Have you noticed that your clothes or dishes have become harder to scrub clean or that there’s more soap scum around your water fixtures like sinks and showers? These are all signs that you may have hard water in your pipes.

Hard water makes daily chores like doing the laundry or taking a shower more troublesome since soap becomes more difficult to wash out. How should you solve this inconvenience? The easiest way is to call your local water experts to have them test for hard water and provide a water softening service to your water system.

To learn more about how to treat hard water, give us a call at 301-953-2846 or contact us online today.

What Is Hard Water?

Hard water is water with high mineral content. This occurs when your water supply has additional amounts of calcium and magnesium carbonates. These minerals prevent soap from lathering properly and often leave a white residue behind. It is important to have this issue addressed by a professional because hard water can damage water heaters.

How to Treat Hard Water in Annapolis & Surrounding Areas

If you’re trying to treat hard water yourself, you can try taking the following steps as temporary hard water solutions:

  1. Place small fixtures that are covered in buildup into a bowl of hot vinegar to dissolve the calcium deposit.
  2. Reduce the temperature of the heater. Running too-hot water through your water heater can actually contribute to hard water stains and mineral buildup.
  3. To minimize hard water deposits on dishes and glassware, use a rinse aid in the dishwasher.

The solution we recommend, though, is calling our team of experienced professionals at 301-953-2846. We can install a water softener to fully fix the problem.

Solutions for Hard Water

One of the best hard water treatments is a water softener. In order to remove the calcium and magnesium minerals from your water supply, a water softener uses “resins” to attract these minerals. Periodically, the water softener uses a brine solution to clean out the water softener system (a process known as regeneration). During this phase, salt ions force the magnesium and calcium particles off the resin bed and they’re flushed out to drain.

Is Hard Water Bad for You?

The good news is that hard water is not bad for your health. It doesn’t have anything that could cause sickness in it, but having hard water does increase other issues in the home. If you do not use hard water treatment, you will notice that your pipes might need repairs more often because they are getting clogged with the minerals and things found in your hard water. Along with the pipe repairs, you might notice your lighter-colored clothing will start to get yellowish hues or your clothes will start to feel scratchy. One of the most notable differences might be that hard water leaves little marks all over dishes and glass, and some people might assume your dishes are unclean! While none of this is life-threatening, getting a hard water treatment is easy, affordable, and quick!
