Subj: RE: [kl] mouthpiece discoloration

When we moved to our present home I once left my mouthpiece soaking in a =
cup
overnight, intending to scrub it out in the a.m. It certainly dulled =
the
finish but I didn't find out until later why. I knew I did not like our
water when we moved in and I'm the biggest water drinker in the house. =
We
had it tested and the PH was only 5.7. We promptly put in a water =
treatment
system and can now leave my mouthpiece soak if there is any built up =
dirt on
it with no problems. =20
