| Water Conditioners??
I'm starting this thread as a spin-off of the one on "Cleaning Products." We moved into a 10 year old house about 18 months ago. This is our first experience w/ well water. Almost all the water fixtures (faucets, shower heads, etc.) had a build up of whitish/greenish mineral deposits, and the finish on some of the fixtures (the gold ones, which I hate anyway) is all spotted/pitted/rubbed off. At this very moment I'm doing the "soaking in warm vinegar" trick on the shower head in the master bath, since the deposits are interfering w/ the water flow. Anyway, I was all set to start tracking down a water conditioning system, but a repair person we had in to fix the furnace said the salt used in the systems will "eat up" our clothes.
Anyone have any experience w/ these systems? Is what the repair guy said about the salt true? Thanks in advance. |
