What is the water like, where you live? Are you happy with your local water supply? Have you ever even thought about it? Is your local water, Hard or soft?
Here in London. Our water is drawn from local rivers. Stored in reservoirs, dotted all over the London area. Treated with vast amounts of chemicals. And it is so hard. That you have to filter it, to make tea or coffee. If you don't use water softeners in your washing machine or dishwasher. The machine won't last 2 years. And yet. Here in the UK. We are reputed to have the purest water in Europe.
My daughter, who lives in Scotland, where the water comes straight off the mountains. She has an electric kettle which is about 6 years old. Yet the element still looks as if it is brand new, straight out of the box. Here in London. A brand new kettle will have 'bits' in it, from the moment it is first filled and used.
