It cannot remove bicarbonates which are the cause of hard water and it is bicarbonates that cause blockage of nozzles and pumps and lead to streaks of white on paintwork and windows. > I do. Quelle surprise. You once claimed to have worked with leading scientists. What as, a cost-effective substitute for a monkey? As to "Silk" and his ludcrous suggestion to drive 200 miles to fill up on "soft" water, words are insufficient to describe his stupidity.

If 2000 people offered, I'd consider it. If I were making �2.00 profit on every five litres sold and had 1000 customers I'd jump at the chance.

Although I have a > feeling some mineral water is hard water, depending on where it's from. Does hard water cause a problem to a cars windscreen washer reservoir or nozzles? I live in a soft water area and I fill up with nothing but tap water and sometimes I add some screenwash if I can be bothered/have some available. Adam |
