  1. #Belgian residents: do not buy a hot water tank in #Brussels. They come with sacrificial anode rods that deplete in ~3—5 yrs. When you try to replace one, #Brico does not sell them. They sell the boilers but not the consumables (why is that legal?). You have to go to a professional builder’s supply shop & order one for ½ the cost of a whole new tank. #CrappyDesign #RightToRepair

  2. Why don’t American #dishwashers have water softeners? What happens when they get limescale build-up? Is it a #crappyDesign, or are they doing something clever to not need soft water? #askFedi
