Hard Water
As water moves through soil and rock, it dissolves very small amounts of minerals and holds them in solution. Hard water contains dissolved calcium, magnesium and, in many cases, iron. Most homes have hard water, whether it is supplied by a private well or municipality. In many cases, homeowners don’t realize they have hard water or how much time, money and energy is spent fighting the effects; dry skin and hair, bathtub ring, spots on glass and silverware, dull, dingy clothing, poor performance of cleaners, detergents and shortened life expectancy of water-using appliances.
