Title: Hard Water an issue?
Post by: lasasj on October 23, 2013, 05:43:43 AM

I'm installing a CB E-Classic 1450; looking into water testing etc.  I have very hard water with high alkalinity.  My house is heated with old radiators that I was considering feeding from the owb.  Will having hard water running through old radiators and returning to the owb cause problems?

Yes it's hard on the pumps I went thru 12 pumps in one year before they figured it out, central boiler makes a softener that attaches to a garden hose it's good for 500 gallons. Now I use rain water out of the sistern there's no minerals and it's already soft, I haven't had problems since  OMO
