Corporation Pop never hurt anyone
No, but Cornpop did. He was a bad dude. Maybe only the Americans will get the reference.Corporation Pop never hurt anyone
The idea that water without minerals will leach them from your body is a little farfetched since most of minerals are absorbed from the food we eat and not from the water.
Some of the best tasting water has high contiguitysome of the bottle water shocking high numbers and mineral less and distill water far less . distill water tastes nice .
I drink RO water for last 20 years with very little mineralization added and no negative side effects. The idea that water without minerals will leach them from your body is a little farfetched since most of minerals are absorbed from the food we eat and not from the water. My main reason for drinking RO water isn't chlorine but fluoride that can be very harmful, and before you say it is natural - it isn't. Sodium Fluoride is not natural (80x less toxic Calcium Fluoride is). Toxicity of Sodium Fluoride is about the same as Arsenic. I has very little effect on the teeth and as such abandoned in whole Europe. Teeth become static at about age of 12 and don't absorb Fluoride from the water. Program of adding Fluoride (non-medical grade) was sponsored by Alcoa - aluminum mills that had to pay a lot of money to get rid of this toxic byproduct (now they make money selling it). You can easily get rid of chlorine with simple carbon filter, but not from Fluoride. You need RO or deionizing columns or distilling water. As for harmful effects of removing Calccium or Magnesium from drinking water - every water softener does it by replacing Calcium and Magnesium Ions with Sodium Ions (ion exchange)

RO is not the same as distillation. Most home RO systems that operate at low pressures and single pass, do very little demineralization.

Last time I tested my blood mineral panel everything was fine with Calcium being a little bit too high. Home RO systems remove about 95-98% of Calcium and about 93% of Fluoride. This can be found on any supplied test data for the membranes at normal home water pressures (about 50psi) and my TDS test also confirms it. It is also important to know that RO filtration is also the best way to remove unhealthy components from the water:
Reverse Osmosis and Removal of Minerals from Drinking Water | IWA Publishing
Reverse Osmosis will generally remove salt, manganese, iron, flouride, lead, and calcium (Binnie et. al., 2002). Most mineral constituents of water are physically larger than water molecules and they are trapped by the semi-permeable membrane and removed from drinking water when filtered through...www.iwapublishing.com

Sounds suspiciously like a plot for the new Bond movie.
I checked my drill bit kit from Milwaukee and they're cobalt bits, but my kit only goes to 1/2". I didn't see a single 1" cobalt bit so maybe try the step bit Doodski mentioned(steep at $200+). What ever you use, use some high temp cutting oil, too.Thanks guys, I'm gonna look at my local tool hire place. The reason I asked was I've never drilled an SS sink before and, although it has a nice 10mm hole already, the last thing I wanted to do was:
a) bugger it completely.
b) have the bit grab, twist my arm and/or break the kitchen window with the drill as I'm thrown sideways...
c) have to buy a new sink.
I'm tempted to just put a black rubber flush bung in the hole and forget the soap dispenser thing- but I already bought it.

Don't you know that fluorine in the water increases the efficiency of the mind control rays?Ok. I'm just going to stop here. My crank alarm is sounding.
TDS reading of 003 which is way better than then 250
<50-250 ppm | Low: Lacking minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc. |
300-500 ppm | Ideal: This level is the sweet spot for TDS in drinking water. The water most likely contains minerals and does not taste flat. |
600-900 ppm | Not great: Consider a reverse osmosis system to filter TDS. |
1000-2000 ppm | Bad: It is not recommended to drink water at this TDS level. |
>2000 | Unacceptable: A TDS level above 2000 ppm is unsafe and household filters can not properly filter this level of contamination. |
If you somehow find a match head sized piece of fluoride & tell your local government about it, I believe that most likely you will be highly interrogated about it and they will have someone in a hazmat suit come pick it up. It is that hazardous.fluoride that can be very harmful, and before you say it is natural - it isn't. Sodium Fluoride is not natural (80x less toxic Calcium Fluoride is).
