You don't want to remove calcium salts from drinking water.

I prefer not to drink pure chalk.

You might want to remove the temporary hardness before it gets to the kettle and furs it up.

People pay good money for hard water in bottles. What do they think makes mineral water?

Very happy with the results - only snag is salt water in eyes under shower.

Huh? I never noticed it to be salt enough to taste, never mind sting the eyes. And we had really hard water.

It was only noticable on day 1.

The two salt blocks have lasted exactly three weeks.
