Jenny,
Calcium may be more of a problem. I don't know how Manchester treats its
water, but calcium and chlorine can be added to water in the form of
calcium hypochlorite (try a Google search for water treatment calcium
hypochlorite). The water in Haweswater (if that is still the source) is
probably soft, but what comes out of the tap may not be.
David.
