Where I’m currently living the water is SO loaded with minerals which are not removed by Brita or anything that it’s just awful. EVERYTHING gets so clogged up and crusted over as to be rendered useless, coffee makers, stainless pet bowls, steamers, Brita filter pitcher,etc etc.
All the glassware and dark coloredd dishes have a hazy film over them, pots get ruined. It’s absolutely awful. There is only so much that vinegar can do to keep up. Every few days? Good grief ! !
I’ve never seen anything like it in any other place I’ve lived and I just refuse to ruin every single appliance I own. And what does all that gunk do to one’s body systems ?
Prior to living here, I NEVER used bottled water. I used a Brita or just plain evaporation to get rid of the horrid chlorine taste and that was it.
I hate the idea of bottled water but it’s a necessary evil. I try to recycle the bottles for multiple uses (milk, juice, coffee etc) as much as I can.
Buying a a whole house filter is not an option (even if I were willing to endure the huge amts. of salt dumped into my system) since I don’t own the house.
So, bottled water is a stopgap measure until I move. Ugh.
