  • Does anyone think hard water is a cause for Seborrhea Dermatitis?

  • @jeadte More suds makes an HE washing machine stop working properly...my Kenmore will actually show a digital display (SUDS) and will stop working until the suds go away.

  • I live in Yorkshire and the water here is lovely, but when I travel to London the water is hard and it tastes foul to me, as I drink soft water every day. That's all the proof I need to see the difference.

  • This proves nothing. I am not saying that softened water does not clean better. I don't know whether it actually does or not. Simply creating a suds does not go far enough to prove anything. It would seem an explanation WHY suds = better, rather than they exist in this condition vs. that.

    I was just being pedantic. I was not really correcting you. Ice is, of course, harder than water.

  • @ALNEAL I was joking dude you don't need to correct me.

  • @DeadKevTheKnife

    Not clever! Ice is a solid. Water, by definition, whether hard or soft, is still a liquid. Hard water is caused by an excess of calcium and magnesium ions (both are divalent elements). Nice try, but works for some, it would appear.

    Typical what? You have evaluated my comment borne of experience by using one three-syllable word. How encouraging! Perhaps you prefer coffee with a greasy-looking slick floating on top. This is a sign of hard water. Those of us who can tell the difference know the difference.

  • @ALNEAL typical

  • @DeadKevTheKnife lol : !
