Lol I know people with a well and they never even knew they had a well they never had to touch it and never thought about it was the funniest shit when their pump went out and were confused why they didn’t have water
Thanks for sharing - this is wicked. It’s strange that it has taken so long, but it’s very cool that we’re possibly seeing a return to wind power, and this looks WILD to boot.
That’s why you should have a gas water heater if you have hard water. Electric units get wrecked by scale, regardless of a water softener.
But it’s a greenhouse gases contributor - electric is better. Check that anode commented below.
Anodes protect against corrosion. They don’t do anything for hard water scale.
Looks like some types can help with hard water too

The active electronic ones may. I’ll admit I don’t know a lot about those.
Electric ain’t better if you have to replace it constantly. Think of the emissions to produce these parts.
Heat pump would be best
Probably still would get issues with hard water though. OP needs a softener.
Honestly, water this hard should be fixed at the water treatment facility that provides his water. This much after just a couple of months is insane.
OP could have a well.
I’d think a well owner would be a bit more informed about water purification.

You would think that…
I’ll quit using gas the day shipping vessels go back to being fucking wind powered

Came with the house. Changing it out would not be fun.

Those are two different skill sets, just because you think swapping a heating element is hard doesn’t mean everyone else does
I think you completely misunderstood their response.
Swapping a heating element is easy.
Running some pipe is also easy.
Whether the OP has gas running to the house is a whole other question
woosh
