: fresh water creates about .433 psi per foot. : I'm sure this is not a uniqe problem. lots of areas have bad water. Chances are good somebody has devised a way to make it work. Unfortunately I don't know what it is :-) Thanks Dick. It helps to know pressure is .433 psi per foot. That informs me that I would need the water level 46 feet up. Thats unrealistic. So I have to consider other options. I'll probably go with a filter, but will check on Reverse Osmosis systems first. Thanks again. I had tried to find that statistic locally and came up dry. Jerry
