Re: Brita Jug filtered water
Greg,
Brita filters remove some hardness - but by no means all (Brita do not recommend the water for steam irons for example)....
And in hard water areas (like Adelaide and here in Perth is probably the worst....) the ability to remove calcium is very short lived... expended well before the filter is exhausted in removing all the other nasties...
I always used Brita water in a SS kettle...(for making tea - not instant coffee :
) and within a week or two there was quite a build up of scale.... requiring the citric acid treatment to restore the shiny interior.
Since having the La Cimbali, all tea is now made from the hot water outlet - with softened water (ion exchange) - and the tea tastes much better than the boiled Brita filtered water ever did..... yep, dont mind the occasional cup of tea
