When my ice melts in my water it leaves a white powder at the bottom

EW. Doesn't happen with my water. Are you using straight TAP water? Could be some contaminants.

it's shyte.

Calcium. Yuuum. Healthy. Drink up.

Probably minerals from the water ... or fluoride ... or whatever residue was left after they treated the waste-water and turned it back into "drinking water".

. .

It's calcium. The same thing Tums are made of. It wont hurt you.

Same thing happens in water fountains in public areas.

Harmless calcium chloride = chalk

It is not water soluble so it falls out of suspension.

If this is tap water I'd start thinking about filtering your water with a Berkey water filter.

agreed...otherwise yer kidneys are having to filter out whatever that stuff is...

I see physiology wasn't on your list at the registrars office.
Probably nothing was

time to get a Brita....

get a water filter, like a Brita or better yet, a Berkey- all water and ice should be filteres. Get new isce trays

Probably hard water residue.

britas dont do shit. get a reverse osmosis system or just buy distilled water.

Drinking solely distilled water is not good for you.

Why would you trust drinking water from a $10 filter? If your pineal gland is so important I would think you would go with one of the best filters money could buy.

Definitely minerals. My water is like that also, i only see the white stuff come of the ice cubes. Out of curiosity i had it tested because i freaked out. It turned out to be calcium, magnesium etc etc. I think the minerals are in suspension when you use regular water. But once the water is frozen i think it comes out of solution somehow. I have several filters inline before my refrigerator and they can't even filter it out. Your best bet would be reverse osmosis if you don't like how it looks when guests look into a clear glass of your water.

Pharmaceutical residue.

fa showly man thanks for the info

Calcium mostly and other minerals. Should be harmless unless you are prone to kidney stones. If you are then you might want to consider a water filter.

Buy this, or soemthing like it... 5 stage removes fluoride..

sodium fluoride (NaF),n a white, odorless powder used in 2% aqueous solution and applied topically to teeth as a caries-preventing agent; used as 33% NaF in kaolin and glycerin as a desensitizing agent for hypersensitive dentin. In drinking water, one part per million of NaF is used as a caries-prophylactic substance.

Worth emphasizing.

. .

I have the same thing - it's 'heavy water', full of minerals. It's hell on your teeth

My main question is, is thiss shit thats in the water normal>>?>?>?>?>?

. .

The only way you could get the answer to that question is take the residue to a lab and have it analyzed.

Anything other than that is just speculation.

Sorry ... but true. :(

Do you believe in unicorns too?

You can't filter it out.
