The Definition of Hard Water 

Hard water is a term used to refer to water with an overabundance of natural minerals. Tap water contains minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which are healthy to drink but in too high of concentrations can wreak havoc on a home’s plumbing system. It gets its name from the hard and corrosive mineral deposits, called scale, that get left behind in its wake. 

Hard water can make it hard to get dishes and plumbing appliances clean, damage plumbing systems, wear out clothing faster, and cause dry hair and skin. The solution to hard water is to install a water softener system. This blog post explains how homeowners can tell if they have hard water and the benefits of installing a water softener.  

What Does a Water Softener Do? 

A water softener is a type of water filtration system installed to remove the excess minerals from the water. A water softener uses an ion exchange process to attract positively charged molecules of minerals and dispose of them. Water softeners are self-cleaning and automatically empty the excess minerals. 

Resin beads inside the ion exchange unit attract the molecules of minerals. Sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium are trapped by the resin beads and then washed away in a saltwater mixture. The result is clean, healthy water with no mineral deposits. 

Warning Signs of Hard Water

water Signs that a home has hard water include:

  • Spotted glasses after washing dishes 
  • The water heater has excessive mineral buildup 
  • The color of clothes fades quickly
  • Mineral deposits and stains on plumbing fixtures 
  • Dry skin and hair
  • Low water pressure 
  • Higher utility bills 

Look out for signs of hard water. Over time, hard water can damage the plumbing system, cause frequent repairs, and take years off the plumbing hardware's lifespan. As the mineral scale from hard water builds up in the pipes, it can narrow the passageway for the water and cause low water pressure. The inefficient performance of the plumbing system due to mineral buildup can also lead to a spike in utility bills. 

The most obvious sign of hard water is visible spots of mineral deposits and scale on plumbing appliances and dishes. Hard water can make it difficult to maintain a clean home because the mineral deposits make everything look dirty after washing.
