Fill a glass gallon jug and see if it has sediment or organic materials. This will clog up a soaker from the inside. Steve Central TX, rural hill country west of IH35. Do have calcium etc from limestone in well water. Not really concerned about that since the soil is similar due to runoff from rain. I have a sediment filter, hydrogen gas filtration bottle (aerator), and a whole-house carbon filter running inline to the house. I saw one of those "what ifs" on an educational channel on TV. Evidently, the earth ODed on hydrogen sulfide gas sometime in the past. Killed pretty much everything land and sea. There's potential for that to happen again. The gas is bad ju-ju in concentrations. http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?cha...ID=00037A5 D- A938-150E-A93883414B7F0000 Thus, the soaker hose question about water with hydrogen sulfide gas. Picture in my mind about a soaker hose is like a holding tank, intermittently burping pure hydrogen sulfide gas in concentration. -- Billy Impeach Pelosi Bush & Cheney to the Hague http://electronicintifada.net/v2/article1248.shtml |
