| Re: natural seawater Are you sure it is filtered???? I use to live in San Diego and every beach was polluted. It would be safe to say that the whole coastline from Mexico to LA is polluted. Especially the closer you get to Mexico. Human waste is dumped into their oceans and depending on the current may travel north. Plus the street drains are piped to the beach; at least in PB (Pacific Beach). IMHO I wouldn't recommend using natural sea water unless you are miles away from the shore. |

| Re: natural seawater I have heard of the water from scipps pier being used by aquarists and researchers alike with an unkind word. |
