If you’re a Texas native, you likely know that most parts of the state are notorious for having hard water — especially in the Hill Country. Hard water can cause all sorts of unfortunate issues for the residents of towns like Blanco. Fortunately, however, Blanco AC, Electrical & Plumbing is here to help by providing all the information you need about hard water and offering solutions to free your home from the problems caused by hard water.

What Is Hard Water?

You’ve likely heard all about hard water, but it’s not exactly a self-explanatory term. Simply put, water hardness is a measure of the number of dissolved minerals – usually calcium and magnesium — in water. Hard water is water with a higher than normal amount of dissolved minerals in it. But how do you know if your water is hard?

It’s not difficult to detect hard water in your home. If your hands feel slimy after you wash them or your water glasses have gotten white film or residue on them over time, you have hard water. Maybe your sinks, toilets and appliances have become ridden with stains and buildup. This is hard water residue, or “scale,” due to the high mineral content of your water.

Common Hard Water Problems

While all water has minerals such as calcium and magnesium in it, too much of these minerals can have negative effects. Some of these include:

• Hard water stains on surfaces that often get wet (toilets, sinks, showers, tubs, dishes, etc.)
• Mineral buildup in pipes and appliances that blocks the flow of water
• Dry or irritated skin
• Residue buildup in hair
• Increased soap and detergent use (hard water makes lathering more difficult)

While a little residue on your glasses doesn’t seem like a big deal, buildup in your pipes and appliances can cause leaks, inefficient operation and even require early replacement. Dealing with the problems caused by hard water will cost you more time and money in the long run than tackling the source of the issue.

How Water Softeners Work

Water softeners are the preferred solution to hard water problems. All of the water you use in your home will first filter through this system, which uses sodium ions to capture minerals in your water and remove them, sending clean, “soft” water into your home for use. Whether you’re showering, doing laundry or cleaning the dishes, soft water will make the experience easier and prevent damage from hard water.
