I am baffled! My pots look awful. </p> <p>If this is what is happening to pots, how is this water for drinking? I live in northwest Indiana. I have lived here for twenty years and this hasn't happened before. I had also boiled water from brita in these small pots first, and as it reduced. Seems tap and brita water are doing the same thing to the pot. I want to know what is causing this?</p>
