Sounds like you need to make the move to r/o or distilled water. I use nothing but r/o water myself. The only drawback is the need for a cal/mag substitute, but thats a minor deal.

Exactly. Sounds like you have some terrible water man. If you dont want to chase your tail around do as stated above.
