Water with Borax - Lessons Learned

Hello all,

There was a lot of discussion on Boron and how much to take. I just wanted to share what happened to my water with Borax.

I had used 1 liter filtered water in a glass jar with 1/8 teaspoon of Borax, about 10 days ago. I was not wise to leave the water on a window sill with moderate sunlight. Yesterday I was using that water and felt that it was sticky. Today I just poured all left over water on my hand and it was slimy. I saw organic matter floating in the water.

Lessons learned......

1. Don't make a lot of water and keep it outside. Especially on a window, what the h was I thinking? Lol.
2. Organic matter does not go away with good filters.
3. Organic matter grows fast in alkaline water.
4. Refrigerate the water right away after mixing with Borax.
5. Use the Borax mixed water right away, fresh as possible.
6. If the smell of water is funny (like a dead rat), discard it.
7. Use distilled water, best way to avoid any organic growth.

Hope no one was doing what I did.
