[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 7606807, member: 51054"] that sounds a good idea to me, or you can buy an acidity regulator, looks like an oxygen cylinder filled with limestone chippings and a filter after, then you just disconnect it and put more chippings in every few months, used to do that when we had a spring supply (bore hole now and luckily that is quite hard). I used to wait till the sink went green from the tap, then pop more granules in the cylinder. I did find that the acid water used to corrode the copper pipes. I was told by a plumbing lecturer too, that houses built in the 70's had thin copper pipes (Rhodesia claiming UDI meant that copper exports stopped, so copper prices rose ,so pipes were made thinner!)
