If you notice white crust on your faucets, spots on your dishes, or soap that won't lather, you likely have hard water. The minerals that make water hard are harmless to drink but tough on your plumbing system over time.
What hard water does
- Leaves scale deposits that narrow pipes and reduce flow
- Shortens the lifespan of water heaters
- Clogs aerators, showerheads, and valves
- Reduces the efficiency of appliances
- Leaves spots and film on dishes and glass
Signs you have hard water
Crusty buildup around fixtures, frequent appliance repairs, dry skin and hair after showering, and excessive soap use are all classic indicators.
What you can do
A water softener is the most effective long-term solution. Regular descaling of fixtures and annual water heater flushing also help limit the damage in the meantime.
