\nHard water is water that contains high traces of hard mineral ions. The most common hard minerals include iron, calcium, and magnesium. But aside from hardness, there are several more contaminants found in hard water than just these three. These contaminants can alter the way your water looks, tastes, and feels. It is in your best interest to quickly identify a hard water problem and implement the proper strategies to correct the mineral imbalance.<\/p>\n

Signs of Hard Water:<\/h1>\n

✦ White Film on Surfaces or Dishes<\/font>
\n✦ Cloudy Glass<\/font>
\n✦ White Spots on Glass<\/font>
\n✦ Greasy, Dull Hair<\/font>
\n✦ Itchy, Dry Skin<\/font>
\n✦ Dingy\/Smelly Laundry<\/font>
\n✦ Stiff Laundry <\/font>

Effects of Hard Water<\/h1>\n

Hard water can also negatively affect your water-related appliances and systems, such as your water heater, boiler, washing machine, plumbing pipes, and more. The accumulation of sediment causes the internal workings of these systems to corrode overtime, leading to poor performance, safety issues, and costly repairs. For these reasons and more, it is vital to maintain a functioning water softener. Water softeners are the best method of removing hard mineral ions from a home\u2019s water. If you do not have one already, this is your answer to your hard water problem. Be sure to contact a licensed plumber for help with water softener advice, selection, installation, and service. <\/p>\n
