Hard Water – The Basics
When water has an excessively high concentration of minerals – namely calcium and magnesium – it’s considered “hard.” That doesn’t mean it’s unhealthy, however. Water turns hard as it flows under and around rocks on its way into your home, picking up minerals along its journey. You can safely drink it and use it to take a shower or a bath.
If you notice any of the following, your home very likely has hard water.
- You notice a buildup of minerals on your fixtures, such as your showerheads and faucets.
- Your dishes and glasses have white spots on them after washing.
- You notice a heavy buildup of soap scum in your bathtub.
- You have dry skin that itches, or your hair is brittle. This is especially true during the wintertime.
Many people consider hard water an annoyance, one they can live with. What they don’t realize, however, is just how much of a problem hard water can be for many of the appliances in your home.
As the years go by, more and more mineral buildup will occur. This can gradually clog water lines and make it much more difficult for your dishwasher and washing machine to do their jobs. When they have to work too hard, a breakdown is more likely – one that will be extremely expensive to fix. Mineral buildup can also cause those appliances to use more energy than they should, causing your monthly bill to jump.
Hard water can also reduce the efficiency of your plumbing, disrupting your water pressure and increasing the chances that your pipes will develop leaks. If you’ve ever had a burst pipe in your home, you don’t need us to tell you how much of a disaster that can be.
You don’t have to accept hard water as a way of life. You can do something about it by having Aquarius Water Conditioning experts install a state-of-the-art Kinetico water softener.

Soft Water 101
Soft water doesn’t feel softer than hard water. It’s called soft because it doesn’t have nearly as high a concentration of hard water minerals. There will still be a few minerals in soft water, but nowhere near as many.
The biggest reason to have a water softener in your home is that it will significantly reduce issues with hard water or eliminate them. It’s much easier on your appliances as well as your plumbing. Your dishes will be easier to clean, and your hair and skin will be softer and smoother.
