Re: Hard Water in Cooling System

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

It is very important NOT to use tap water from areas with high mineral
content in a cooling system. I recently gave my little brother an AMC
(Michigan/Ohio lineage) with a radiator TOTALLY stopped up from
mineral deposits. Water pump in one of my Lincolns came stopped up
everywhere except impeller blades. These calcified deposits are rock
hard. No elixer can get rid of them. Your only choice is to replace
the affected components.
