Thanked: 480In my business, water hardness (and ph) are important, so I pay attention to it.
Remember, municipal water supply still has to come from SOMEWHERE, and when the source changes, so will the city water.
You can actually ask the locality for water reports. Get one from last year, and get the current one, and see what may have changed. I have seen water change more than you might expect. Bottled water is always a crap shoot too. Is it bottled tap water? bottled spring water? distilled water? many many variables that do nothing to tell you its mineral content, ph, or other constituents.

Thanked: 10Yes, it's supposed to be. However, I think marketing terms like that are pretty loose. For example, most "natural spring" bottled waters are actually just municipal tap water. We've come a long way from when companies could claim anything they want on their products, but if a claim has never been litigated before, they can still get away with a lot of misleading labeling.

"Spring" water still has plenty of mineral content. "Drinking" water usually local supply with RO (Reverse Osmosis) treatment. Distilled is distilled, No way to reinterpret that.
The easy road is rarely rewarding.

Thanked: 3222You are welcome. Just glad you finally got something that works for you. Pretty under rated and put down that Arko is but it works well. Still puzzled about the MWF though.
