I changed out both elements in my electrc water back in late August. Had to change the bottom one out again today.

      Depending on the state, some agencies will test drinking water samples for a small fee that is much less than $200. In Michigan, the department of health did it for me. This is likely hard water. And if it’s from a well, it should be tested every so often anyways.

        I’m presuming it’s well water because city water wouldn’t do that unless there was a major, widespread problem.

        $200 is for the full array of tests. VOCs, heavy metals, bacteria. Good to get the full testing done at least once.
