In my limited, and decades old, experience, peer review was often an opportunity to take a somewhat severe view of the methods and discussion used by rival groups. Just this side of totally unfair. But this was in a field devoid of political interest where many questions were too open to have acquired dogmatic supporters.

I too am in East Anglia. We had a new bathroom put in two months ago and the new taps and shower screen are already alive with scale despite regular cleaning!

[Davey]

Apologies.

I am not 100% sure my experience will be useful for you but still. We have very hard water and we had a unit installed. We ended up using EcoPure Wate r Softener. So shop around, compare several units, this resource may be use ful for you

. I 've been using mine for 5 years and never had a problem with it.
