Hard Water

Hard water problems are caused by the presence of calcium and magnesium minerals in your water. When left untreated, these natural minerals become ‘sticky’ as they encounter stressors in your home, things like changes in temperature, pressure, or turbulence. The sticky mineral clumps will form hard water stains on countertops and shower walls, and can affect the way your soap lathers. While troublesome when you notice them, hard water problems are even worse in areas where you can’t see them. Hard water build-up will form on the inside of pipes, on the heating coil or element in your water heater, inside your showerheads and faucets, and in other areas that can’t be seen – or cleaned. These deposits will start to clog faucets, filters, and pipes. Water heaters and other water-using appliances will exhibit hard water problems such as a reduction in water flow, and will often require repair or replacement. Hard water scale build-up can also increase energy usage in appliances, and cause them to fail prematurely.
