Because of troubles with taxing water, our apartment appliances don’t last all that long, our water contains extremely high levels of calcium, lime & rust, but it creates mineral deposits on everything it touches, however hard water reduces the reliability & efficiency of our washing machine, faucets, drains & pipes.
It corrodes the finishes on fixtures & stains our sinks, tubs, linens & clothing… Dry, frizzy hair & dry skin are direct results of taxing water.
One of our major problems is the operation of our water heater, but a hot water furnace is a daily necessity, but there was a time when water tanks were quite cheap, however when the water furnace became overrun with taxing water deposits & ruptured, replacing it wasn’t that massive of a deal, however my hubby would make a trip to a cabin improvement store, purchase a water tank for around a hundred dollars & have it installed within a couple of hours. A flooded basement was the greatest hassle, then now, even basic water heating units are several hundred dollars. My good friend and I can’t afford to buy a modern one every two years. We’ve tried water filtration systems with no success. We’ve tried being conscientious about water furnace repair with truly limited results. When my good friend and I install a modern water heater, the water from our faucets turns black within a few weeks. This is due to the anode rod, which is designed to attract mineral deposits. Our water is so exceptionally overrun with minerals, my good friend and I need to detach the anode rod. However, this voids the warranty. We’ve found that hiring a licensed plumber that warranties their upgrades is our best solution.
