Hi all. I know this has been a regularly discussed topic on this forum in the past but I'm interested in bringing it up to date and seeing what bottled water everyone currently recommends in the UK. I'm using Waitrose Lockhills (composition below) but know it's on the harder...
I'm looking for some advice on water filtration as I have recently moved. My results are attached.
I was running pentair 7CLM+ and 7SO before. I don't know if I still need the softening cartridge. Ph seems a bit high and I'm not sure how to account for some of the other...
