Doesn't anyone like plain water?

I like plain water

Yup. I do. I do have a purifier for my water because I live in a town that is situated on old lead mines; the water can get pretty, well, orange is the nicest word. I don't buy water as a general rule. We just developed a taste for sparkling mineral water on a trip to Slovenia, so we buy it as a treat. But the gallons we dring every day come from the faucet.

Plain water is OK by me too, Andy.

The water in my spa is heated to around 140F, and it has way too much chlorine in it to be drinking it. Besides, being at the beach, there is almost always sand at the bottom.

Okay Caine.. I'm calling you on this one. I have a nice hottub in the sun room, and thought 140 sounded a little hot. Here's the URL and a part of the text... I think I keep my hottub around 106F so I can enjoy it for around 20 ~ 30 minutes.

Temperatures of water:
Water boils at 212°F (sea level), and simmers at 190°F.
Tepid Water - 85 to 105°F. The water is comparable to the temperature of the human body.
Warm Water - 115 to 120°F. The water is touchable but not hot.
Hot Water - 130 to 135°F. The water is too hot to touch without injury.
Poach - 160 to 180°F. The water is beginning to move, to shiver.
Simmer - 185 to 200°F. There is movement, and little bubbles appear in the water.
Slow boil - 205°F. There is more movement and noticeably larger bubbles.
Real boil - 212°F. The water is rolling, vigorously bubbling, and steaming.

So unless a typo is involved, you have yours set to between being injured, and being poached I assume you *are* human, right?

BTW, you might find the website name amusing.

Citrius Water we call it

Does anyone know any spa water (or things of the like) recipes?

Here is a nice one...

1 qt. cold water
1/2 cucumber, peeled and sliced (seeded or non-seeded "English" cucumber)
3 sliced lemon

Put ingredients in a pitcher and sitr.

I work in a day spa and we make our waters this way in a big 'ole jug:

ice + water + 3 sliced oranges + 2 sliced lemons + 1 whole cucumber sliced

*we don't peel the cucumbers and i don't know it that makes a difference in taste. enjoy!

my friend David had a hot tub we all admired and used frequently. Pretty ugly scum on the surface of the water the next day, though.
