So this has nothing to do with bikes. And no, I did not perform a search to see if this question had been answered previously!
I recently moved into a new flat, and the water from the kitchen tap hurts. Really. Regardless of the pressure or temperature of the water, it stings badly whenever it touches any kind of cut or scrape on my hands (like hangnails, etc). It feels almost like pouring alcohol on a cut, or maybe being jabbed with a needle.
The water from the other taps in my flat do not do this (and thank god the shower doesn't). Any idea what is causing this? Anyone else ever have this problem?
The water tastes fine and looks ok. Although now I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't drink it.
