Hi
If you live in an area where your kettle "furs"up then I would suggest it is a lot better than tap water. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

Hi
The only suggestion I would make about rain butt collected water is filter it, perhaps through a few layers of 'er indoors's discarded stockings/tights. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

Whenever possible I always used rain water in radiators. For the years 1990 to 2017 it became very easy as our only water supply was rain water collected off the house roof into tanks. Virtually no minerals in it. When living in an area of hard water via the mains, I would avoid putting it in the radiator unless no other option was available. _________________ Dane- roverdriver but not a Viking. |

The water from the dehumidifier goes into SWMBO's ironing machine. Our water here is very hard and we are for ever running white vinegar through coffee machines, the washer, the kettle and all. And it's about the cheapest household cleaner going! |

Hi lowdrag
Have you ever tried citric acid crystals?
I get them from a home brew shop only used a couple of teaspoons at a time.
I found them V effective and no taint to rinse out afterwards, _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

I have a 1000l plastic tank gathering the rainwater from my workshop roof. I always use it in the Jowett Radiator. It dramatically reduces lime buildup in the cylinders |
