a Ted Hancock snip followed by > my comments..
Can you give me more info on this topic Gene (or anyone)?

My well water tests close to the recommended limit for hardness – 494 CaCO3 mg/L. 

>Ted this was just a question I have always had on mixing up syrup here at my house. Our water is soft and contains a significant quantity of salt (not the table salt form).  In Texas the water can get to the point where it is should not be consumed by humans and I was just wondering if anyone had any thought on the matter. In a number of location like the Rio Grande Valley and West Texas (the location and not the town) everyone use RO water for drinking and cooking purposes.  Some water supplies actually do contain a measurable quantity of heavy metals which I would guess???? is not good for humans or bees?????

>Thank Randy O. for comments concerning water added to oxalic for dribbling.

Gene in Central Texas...
