Default Re: Got hard water?

Hey chili!

I could still do this now. There's one faucet that taps off at the well. Anybody know any cheep and easy testing services?

I was wishing that I'd taken a photo of our Corningware kettle before and after. That's the only visual thing that's very much obvious.

There is a brown-colored film on the inside of the cistern (it's a "clear" tank, not one of the black ones, and inside a building). I treat it with chlorine regularly. The only visible change could be that film disappearing so I had a friend look at it in it's "before" condition so that if there IS any change I'll at least have a witness. This friend is also experiencing the acidic water and has hard water too. We may be trying one of my magnets on his well supply line in a few months just to see if it makes any difference on the acidity (we don't expect it to). He's a bachelor and doesn't notice hard water spots, but you could spray his kitchen with the water used to clean a cement mixer and I don't think he'd notice.

These things are easily attached/removed with 4 screws so we'll try it for a few months anyway. If he likes it, he'll order a replacement for me. If not, we'll put it back in my system.
