Think of it as a gentle suggestion to the calcium: “Hey, maybe chill out a little.” It won’t solve the problem for your whole house, but it’ll make your tea taste better and cut down on that weird film in your glass. It’s the friendly band-aid.
Low cost, low effort, low drama. Perfect for renters or people who like to keep things simple. Plus, you get to feel righteous about saving plastic bottles. Win-win-win.
