I'm not sure WHAT is in the water, but I KNOW I would rather not be enlightened!! I don't drink it unfiltered and neither do my "kids"!! I have seen what it does to the pipes, the hot water heater, the dishwasher, anything in its way!!! I guess I will do the vinegar thing on the tubes and get a replacement pump!! Thank goodness it is getting down to the low 60's at night!!! The electric company loves me.. 9 fans all running day and night... facing in towards the house - out away from the house ... down from the ceiling. Colorado used to be such a (literally) COOL place to live!!
Thanks, again, for all the help and suggestions.. and strange stories!! Darci
