=== Would You Drink Toilet Water? (05:12) ===

[00:00:00]  Drow conserves.
[00:00:07]  They're very real in the American Southwest.
[00:00:09]  And here in the state of Texas, many Texas cities and communities have less than 90 days of water in their reserve.
[00:00:15]  And that's not even counting the water gouging that would surely take place during some type of crisis.
[00:00:20]  Now there are reasonable water rationing measures in effect, such as using gray water.
[00:00:25]  Water from your sink or your bathtub that you store in a tank to water your grass at a later date.
[00:00:30]  And that sounds perfectly fine.
[00:00:31]  But there are more extreme measures not only being proposed, but also active in at least one Texas city.
[00:00:37]  So in the name of sustainability, would you drink water that was once in your toilet?
[00:00:43]  Can I ask you, what measures do you take to keep yourself hydrated?
[00:00:46]  What measures?
[00:00:49]  I drink a full glass of water every morning, a full glass of water before exercising, and a full glass of water before bed.
[00:00:55]  And water in between.
[00:00:56]  I stop at most of the water fountains on the trail.
[00:00:58]  Do you guys stop at the water fountains so you're drinking city water?
[00:01:01]  Yes.
[00:01:02]  And what type of water?
[00:01:03]  Do you drink city water or some other type?
[00:01:05]  Um, city water.
[00:01:06]  City water?
[00:01:07]  Uh huh.
[00:01:07]  Okay, did you know that the city of Austin is considering making toilet water drinking water?
[00:01:13]  That's disgusting.
[00:01:14]  It's disgusting?
[00:01:14]  That's disgusting.
[00:01:16]  Would you drink the toilet water?
[00:01:17]  No.
[00:01:18]  A city out in West Texas doing it.
[00:01:19]  I think it's Big Spring, Texas.
[00:01:21]  Yeah, yeah, I've heard of them doing it.
[00:01:22]  I thought they were crazy for it.
[00:01:23]  Do you let your dog drink out of the toilet?
[00:01:25]  No.
[00:01:26]  No?
[00:01:27]  Okay, would you drink out of the toilet?
[00:01:30]  What do you think?
[00:01:33]  We're all going to have to answer that question soon, I guess, right?
[00:01:37]  You've heard about this.
[00:01:38]  You drink a lot of water.
[00:01:39]  So, you know, you want to stay hydrated, you want to stay healthy, especially as it gets hotter here in the state of Texas.
[00:01:44]  So, drinking your water morning, noon, and night, would you drink the toilet water?
[00:01:47]  I would not.
[00:01:48]  Could it ever be clean enough for you to drink it?
[00:01:53]  They would have to prove that it's clean enough.
[00:01:55]  Would you consider drinking the water if you knew it was...no?
[00:01:58]  No, not if I knew toilet water was in it.
[00:02:01]  I'd want to hear more about it.
[00:02:03]  How clean is clean?
[00:02:05]  How clean would it have to be?
[00:02:08]  It would have to be as clean as the water we drink now, and some people think our tap water's not clean enough now.
[00:02:14]  It'd be fine if I knew it was okay to drink.
[00:02:18]  How clean is clean?
[00:02:19]  How clean would it have to be?
[00:02:20]  I don't know.
[00:02:23]  That's a good question.
[00:02:24]  Now this is a last ditch effort.
[00:02:25]  It's nothing that they so much want to do, but They're thinking that if the drought continues, it may get to the point where they have to drink the toilet water.
[00:02:32]  So, could the water ever be clean enough?
[00:02:36]  I don't... I don't think so.
[00:02:38]  Why do we need to resort to that?
[00:02:40]  Well, we have a water rationing.
[00:02:41]  In effect, you know, there's a drought going on and... I didn't know that.
[00:02:45]  Yeah.
[00:02:45]  So you're saying it can never get to the point where you'd want to drink toilet water?
[00:02:49]  It depends on the scientific process of what's used to purify it, you know?
[00:02:53]  And I'll also tell you that here in the city of Austin, they fluoridate the water.
[00:02:57]  And there have been Harvard studies about fluoride reducing people's IQs.
[00:03:01]  I think I'm pretty smart still.
[00:03:02]  Fluoride in the water and the mayor of Austin, you know, gives you the finger if you come in there and talk about it.
[00:03:07]  Oh, I try to talk to my family about it and they just think I'm crazy.
[00:03:10]  Harvard studies about fluoride reducing IQ levels.
[00:03:15]  Well, I guess that explains a lot.
[00:03:18]  Alright, thank you.
[00:03:18]  Enjoy your workout, miss.
[00:03:20]  Thanks, bye.
[00:03:21]  The city of Big Spring, Texas is already taking water from the toilet to the tap.
[00:03:26]  And through a multi-stage cleaning process, a representative for the Texas Water Development Board says it tastes just as good as any bottled water.
[00:03:34]  It tasted not unlike any other drinking water, whether it's from the tap here in the city of Austin or bottled of Ozarka water.
[00:03:43]  And yes, I'd recommend it.
[00:03:44]  I recommend any water supply that is readily available and reliable and safe.
[00:03:49]  So while the final decision concerning the toilet water may be a ways off, the city of Austin can improve health immediately by simply removing fluoride from the water.
[00:03:58]  You can find more reports at InfoWars.com.
[00:04:01]  Yeah, that may work for little creatures like my dog, but I'm not gonna eat.
[00:04:08]  Texas town, close to toilet to tap loop.
[00:04:12]  Is this our future water supply?
[00:04:15]  And they go on to say that Austin has been doing such a good job saving water that we're now going to get toilet water recycled.
[00:04:22]  And again, it's good to save water and not waste it.
[00:04:26]  But they just want you to not waste it to double, triple charge you.

[00:04:41]  All of your filtration in one system, portable, on-the-go.
[00:04:44]  No more do you have two or three filters to just reduce sodium fluoride.
[00:04:49]  You have a system that cuts out the sodium fluoride and up to 95% of hydrofluorosilicic acid.
[00:04:55]  Advanced manufacturing technology.
[00:04:56]  This technology combines silver impregnated white ceramic with new Aquamedics advanced media for removal of fluoride and other heavy metals all in one filter element.

=== Removing Chloramines & Ammonia (00:32) ===

[00:05:06]  It is the only one that does it and out of the gates we have it discounted at 10% off with promo code water.
[00:05:12]  This is the only system that in one unit helps reduce or remove pesticides, herbicides, chloramines, ammonia and chlorine.
[00:05:22]  Hydrofluorosilicic acid, the most common form of fluoride not covered by other fluoride filter brands, and sodium hexafluorosilicate.
