Hard Water 101
Pure water has only two components – hydrogen and oxygen. It’s three if you want to get technical. It has two molecules of hydrogen and one molecule of oxygen (H2O). You won’t notice any smell when water is pure, and it doesn’t have any coloring.
The problem is that it doesn’t stay pure for very long. Water has quite a journey from the source (say, a lake), to the water treatment facility, to your home. In your specific situation, it may be flowing from a lake or some other source to your private well. Whatever the route may be, your water accumulates certain substances during its trip. It gets these substances from the rocks and soil it encounters.
Two of the more common ones are calcium and magnesium – these are the two main reasons your home’s water is hard.
Why This is Important
There are a lot of annoying things that hard water can do. It can, for instance, make your dishes and glasses spotty when you take them out of the dishwasher. It can make your skin feel a little itchy after you take a shower and make your hair more brittle than it should be. If you have clothes that you typically lay flat or hang to dry, you might find that they’re a little stiffer than you might like.
But all of these are, for most people, nothing more than annoyances. They don’t like them, but they can live with those problems.
When they find out what other kinds of problems hard water can cause, that’s when they take action. The reason is that hard water can cost homeowners a lot of money.
How is this possible? Hard water will, over time, result in the accumulation of mineral deposits in your water lines. These include the lines that run to your refrigerator, washing machine, dishwasher, and water heater.
The more these deposits build up, the more difficult it is for those appliances to work correctly. They have to work overtime. Think about an air conditioner. If your filter is dirty, your AC will have to put forth more effort to keep you cool. That increases wear and tear and the chances that you’ll need a repair. The same principle applies to mineral deposits.
