Ask your local water board for a list of the metals and contaminants left in your supply after treatment...you will probably never drink it raw again...  As for xtractions...its just cleaner and less chance of a 'reaction' from contaminants... Please do not PM tek related questions Reserve the right to change your mind at any given moment.

A lot of the teks are old... There really is one best of all solid way to do an STB, and it has not been written as a tek, which is a bummer. Look at the supposed yields from that tek also, they are pretty low compared to how much we are accustomed to yielding these days. Art Van D'lay wrote:Smoalk. It. And. See.

Well i haven't created anything revolutionary, but there is quite a bit of info and slight variations which make an STB that much more in depth and reliable. Maybe they should all be in one place? Hmmmm... maybe I should write it up. Art Van D'lay wrote:Smoalk. It. And. See.
