On the water though the old one would clean everything sweet as no matter what you used. Only replaced cause the float switch died and it was like 15 years old. Replaced 20 yo fridge, defrost element trips the breaker in like 6 months. New oven grill element litlerly exploded ans open circuited in a similar time frame. All purchased at same time.

And that's just in Cairns alone, wonder what the figure is Australia wide? He told me that I would be lucky to get 3 years out of my new one!!!
