It is most likely due to low hardness on the water they're in. The gH should be at least ten or more. It could also be due to low pH, it should be neutral or higher (7 -->).
You should buy some water tests to test your water's (I recommend JBL) gH and pH. And see if you need to add some gH +- powder or pH +- powder. If you search a bit on the topic online, you can find other ways of regulating the gH and pH which are probably cheaper. But this is the easiest way, I think.
