Does ozarka spring water has fluoride?
Yes it does. It comes from an municipal source AKA Tap water. It has been filtered to move TDS's but not using reverse osmosis leaving fluoride there. The TDS reading is around 25-30 which is much lower than most peoples tap water so its still better for you when it comes to TDS. The best drinking water and cheapest you can get is PRIMO water. Its TDS is around 5-10 and uses reverse osmosis in filtering removing fluoride. They have refill stations at Wal-Mart and cost 37 cents per gallon.
I have to run the water in the kitchen for long time to get it hot but the bath water gets hot fast its further away from the hot water tank than the kitchen?
The volume of water that comes out of the tub faucet is much greater than the volume of water that comes out of the kitchen faucet. Let's say that the bathroom is twice as far from the water heater than the kitchen, so twice as much water has to be run to get the hot water. If the tub faucet allows more than twice as much water to pass through, then it will get there faster.
When I turn off my kitchen faucet the water does not immediately stop. It drizzles out for a few seconds and then stops. What is the problem?
There are many faucets that do this. There is water between the end of the faucet and the valve. You turn it off, and the water comes out of that area. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do about it.

Why does the hot water work but the cold is slow from the kitchen faucet?
It is probably due to a blockage somewhere in the coldwater pipe or faucet. The easiest to check is the faucet. Turn off the water supply valves. Then take apart the faucet and look for tiny pieces of material (usually metal) that might block the flow of water thru the portholes. If there is no blockage, then the next probable cause is blockage in the pipe. This can occur in copper pipes anywhere there is a soldered joint. The blockage comes from using too much solder so it builds up in the pipe. It is most likely the faucet. Even if you don't see blockage it could be there. You can usually replace the faucet "guts" without too much expense and its worth a try, before working on the water pipes.
You left your water running seven hours how many gallons did that waste?
To know for certain, you'd need to measure your water flow from your faucet at the rate it was turned on, but if its a newer faucet, then if you have pretty good water pressure (60 psi), the faucet will only flow at 2.2 gallons per minute. Thus if you had the faucet fully open for seven hours you may have wasted as much as 92 gallons.
How much water per day can be generated from a dripping faucet?
over 10 gallons PER DAY
Where is the main threaded ring located on a one handled faucet?
Depends on the faucet. The dome that the handle comes out of most likely comes apart where the curve meets the straight part of the faucet. On some, the whole piece comes off and the handle is held on with a nut under the dome. Most have a ring of ridges around the center piece to grip it. It will come apart where it is supposed to. If the faucet has leaked much the cap will most likely be corroded in place. It wouldn't hurt to spray the faucet with some lubricant such as WD-40 or other penetrating lubricant the day before you try to take it apart.
