Signs You May Have Hard Water

Published July 9, 2018 by Katie 3 Comments

What is hard water? 

Hard water has a high mineral content. Hard water is a natural result of minerals like calcium and magnesium accumulating during the water cycle.  Hard water can happen to well water and even city water. When calcium and magnesium are dissolved in the water, the harder the water becomes.

    glani,

    Thank you for reaching out to us. I reached out to our Water Filtration Expert and he has not used this item personally. He did a quick online search and found positive reviews for similar products. Some of the before and after images look promising. Please do share if you find this item to perform well.

    It got me when you said that although hard water is safe to drink and wash things with, it can lead to inconvenience and embarrassing problems in the future. I have to agree with this because the yellowish look of the toilet really is embarrassing, especially if the visitors will see. They will probably think the worst! Because of this, I will see to it that I get a water softener as soon as I get the toilets and bathtubs replaced.
