    yes, but that is in my furnace room as well, no signs of problems there. Perhaps i'll shut it down just be sure it isn;t a venting problem on way to roof.
    Anyone can grow Zoa's and LPS I have some in my sump.

    Could be, now is about the time of year animals will start nesting in the chimney to stay warm, and they usually build the nest before you need to turn on the furnace (furnace and water heater are vented separate in most newer homes, and some older ones with new water heaters), you may want to check the guard on top of the chimney to make sure nothing can get in.
    Does water always taste like salt and poo????

    death continues lost 2 more today, added an active carbon chamber to perhaps pull out what could be causing this. Also did a couple more gallon WC.

    WOW dude, have you done a complete water test, if there is ANYTHING you don't have a test for I would get a sample to an LFS that can do a one time test cheap and have it ALL done.
