>Phil and Dave,
If you wish to put a finer point on this water quality question, there are
several ways to do it. One is to do as someone suggested and get a swimming
pool test kit and test for hardness, which some do. I'll take a guess and
say that anything more that 15 grains per gallon is pushing it. From
practical standpoint, if the tap water in your house will give a good
lather when you shower, you are set. If it doesn't or if boiling water in a
pot leaves a white ring of lime around the top (like my untreated water at
home), better get some bottled water for your cooling system.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, Phil. This is the kind of information we need to know.
