Nobody likes hard water; it contains excess calcium, magnesium, and other minerals. As a result, hard water messes with your hair, dries your skin, and tastes bad. However, there are more serious issues that hard water causes, like plumbing damage.

Over 85% of water in the United States is hard water. Urban areas are particularly prone to hard water issues. Old, outdated infrastructure causes minerals to build up in water supplies. Hard water occurs when excess minerals contaminate a water supply. Magnesium and calcium ions charge water and make it hard. In particular, calcium makes hard water form soap scum on the skin.
The term “hard” refers to how hard water creates soap scum. Soapy residue makes dishes and silverware harder to clean. It can also affect clothes after washing, making them feel stiff. Hard water creates mineral deposits called scale. Scale accumulates in plumbing and on appliances. It is often corrosive and damaging over time.
Water-softening equipment offers homeowners many short-term and long-term benefits. They provide considerable gains for comparatively little cost. Imagine having cleaner clothes, better skin, and a lower bill!
Water softeners work well in any home. If you notice any of the above, consider contacting your local professionals.
