What Is Hard Water?

Hard water is water that has a high pH level of above 8.5. This simply means that the water has a high concentration of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron, which can produce a bitter taste and acidic smell. While deemed relatively safe to drink, you probably would never want to. According to the WQA (Water Quality Association), hard water originally got its name because it’s hard to wash in. The compounds found within hard water prevent soap from lathering and can make properly washing hands and dishes impossible.

Idahoans have a particularly hard time with hard water – while anything above 120 PPM (parts per million) is considered to be hard water, the average Idahoan is dealing with 128 PPM.

Signs You Have Hard Water

Many people who have hard water don’t even know that they do. This is simply because of the lack of knowledge about what hard water is and how it may be affecting your home. The most common signs that you have hard water include:

• WEIRD SMELLING WATER: Water that is full of compounds such as calcium and magnesium is going to emit a weird smell. Although the strength of the smell depends on the pH level of the water, there’s no ignoring the fact that hard water has its own distinct smell.
• DRY SKIN: Hard water has profound effects on the skin as well. It is known to create dry skin irritations and can even agitate existing skin conditions such as eczema. Too, hard water can dry and brittle out hair over time.
• CLOGGED PIPES: Over time, the buildup of minerals can begin to negatively affect pipes and drains within your home. If you notice you are frequently battling clogs, hard water may be the culprit.
• STAINS ON FIXTURES: Another common indicator that you have hard water is if you notice stains on your fixtures such as toilets, sinks, and tubs. Hard water spots can make even the cleanest fixtures look dirty and can also create stains and residue on your dishes as well.

At the first sign of trouble, it’s imperative to work with an experienced plumber to fix the problem. At Magic Electric, Plumbing, Heating + Air, our whole house water softeners can quickly turn the tide on hard water and restore that quality you’ve become accustomed to.

Benefits of Installing a Whole Home Water Softener

No matter how safe it may be to drink, hard water is like an unwanted guest in your home, causing trouble and making a mess. The best relief from the horrors of hard water is a water softener system. Water softeners utilize a process called ion exchange (the exchange of ions between two electrolytes or between an electrolyte solution and a complex). The mineral deposits found in your hard water stick to resin beads and the remaining water, now softened, exits and slows throughout your home.

The benefits of these systems include:

• SOFTER SKIN & HAIR: As we stated above, hard water has seriously negative effects on most skin and hair. With soft water, you no longer need to worry about drying out your skin simply by taking a shower.
• CLEANER LAUNDRY: Hard water not only has an effect on our skin and hair, but it can also leave our laundry less vibrant and soft.
• SAVE MONEY ON SOAP: Since hard water makes it harder for soap to lather, you may find yourself using way more of it than you would if you didn’t have hard water.
• REDUCE BUILDUP: The mineral deposits from hard water can create buildup within your pipes, drains, and faucets, which leads to cracks and leaks.
• LONGER LIFE FOR FIXTURES & APPLIANCES: Hard water can expedite the aging process of appliances and fixtures in your home, such as your water heater and toilets.
