Hard water

We had a very good friend in the 1980's who installed AC and heating for a major US corporation. He took pity on our on our little So Calif beach house that was sourcing it's water from artesian wells, another story entirely.

Our water was HARD, but admittedly, not as hard as here. He installed a magnet on the line feeding our house. It was a method not necessarily accepted, but one that ACCO had accepted as making their installations better.

After about 10 years, the plastic casing on the magnet started to break down and we actively saw a deterioration in our water and how it affected our lives.

It's something that we now, thanks to your heads up, are going to look into again. Thank You!!!
