You have probably seen it: a chalky residue on the faucet or soap that will not lather to save you. Perhaps your dishes are spotted and dull right after you put them in the wash.
Those are telltale signs of hard water. At Aqua Gold Water Treatment, we are here to help Muncie homeowners make sense of their water and put an end to the issue. We have been providing water treatment services to families in this area for 15 years now, so if you want to discuss what can be done, pick up the phone at (765)-302-4397.
One question we get time and again is what the true distinction is between hard and soft water. Here is our take on it.
What Is Hard Water?
In short, it is water with a high concentration of dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium that it has picked up from the ground on its way to your house. You need not worry about drinking it, but hard water can be a nuisance in other ways. Many do not realize how much of an impact it has until they see the evidence.
Some of the more frequent complaints include:
- Crusty white deposits on fixtures and showerheads
- Streaks and spots on your glassware
- Soap and shampoo that just will not lather
- Laundry that comes out stiff and scratchy
- Skin and hair left dry and itchy in the shower
Then there is the matter of your appliances. Mineral scale inside a water heater or pipes forces them to labour more than they should, which can lead to costlier repairs and energy bills down the line.
Soft Water
With soft water, those excess minerals have been removed, usually by a softening system that replaces the calcium and magnesium. The result is water that is gentler on everything in your home. Those who make the change tend to notice it in no time:
- Dishes that are clean without the spots
- Softer hair and skin
- Detergent that does more with less
- Appliances that are running as they should with little to no scale
The Bottom Line
Put them side by side, and the difference is obvious. Hard water wears things down and leaves its mark; soft water is kinder to your body and your wallet.
Of course, every home is different. The mineral content in Muncie can vary from one property to the next, so testing is the only way to know for sure what you are up against.
