What is Hard Water?

We use water in our homes and commercial properties for various reasons. It is used to clean our dishes, bathe, do the laundry, water the garden, and hydrate our furry friends. The quality of our water is important as it directly impacts the health of our family and our health. Poor quality water that is full of contaminants can cause many negative health concerns and lead to damage to your plumbing systems too. Hard water is water that has high mineral content. It may have high levels of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and sulfates.

 You may not know exactly what is considered a high level of minerals because they are always present in your tap water, and you cannot tell by just looking at the water. The only way to know if you have hard water is through a water test. The test will reveal what contaminants are present in your water and their corresponding levels. It will also tell you if these levels are low, moderate, or high. If it is revealed that you have high mineral levels or other contaminants, you may want to invest in a hard water filtration system to reduce the contaminants in your water.
