    How much black mold will stop you from getting old?

    That's like saying you got lung cancer from sitting in a car for 2 hours with a smoker 30 years ago. Cancer and brain tumors can be caused by everything, sometimes even your own genetics.

    I'll give water depot a call in the morning. I haven't picked up the carbon yet. The carbon is used to remove the chlorine that I inject in to the water stream to treat the iron I have in my water. Carbon will remove all the chlorine from the water.
