Hard Water, Cold Nights: A Utah Fall Plumbing Playbook

Utah’s hard water and freeze-thaw make fall failures predictable. Do a 30-minute tune-up to prevent them.

There is little in life as satisfying as chemically descaling a kettle.

If they really wanted to improve shower head water pressure, they would work on improving water treatment plants.

I've been working at cleaning the calcium buildup of the tub all day. Limescale remover spray sat on here for hours in two passes. I scrubbed the bejeezus out of it several times. I rinsed it out and used a powdered cleanser for a while. Scrubbed the bejeezus out of that, too. Then I rinsed it all out thoroughly. Ended it with a vinegar and baking soda soak for more than an hour. Believe it or not, this is progress. This is the most limescale I've been able to remove in a few years.

I'm not sure how to get the rest. I obviously can't spend hours every day scrubbing this bathtub. It always looks filthy because of the scaling, even though I do clean it regularly.

Now I'm going to enjoy the fruits of my labour with a long soak. #limescale #HardWater #calcium #bathtub #cleaning #bath

Last week, I got an Ikea Vindriktning PM2.5 particle sensor, which I connected to HomeAssistant. I noticed a huge increase in PM2.5 this morning, after running an ultrasonic humidifier last night (a room away from the sensor). I had no idea those things put out show much white dust... but we have hard water here.

The water in Kitchener is ridiculously hard. I clean my bathtub, but you'd never know it by looking at it. I've tried all sorts of cleaners. This is what it looks like after an hour or so soaking in hot vinegar. Several hours later, I used CLR. When that was all rinsed away, I used a powder cleaner that bartenders swear by. My tub still looks repulsive. I have no idea what to do aside from throw out the whole tub and get a new one. Seems wasteful and expensive. My tub looks like the filthy bathtubs of The Sims only without the flies. And yes, I have a water softener. #cleaning #bathtub #LimeScale #Bathroom #HardWater

Having lived in a shared, rented flat in Berlin for a couple of years the "Don't forget to wipe the shower down" thing will be with me forever.

One of my German flatmates (from former East) was the wipe down, window open, not too long guy. The other guy from Bonn so wasn't.

The threat was that the landlord could sting you for a complete bathroom (or kitchen) refit if you let limescale build up.

That filter lives in the kitchen and we use it for coffee or drinking water. So that's really good that the pH is coming out as 7 there. But it's messing with my thinking of how to approach the problem. I want to have the fluorinated water, but if I filter it out I'm going to end up with no trace minerals.
Water softeners on the other hand may add citric acid? To bring back the pH to neutral? I don't know exactly how it works. It would be great to hear from someone who has fix their #hardwater
