Hard water isn’t a crisis, but it is a nuisance. The right filter can turn your water from “ugh” to “ahhh.” Start with a test strip (they’re cheap on Amazon) to see how hard your water actually is. Then choose your weapon. RO, softener, or countertop—something is better than nothing.
And hey, if all else fails, just embrace the scale. Call it art. Your kettle can be a modern sculpture. You do you. But if you want glasses that sparkle and a shower that doesn’t leave you feeling like a dried prune, get one of these filters. Your future self—and your coffee maker—will high-five you.
