losfomot Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 I noticed that when I freeze a bottle of water and then thaw it out, it is filled with little floaties. Does anyone know what this is? The water is crystal clear before freezing. It is in a sealed, unopened, plastic bottle. I've tried different brands of water and the same thing happens.
Curix Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Arent they little bubbles around the minerals that are in that water?
insane_alien Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 its the minerals in the water. if you look at the label it will have a table telling you all the minerals in it. when you freeze it they come out of solution.
StringJunky Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) Put some of the previously unfrozen bottled water into a non plastic container and freeze it. Pour the thawed out water into a clear glass and look for the 'floaties'. If it has got 'floaties' in it then it is precipitated mineral solids, as Insane Alien suggests, but if it is clear then it's fragmented plastic from the bottle caused by the freezing process. Post back your findings won't you? Edited October 11, 2009 by StringJunky

iNow Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Well, to your credit, you're not the one who necromanced it.
StringJunky Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 99% of the time I'm looking at 'New Post's' or 'Today's Posts' so I more often than not assume the threads are current without date checking...Caleb's obviously trawled through past posts looking for something and not realized the date. It's interesting that. that subject has arisen twice, to my knowledge, so far.......vj4him in another recent thread thought it was plastic after using non-plastic containers with clear results.
Caleb Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I guess I need to check when it is posted next time. 1
