Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium. It’s safe to drink, but it’s tough on your plumbing and appliances.
Signs you have hard water
White, chalky build-up on taps and shower heads
Spots on glasses after the dishwasher
Soap that doesn’t lather well
A water heater that gets noisy over time
Why it matters
Mineral scale narrows pipes, clogs aerators and coats heating elements, making your water heater work harder and fail sooner.
Simple fixes
Descale fixtures with vinegar, flush your water heater once a year, and consider a water softener. We can test your water and recommend the right system for your home.
