Ozonation after filtration would work against parasites, ozonation alone would be no better than chlorination. I am puzzled as to why people insist on having expensive filtration and sterilization systems, requiring regular maintenance, when the simple act of boiling gets the same result or better. Perhaps there is some kind of social cachet attached to such equipment.

I guess COVID shots will become the same as annual flu shots. With the usual outbursts from anti-vaxxers. I am in the most vulnerable age cohort. I've had two Pfizer boosters. No side effects, and I have not grown two heads. It's quite noticeable in Australian hospitals, the first patient information asked for is their COVID vaccination status.

He does have one saving grace, he usually keeps his posts short.

If you are too lazy to learn, why should I be diligent in avoiding acronyms to placate you?

Irrespective of whether the water is chlorinated or not, it is better to boil it for drinking. Chlorine and chloramines are implicated in soft tissue cancer formation. When water has a high proportion of organics in it, correspondingly more chlorine is used to achieve a free chlorine residual. The act of boiling eliminates chlorine and chloramines via steam distillation. The soft tissue cancer link is difficult to prove, the excess incidence is buried in the statistical background noise. Port Augusta is a town in Australia, at the end of Murray River supply. The water is heavily chlorinated to suppress cases of meningitis. Three or four excess cancer deaths in a thousand is not as noticeable as a single case of meningitis; the water authorities are not going to be admitting the drinking water they supply is unsafe. The other problem with chlorination is it does not kill parasites such as giardia and cryptosporidia. Boiling does. Did you know about 95% of American towns and cities are actually drinking recycled pee? It's why I mostly drank beer and coffee on my visits there.

On The Other Hand. If I Recall Correctly ( IIRC ) In My Experience ( IME ) Your Mileage May Vary ( YMMV ) And one especially for you, DILLIGAS. or DILLIGAF.

Charcoal-based filters are intended to remove organic chemicals, such as pesticides and other harmful compounds. They do little to remove inorganic ions. Resin filters work by ion exchange, a field in which I was once a dab hand. Depending on what ion the resin is preloaded with, calcium and magnesium can be absorbed and exchanged with H+ or Na+. Anion exchange columns are usually exchanging OH-. Water softeners exchange sodium ions for calcium and magnesium. Vinegar in supermarkets ranges from 5-20% concentration. The pH of 10% vinegar is 2.5, so it is a fairly strong acid. 45% vinegar is most probably manufactured using azeotropic distillation.

I have a sore back for another reason.

Vinegar ( acetic acid ) is effective in cleaning insoluble calcium carbonate deposits, converting the calcium into soluble calcium acetate. It is ineffective in dissolving calcium sulphate deposits. Most calcium carbonate deposits are caused by the over-enthusiastic use of lime ( calcium oxide ) by water authorities, during the process of floc-clarification of turbid water. Another downside of said excessive use is rendering chlorine disinfection ineffective, as chlorine is most effective below pH 8. Which is why I always boil tap water if it is used for drinking. Mold is a biological growth, IME the best mold remover is a 5% copper sulphate solution in contact for 24 hours.

Still don't get it, maybe my musical tastes are too classical.

So it's impossible for you to see your wedding tackle from above?

I don't see it, although I do find people casting shadows at 180 degrees to each other illogical.

That's really subtle.

I've given up alcohol entirely, have very little coffee and ice-cream. OTOH, I have no intention of giving up golf and sex. IMO golf is better, less expensive and I can play for longer.

I wonder why you are comparing apples with marbles. Remind me - is State of Origin a game of thugs trying to play like gentlemen, or vice versa? AFAIK a prerequisite for the sport is a thick neck, reaching all the way past the ears.

A 5% increase isn't much.

Makes one wonder when Centrelink will move into this century with their systems. Snail mail is increasingly infrequent and unreliable.

Why was it not duplicated in your online inbox? As Robodebt has shown, Centrelink needs reforms.

Are you out there helping them?

Life is worth living when there is quality of life. When that is gone, it's time for a graceful exit.

Definitely not. No golf course to play, no scooter to cruise around, stuck with people I can't get away from, who at any time could become plague carriers. Afloat on a medium which could turn nasty overnight, and getting nastier in obedience to the laws of thermodynamics. Dependent on the competence of a crew who have been hired at the lowest possible wage. I'd sooner swallow razor blades.

The young are always disproportionately represented in vehicular accidents, ask any insurer.
