Do you ever think about...

I thought a gallon weighted a bit over 11 lbs?

I just weighed a gallon jug of water - it came to 8.5 - give or take for error and actual unknown weight of plastic jug.

LOL - I always thought it was 4lbs.

1 cup = 8 oz
2 cups = 1 pint
2 pints = 1 quart
4 quarts = 1 gallon

8 x 2 x 2 x 4 = 128

16 oz = 1 pound

Thus..... 128 oz/16 oz = 8lb

I think ya'll are on crack!!! Oh, nevermind that's me....LOL!!!

Ok - I feel like ass now.

velvett must have heavier water than the rest of us. most likely a result of her expensive taste. us cheapies drink that 8lb/gallon crap water

You underestimate my water cheapness.


Tap through brita filter - I just buy the Fiji water bottles because they're cool and reusable.

Deuterium and Heavy Water


The hydrogen atom usually consists of a nucleus of single proton and its electron. There is an form of hydrogen called deuterium which has a proton and a neutron in its nucleus. Deuterium exists naturally, however only in a very small amount. All around us, only 0.015% of hydrogen atoms are deuterium. As the proton and neutron are almost equal in weight, the deuterium atom weighs about twice as much as the hydrogen atom. One often refers to the deuterium nucleus as a deuteron.

Water molecules are composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O). If the hydrogen atoms of a water molecule are replaced by deuterium atoms, the result is heavy water (D2O).

An oxygen atom is about 16 times heavier than a hydrogen atom. So a water molecule is about 16+1+1=18 times heavier than a hydrogen atom, and a heavy water molecule is 16+2+2=20 times heavier than a hydrogen atom. In other words, heavy water is 20/18=1.11 times heavier than ordinary water.

salt water is closer to 8.5
regular is at 8

I don't buy water either, too much plasic to recycle plus the cost
