant that offered sparrows on the menu. :eek: |
