If water is hard, then you have to use more salt. Then you will have
a lot of salt coming through your filter. Our water is too hard for a
Brita. We use reverse osmosis because of that; and also because our
water is from a well.

We used to have a heavy water distiller, but alas stopped moving it
from place to place. I'm sorry now, because I'm thinking of buying a
new one, and DH doesn't want one when he can buy distilled water.
However, I find that even distilled water has some odor eminating from
bottles either from the plastic or a combination of plastic and
cholorine that they've used for some reason. Not too happy buying
distilled water, either, but I use it in my electric tea-pot.
