I am confused by water. Not the water itself so much as all the machines and chemicals and brouhaha available to mess with it. We have a well and that works pretty well for us. We also have a filter on the incoming line because we once discovered that sometimes the water coming in from the well has some fine sediment in it. And that crap adds up.

We have hard water. We deal with that with a soft bristled toothbrush and vinegar when the crust develops on the fixtures because I don’t want a water softener. I’ve just heard too many questionable things about water softeners. And wany, I’m supposed to watch my salt intake, do I relaly need to be drinking homemade sea water just to keep my faucet sparkly a little longer?

The thing that gets me is this reverse osmosis stuff. I know I should have stayed awake more in science class. It has something to do with stuff leeching into other stuff or something
