Advice needed on awc and additives

[illumnae]

No, I have never needed one; my plumber friend suggested I might need one before realizing how low my pressure-tank levels were. I have a typical pressure tank, containing an air bladder, to feed my domestic water; less pressure than any municipal water.

Not sure why either. Do you not use a garden hose outside with a pistol-grip nozzle on it? Does it blow up every time you release the trigger and shut it off? Something seems amiss.

That's a good point. I typically switch off the water when I'm not using the hose

That's the way we are supposed to do it...but many's the time that I pick up the hose to use it and find that it's been turned on, sometimes for days, the pressure contained only by the nozzle. In my case...with low pressure...not as big a deal. But, again, plenty of folks on higher-pressure city water do so all the time without incident.
