Hard Water: More Than a Household Nuisance

You probably have heard that hard water is a nuisance around the home, causing a visible buildup of minerals on glasses, fixtures, and clothing. But did you know that having hard water in your home can create a buildup of soap that causes fixtures to wear more quickly and require the use of more cleaning products? 

Hard Water Damages Fixtures and Appliances

In addition to visible buildup on the outside of fixtures and tile, hard water causes buildup of minerals inside water supply pipes that can restrict flow.  Over time, water heaters, dishwashers and clothes washing machines can also suffer from scale deposits that shorten their life.

How Hard Water Makes Cleaning More Difficult

Hard water contains a high concentration of minerals, which chemically reacts with soap to create a layer of soap scum.  This layer of film can prevent cleaning products from properly and efficiently working.  As a result of hard water deposits, you need to use more soap to remove the buildup and keep surfaces clean.  Cleaning also requires more water to remove the buildup.

In addition, you have to regularly purchase the descaling and limescale removal products - which is an additional ongoign expense.

Consider investing in a water softener system to increase the longevity of your household plumbing and appliances, make cleaning easier and more eco-friendly and cut down your spending on soaps and descaling products. It is a simple change that can make a positive financial and environmental impact on your household.
