Do any of you have hard water? If you do, what do you do to fix the issue of it building up in pipes and drains?
With us, we have a water softener. What it basically is, is a timed pump that puts dissolved salt into the pipes of the house, making it so that the hard water doesn't ruin the pipes.
I laughed a little when I saw the title of this post, I was thinking, how can you have hard water? I'm fortunate where I stay, the water we have is pretty decent from the tap.
In London we have hard tap water. But, but in the north of England, a lot of the cities like Liverpool have softer water. When I was visiting Liverpool quite often, I began to get stomach aches every so often and I didn't realise at first why but I later came to the conclusion that it was the soft water that I drank with tea. My body just wasn't used to it.
We have hard water in London and there doesn't seem to have problems with the drains. I guess it is built to handle hard water since the whole city uses it.
