Spanish term

aguas de tipo caucico

Spanish to English Science Livestock / Animal Husbandry Swine antibiotics treatments
SPAIN: From a verbatim interview about antibiotics.
I suppose the adjective comes from "cauce" but how can I express it in English?
"Es un antibiótico que funciona bastante bien, barato, y lo tienes en agua, de muchas casas comerciales y sobre todo en solubles, que no es en polvo, que no tienes problemas en aguas de tipo caucico."
Proposed translations (English)
3 calcic-type waters / calcic waters / calcium-rich waters
4 flowing waters

Could it be "caustic water"? I searched for "caustic water"+antibiotics but couldn't find any interesting examples, so it's just a thought...

Good idea Could well be a typo- the text is riddled with inaccuracies, the transcribers appear to have no knowledge of the area, products or manufacturers and seem unable to spell certain words the same way twice. It's driving me up the wall! "cálcicos" or "calcáreas" are probably on the right track there, thanks a million! It's past 1 am and I've been at this since 9 am yesterday...(crap deadline to boot)
Rick Henry Sep 10, 2009:
It's probably a typo and should be tipo cálcico.

No sería 'agua calcáreas'? i.e. hard water?

It's a verbatim interview - maybe the speaker mixed up his/her terminology, or whoever did the transscription mis-heard it.
