Quint would say no. Brody hated it with a passion, yet lived surrounded by it. Hooper was a DHMO nerd.

I don't think it is good for you. Some people are close to 70% of that stuff, and look at how they act!

You might as well be arguing with a cat.

We had some delivered this afternoon in pellet form. Pretty useless I thought. No benefit to pelleted, you would have to keep it in cold storage and even then, probably stick together and make a useless blob. Otherwise if you don't have cold stored, look out, may as well put it in a bucket.

Re: Is DHMO considered safe to use?
The reality is, much like that Seinfeld episode, my present shower head stinks. My previous one had POWER, but a cheap plastic waterline housing that gave out after but a few glorious shower years. So, I went shopping for shower heads at Home Depot. I had no idea of the sheer number of varieties available. Some had about 2 dozen settings on them. I only want one, FULL FRONTAL ASSAULT. No employee could help with my request (I didn't word it that way, to them). I had a choice between one that looked very good, but had a cheap plastic waterline housing, and another one that looked OK and had a stainless steel waterline housing. OK = stinks.
After a long day in the garden, I am dirty and sore. I want a shower to pummel my muscles like a good masseuse. In all seriousness, the next time I go looking for a shower head, I'm going online to see if any people rate their shower head anything like that Commando 450.
The only other option is to hook up a pressure washer in the shower. The Predator 3100 looks good.
(And, I'm joking about the Predator 3100. I don't want anyone to think I would attempt that. It would likely exfoliate down to the bone.)

I wonder if some nitrogen hitches a ride to the ground, like with snow?Bower wrote: ↑Fri Apr 01, 2022 6:53 pm We had some delivered this afternoon in pellet form. Pretty useless I thought.

Re: Is DHMO considered safe to use?
Probably. Another thing about snow is the release as it melts of a small amount of 03. Ozone. You can smell it. I believe it helps stubborn 'stratified' seeds to germinate. Pelleted is probably just as good - it's just not as common here, so rarely collected for the purpose, as I have done with snow.Tormato wrote: ↑Sat Apr 02, 2022 11:57 amI wonder if some nitrogen hitches a ride to the ground, like with snow?Bower wrote: ↑Fri Apr 01, 2022 6:53 pm We had some delivered this afternoon in pellet form.

Re: Is DHMO considered safe to use?
I remember those shower heads but by law all new ones have a restrictor in them to save water. The fact that it is now impossible to get a wake you shower is not considered an issue by the powers that be. SOME shower heads have an easy to remove washer as the restrictor... others it is more complicated. A contractor or store can't remove them but nothing says we can't...

Re: Is DHMO considered safe to use?
Have you seen the latest? It's called "fursno".
The delivery crew lay it out and it looks like ordinary frozen DHMO, but then it develops a rug like texture.

First check the color. You don't want it crossing with yellow snow.
