Purified water no freeze

[snyper316]

Ok so I kind of forgot about a water bottle that I had stuck in the freezer. Well 3 days of being in the freezer you would think it would freeze. Well it didn't!!!! its not even slushie its nice and cold but thats it. I usually buy the Spring water because that is what I grew up on I will not drink city water but will drink the crap out of spring water and well water. So Scientific people on this forum care to take a crack at to why my water is not freezing I thought all water froze at 32 degrees my freezer is a meere 20 degrees...... my big freezer gets as cold as 5 degrees....

You must have a warm spot inside your chamber.

Ok this is weird I opened the bottle and it turned to slush.....

Ok, I am starting to suspect you have some kind of alcohol in your water bottle.

[Air Ready Auto]

Some sciency thing about ice crystals needing an impurity in the water as the catalyst for forming. No impurity, no ice.

[snyper316]

So if water is truly purified I guess it don't freeze... I searched it and found a couple things. I never opened bottle to add the alcohol but I love throwing aftershock and jeigermeister in the freezer.... I just had to wonder what the hell I was fixing to drink and have been drinking thought maybe tainted bottled water...

Much like the videos where folks put a bottle of Corona in the freezer then just flick the side of the bottle with their finger nail and it turns to slush in front of your eyes.

That is neat.

Way COOL!!!

Here is you answer--it's the pressure!! http://van.physics.illinois.edu/qa/listing.php?id=1462

[slowrollwv]

So true. It is the pressure. I like to through a Pepsi in the freezer for about an hour and then open it. Instant slushy.:banana:

[Flyinfool]

yup it is the super cooled water thingy.

 

But then it is pure water that freezes at 32°F or 0°C. Well water and spring water are anything but pure.

 

If you want to know what pure water tastes like, get some distilled water and drink that, it is about as close to pure water as you can easily get without spending a lot of money.

 

You keep your freezers pretty warm, my freezer on the fridge is kept at 10°F and my big freezer is kept at -10°F

YES OF COURSE!!

Your "Mr. Freeze" you keep everything frozen & snow covered well one good thing comes from freezing .

[snyper316]

I still want my well/spring water maybe something wrong in my head but I think it taste better then any other water....

I don't like the taste of the minerals in bottled water, spring water, and tap water, so I drink distilled water.

Did you know that pure water does not conduct electricity?

Did you know that bottle water has now passed sales numbers of cola type drinks?

If someone had told me twenty years ago that I would be buying as much bottled water as I do, I would have told them they were crazy.

We take used water bottles and run them thru the dish washer and then use the filtered water(new filter) from the refrigerator and put some in the freezer. When we go somewhere, whether it was on the bike or the Miata, we try to have water with us as I feel we get more dehydrated in the wind.

Yeah I laugh when people today blow there stack when gas hits three dollars a gallon but won't blink an eye at spending $1.29 for a 16 Oz. bottle of water.

Something I come across from time to time in my trade are humidifiers that use a canister with electrodes in it. When voltage is applied to the water, it boils. When replacing canisters, from time to time I find that I have to drop an alka seltzer in to get the water to conduct electricity so that the thing will work.

My mom does not like water what so ever... So she gets the packets of drink mixes from the dollar stores, I love the great value sweet tea mix best of all it contains no sugars.. I am also one that loves fresh chilled cow milk... Ill drink it warm too. I strain the spring water from the springs thru coffee filter... And if I have a concern will boil it over camp fire then throw it in the spring along with anything else I want to get cold or stay cold. Now I'm starting to miss being in the country.....

I understand there's a bottled water company not a million miles from here

They bottle & sell the exact same water that comes out of the town taps! People buy it! :rotfl:and pay more for it than they pay for their gas! I'll never understand people!

 

I remember once many years ago we were hiking in the UK, a hot day, we came across a beautiful clear small stream flowing over an outcrop making a waterfall that was around 20 ft or so high, So we all drank, ate our sandwiches, filled our canteens.

After our stop we climbed the outcrop & found...... a rotting sheep carcass in the stream just above the waterfall! Guess it did us no harm, still here fifty years on!

Anything that tastes sweet has the same affect on the body as sugar. That means sugar replacement chemicals even though they have no calories still add major fat to the midriff. The body is tricked into thinking it has a lot of calories to handle so converts other food calories into fat for storage.

 

It's a lose - lose situation.

Interesting thread, and I already knew about the instant freeze thing.

Couple of comments though, one about bottled water. Caution with the extras you drink when you do this, the plastic tends to leak it's ingredients into the water, especially if it gets heated some.

 

The other is the freezer temp. We have to deal a lot with temperatures and frozen is very important to us. Freezing something will not entirely stop the spoiling process, it only slows it down, so in time, (a long time) spoilage does occur. The best temperature to prevent spoilage is 0 degress F or lower, but lower increases the potential of freezer burn, so actual drying in the freezer. So the best overall standard is 0 degrees. 20 degrees F will allow you food to continue to spoil, howbeit at a slow rate. As an added note, you can't always tell if the food is spoiled by it's smell, for some pathogens do not give off an odor, and those same pathogens could be the type to create a toxin that cannot be rendered harmless by cooking.

I have to respectfully take issue with this based on my personal observation. If I use sugar in my coffee, I will gain weight. If I use Splenda, I don't. Not a scientific study, but just my observation.

thought that sounded kinda high for my side by side, checked it out later and someone put a box on the top shelf right below the ice bin and it was holding the door open. just enuff not to make a seal but appear to be closed and allow the ice and water dispenser to operate.... its 4 degrees today, but over nite it goes into the negatives...

This is totally off topic but important enough for a quick response.

 

I hear you, calories in versus calories out is still the base criteria for weight gain/loss. However I think what I said is probably correct but the digestive process is very complicated and difficult to nail down on an individual basis as is the variations in food ingredients. Probably the best comparison I have found is to google soda versus diet soda although, they are both poison.

 

It is amazing how much junk is being sold as a healthy food option. In many cases consuming diet and low fat foods lead to an increase in daily calories so the harder you try the further you get behind.
