<p> </p>
<p>If you do relocate to an area with overly-hard water, you're realistic option is to switch to bottled drinking water. In which case, your pitcher is still useful for your own drinking water... so its not a bad purchase in either case.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Reading OP again, are you buying a dispenser for your home pourover use? Sounds kinda like overkill... why not go with a kettle?</p>

<p>Get your water tested by a lab. Water hardness is obviously something to be concerned with, but pH is also very important. If your water has a high pH, even if it is incredibly soft, scale will form in your boiler.</p>

<p>Im building a pourover bar for my self, and for quests and such. Im sick of waiting for water to boil, even when I use hot water. Kettles dont hold a ton either, so i constatnly need to refill. Its not just for making my coffee in the morning, but for multiple cups a day for me and my family, and cupping.</p>
<p>It may be a tad more than I need, but its simply a fun project to nerd over. The zojirushi boiler is cheap and has excellent reviews, so I figure I might as well seeing as it would…</p>
