Fitted a filter about 10 years ago with a tap on the sink that does filtered or  mains.  It has been brilliant. Amazing that its purer than bottled water. I use a simple tester when we go to check the purity and change the filters approx. once every 2 years , 30 euros.  the tester is available from ----https://www.tinydeal.com/TDS-3-Handheld-Digital-LCD-Water-Quality-Tester-Pen-Temp-PPM-Filter-Water-Purity-Meter-p-158846.html?currency=GBP&ship_to=UK&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpa&utm_term=HHI-510586&utm_campaign=PLA-UK   well worth a few quid .

I have a guy comes round every couple of years to "service" our hot water boiler.
Ash will back me on this as he was there one year whilst it was being serviced.....the guy who does it always gets close on half a bucket of limescale and gunk out of the boiler......the sight of what comes out is enough to stop you drinking the water!!

No different to England - we have limescale here too, I wouldn't dream of buying bottled water in England.

We drink the 8 litre bottles each 1 will last a week cost 80 cents doesnt seem worth  getting a filter tap, as john stated the tap water does have a poor smell. I asked my spanish neighbour who has lived in the area for 40 years about tap water she adamantly said its no good and the family only drink bottled water.

Was going to comment about not drinking water as fish have unprotected sex in it, but on a serious note, the damage caused by the lime, chlorine, etc. to boilers, washing machines etc. does further the argument for a filter.  That said, we don't have one, & have been lucky to only have one boiler replacement in our years.
This thread has made me think now.

I think you need to look into the difference between a water filter and a water softener.

Tut tut victor, you're not drinking enough water you need to be quaffing 1 1/2 Litres of the stuff a day, and doesn't include the tonic in your Gin LoL

We use tap water for cooking.  The food tastes OK to me.

For tea, Jen uses the loose-leaf Yorkshire tea specially blended for hard water.

I always used tap water for coffee but eventually it blocked-up the machine.  I then had to boil white vinegar in it to clear the scale (get it in Mercadona).  I only use bottled water to make coffee nowadays.  It doesn't block the coffee machine.  The taste is the same as using tap water.

We also use tap water to dilute cordials such as Vimto - and also to make ice cubes.  There seems no difference in the taste.

I can confirm that the contents of Johns boiler was incredible

Although the enjoyment of listening  to the engineer talking about looking after your water was comedy genius

Hi euroland, sorry, his contact details are in the house in Spain, we are there in three weeks, I can let you know then.
He's a Dutch guy, he services quite a lot of boilers in GA, he spends one day a week working in GA.
He's called Patrick, with from memory the surname of Walden......other forum members may have his details, or those of someone else who services electric water heaters
