Thanks, I'm definitely going to look into the calcium level in our water supply. I've used a Brita filter attached to the tap for the last 12 years, but I'll check on how that kind of filter handles calcium too.

All this time I thought calcium was a good thing, and particularly good as your bones get older, but I guess the truth is that everything that makes you stronger also kills you eventually too. Or at least that's how it looks when I consider all the crap we've been told was good and then bad for us over the years.

Thanks again to everyone for the good wishes.

I think one of few places that has worse water than Fort Lauderdale is the Keys.

I've been having www.zephyrhillswater.com delivered for years. I refuse to drink anything that comes out of the faucet the color of piss and smells like swimming pool water.
