Hard Water Problems & Effects

Hard water is caused by high levels of minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium, found in municipal water supplies. Over time, these minerals cause scale buildup, reducing the efficiency of your plumbing and appliances.

Signs You Have Hard Water:

• Scale buildup on faucets, showerheads, and appliances
• Dry skin and brittle hair after showering
• Soap scum and residue on dishes, sinks, and bathtubs
• Reduced water heater efficiency, leading to higher energy costs
• The shortened lifespan of appliances like dishwashers and washing machines
  

Benefits of a Water Softener

A water softener replaces hard minerals with sodium or potassium ions, preventing scale buildup and leaving your water feeling smooth and clean.

• Extends the life of your appliances and plumbing
• Improves soap lathering, making cleaning easier and more effective
• Prevents scale buildup, reducing maintenance costs
• Reduces dry skin and hair issues caused by hard water
• Saves money on energy bills by improving water heater efficiency
