What is hard water and what can I do to fix it?

0

“Hard water” describes water that contains calcium and magnesium, which are hardness minerals. Rainwater begins as soft water, free of these minerals. As rainwater passes over and through the earth, flowing into lakes, rivers, streams and ground water, it absorbs the hardness minerals. While these minerals aren’t harmful to your health, they do affect the properties of water and its effectiveness for washing and cleaning. Hard water can turn simple household tasks into hard work. Soaps and laundry detergents don’t lather as well. There are spots left on glasses and dishes and the life of clothing is shortened and dulled in color. You will see the evidence of hard water on the bathroom tub and fixtures plus the life of all appliances is directly affected. See: — What is hard water and what can I do to fix it.
