These were from water we just boiled

    I’m from Singapore, and fortunately the tap water is clean enough that I basically drink straight from the tap.

    Damn that’s an experiment I’ll be trying for my stay here! Pretty cool to learn about these stuff

      Hard water is still safe to drink.

      The issue is it leaves residue in pipes, on faucets, and the biggest issue is inside hot water heaters because it hurts efficiency.

      If you’re renting you’ve got zero to worry about.

      If you want to get rid of accumulation on dishes/faucets just wipe it down with vinegar and that breaks it down

        Very good to know! Just trying to avoid potential stomach upsets while overseas. I’ll be gone in a week or so, so not concerned about the other stuff :P
