Calgary - hard water area ?
Hi all
We have just moved over and have spent a fortune on new electrical goods. From looking at the water in a glass it doesn't appear that Calgary is a particularly hard water area but I am no expert in this area.
We are in the south west if that make any difference.
If it is, is there anything that people do to lessen the impact on the lifespan of their heating elements and, if so, what is it ? I am thinking of the "Calgo" type of tablet that you may put in with the washing !!
Thanks for any replies
