Have I Got Hard Water?
Some nutrients come in both hard and soft water varieties. The easiest way to tell what water you have is to look inside your kettle. If there is a build-up of limescale inside, then you live in a hard water area. Whilst if you live in a soft water area, soap and shampoo will lather up easier than when using hard water.
