What exactly is hard water?

0

Hard water is caused by high concentrations of dissolved minerals. Municipal and well water supplies contain excessive amounts of these minerals, specifically calcium and magnesium. Mixing soap with unconditioned water leaves a white residue on shower doors, tubs and sinks, making them difficult to clean. These minerals also create problems in plumbing, faucets, shower heads, water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, refrigerators, humidifiers, coffee makers, spas and and other water using appliances. Our water conditioning systems not only remove these hard water minerals from your home’s water supply, they also provide a potential savings on the purchase of soap and cleaning products, gas and electric consumption, plumbing and appliance repair and the replacement of washable items, such as towels, clothes and linens.

A. Hard water is defined as having more than 1 grain per gallon of dissolved minerals in it. Hard water is usually measured by parts per million (PPM) or grains per gallon (gpg).
