Which means a leak would be "relatively clean" water getting all over the place.

Just doesn't sound like a good idea.

Also, are we talking using this water in chiller cooling towers, like most buildings use? So essentially heating that "relatively clean" liquid to about 100° or so (you know, a temp that microbes just love), and releasing it to the atmosphere.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
