Calgary water is extremely hard, especially, if you live in the Glenmore Reservoir range, so a decent water softener is still needed to bring the hardness down to a normal range, but this is where the trade-offs begin, as too much salt in your water is not a good thing for cardio health, which means you have to leave a couple of faucets for drinking water on a by-pass, plus buying salt and softener cleansers every so often etc. |
Thanks for this. Water softener is on the fritz, not sure it's making a big difference these days, despite doing some maintenance on it. i may give this product a whirl.
