I probably would have used something pedestrian like consumed.

I would have used the word "drank"

More like old dog - same old trick. Just a smart ass at heart I guess.

But I do truly appreciate new words. I don't know how that one escaped me for 53 years.

My sister in Virginia Trace has a whole-house water filter which was over $2K. Last night I drank a glass of water from her fawcet, and was very surprised by the metalic taste. This morning, I tried a glass of water in our home, again from the fawcet, where we use a PUR water filter connected to the fawcet--no taste. I was surprised.

Has anyone tried giving them some distilled water to test? My wife uses that in her CPAP and I plan to let them test some of that when they comed by thas afternoon. I've already put some in a regular water bottle and put it in the refrigerator. Will let you know how bad the distilled water is.

Maybe they were just mixing up some of that Kool-Aid we keep hearing about...

We bought in St Charles about 18 months ago.....luckly we only had one softner comp0any contact us....we listened to their offer and like yours....they made it sound like we would be dead in a year if we did not buy their system.....wife and i knew it was BS

however....now after thos 18 months, wife i telling me "the diswasher does not work as well as it di in NY and i am using more detergent in the washer than in NY and the coffee tastes like crap".......sooooo.....

yes the water here is hard....but you may not need a 4-6,000 dollar system to solve the problem.

for now...we got a BRITA system for our coffee water and over time...will explore a water softner system on our own.

A good water softner and a filter on your refrigerator
water supply should solve the problem of the lousy water .
