From Ruth Strackbein, Something went awry in sending my last post.  I didn't get it finished. Later started again and that post wouldn't send. Will try again.  As with my previous post, I now have a working water distiller again.  However, have been encouraged to use softened water instead of hard water which I had used before the repair. The machine used to get covered inside, sides, bottom, and the black rodes that run through it, with hard material.  Would have to use vinegar in the machine periodically to clean the stuff out.  Now the hard material doesn't seem to accumulate, but the rods do have a whitish coating, especially the lower curved shorter rod.  The local man whose family sells these midi-stills, wondered if my water softener is working as it should.  I live alone and the machine regenerates every other day. At present it is regenerating during the day.  I just make sure I don't do laundry or bath when it is regenerating. My question is, how can I tell if my water is really ideally soft on a regular basis? How would the use of hard or soft water affect CS making?  Thanks. Ruth
