Just regular tap water with that concentrated tap water conditioner...I dont have a fancy RO machine...

This is likely a major part of your problems. Tap water is not good and has alot of dissolved elements you don't want. Probably even more so in Alberta than here on the West Coast. Get an RO/DI machine or buy RO/DI water from a purified water supplier. You can probably find them in the yellow pages. Some grocery stores and Walmarts also have the Culligan RO machines that dispense purified water.
