I am putting some serious wear on my father's kettle. It occurred to me that a better option might be to use water from our hot water cylinder. As I understand it, the cylinder is fed from mains water and heated by a central heating loop, it is also copper, and we are in a hard water area.
May years ago I was involved with drinking water analysis. I know that my shrimps and fish are likely to be intolerant to dissolved copper, but is this likely to be neutralised by Fluval water conditioner - or is this reversed back into free ions when the effect wears off? I also EI dose, there are now too many tanks for me to manage with a kettle. Is the hot water from this source safe? what are your experiences? Any opinions would be gratefully received.
