Ha.

Comment by Rex Follett on March 3, 2015 at 5:27pm: It was not a random suggestion as the subject matter pertains to water quality. A primary question that arises from the subject of water quality would be is it safe to drink therefore to reiterate, although "one" may not run the risk of getting e.coli from the water, plants or fish, if "one" was to consume the water it would be wise to filter it prior to drinking it. This pertains to the event that there is scarcity in water and resources to hydrate oneself. It would be in ones best interest to boil the water first or have it filtered through a process in which bacteria and other unwanted microbes are removed.

Comment by Averan on March 3, 2015 at 5:04pm: Dude, your comment was totally random yet directed at me. I understand and speak English perfectly like the native American that I am. I get it now, you're just making random suggestions. Cool.

Comment by Rex Follett on March 3, 2015 at 4:57pm: The water may not pose any real risk of E.coli however if you were to drink it you will want to use a separate filtration system to remove other things such as bacteria etc. from the water. I don't know what you are going to do I was simply stating that "if you are going to drink your aquaponic water" you should filter it. This is a study about water quality in a aquaponic system. Maybe I should have said "If one was to" but the American language commonly uses "You" when speaking about many. Strange concept to grasp if you are not familiar with English. I don't know what Country you are from or what primary language you speak but this is common practice in America speaking fluent English to refer to "you" as "anyone".

Comment by Averan on March 3, 2015 at 4:43pm: ??? Wth? What made you think I was going to drink it?

Comment by Rex Follett on March 3, 2015 at 4:35pm: Your right Averan however if you are going to drink your aquaponic water it would be very wise to add a Reverse Osmosis water filtration system to the drinking line you have running out. Because there is living bacteria in the water.

Comment by Averan on March 3, 2015 at 10:16am: Nice! To summarize, aquaponics does not pose any real risk of pathogenic e.coli infection people! So let's lay that argument to rest.
