Taste of water

Poured water can be used, for example, for watering flowers Limescale deposited in the kettle are valuable minerals Tap water has minerals, including bioelements such as calcium and magnesium. Boiling or filtering the water causes the precipitation of some minerals in the form of sediment (scale) - especially calcium and magnesium compounds - which softens the water, but also causes the depletion of the mineral composition of the water. For this reason, boiling water is not recommended for direct consumption.

Saving money
