So today will be talking about what exactly is hard water. Hard water is made up of the minerals calcium and magnesium, the more of these minerals that are in the water, the harder the water is. Water acquires these minerals from soil and rock that is in groundwater. There is a lot of controversy on what exactly hard water does and I’m here to tell you the facts. If you have ever noticed soap scum on the tile of your shower or bathtub, that’s from hard water. If your clothes feel rough and appeared dingy that’s also from water being too hard. Hardness and water is also bad for your skin, hair, and even your house. The minerals calcium and magnesium end up forming lime scale that clogs your pipes and takes form in water heaters, coffee makers, dishwashers, and even washing machine. Pretty much every appliance in your house that is water-based.
If you want to get rid of this hard water then you will need a water softener or conditioner. Water softeners have the ability to remove most of the hardness that’s in the water, while conditioners might just remove some if not any. In the end you get what you pay for, water softeners always the best option but water conditioners can be cheaper. You can also buy filters that will remove chlorine and iron but will not make your water soft. Whatever option you take make sure to read reviews from wherever you are buying it from. Customers usually leave better advice on products then you would hear from the manufacture or local water softener man.
