Hello Wesley, I have many very beautifull glazes. The water pipe to
my
studio is in iron pipe, 30-40 years old. Whenever there is a leak, and being
fixed, the water is red from rust. The water is brought from far away, so,
chlorine is added. Still beautiful glazes.
What worries me, that they will find a pure water spring just here. Will my
glazes be the same?
Just think, would you be able to distill a lot of water. I would
consider this variant, if there is like different kind of ball clay or talc.

Actually living in a dry country, it will be o.k. if they will find a
spring...

Ababi Sharon , hoping for better time.

Howdy,

I was wondering if anyone has data concerning the quality of glazes produced
using chlorinated tap water, water run through an RO filter, and distilled
water.

Thank you, Wes
