Is there a better way to heat up my geyser that uses borehole water? The area I live in has no reliable water unless you drill a borehole. Every three months I change out my copper elements in my geyser. I am just asking since it is a pain in the butt

    I have been drinking the water for at least 5 years, it is drinkable. But I looked at my neighbours lab results 3 years ago, water is potable, magnesium was just outside the recommended level, but the calcium was off the charts.

      so what corrodes your heater? i thought it might be acidic

      Water softener won’t remove acid (there are types that do, but these come with 2 different ion exchange resins and require regenerating with acid and base. this gives deionised water)
