Hi all,
We received a letter this week from our water supply Company. They were informing about "improving our water supply" and doing an "essential cleaning of water mains" in our area. This is not the first time and it is good of them to let us know. However, the period they stated is much longer than usual. I understood that it will be any day during this period which is nearly two weeks. It was easy previous times - this "risk" periods were no more than a week, so I just kept this in mind for water changes. Now, as it is nearly two weeks, I am a bit worried that they will do this flushing in our street exactly the day I decide to use some tap water for a water change. I read some time ago what chemicals they use but cannot remember now - and cannot find it again either! And the Company goes on in the letter that the water is safe to drink... but is it safe for water changes???
So, the question is: is it really O.K. to do the water changes or not? I dose EI in half of my tanks, so water changes are ideally something I don't want to miss...
