Hard Water
- Hard Water is high in calcium and magnesium, and causes lime scale deposits in the water pipes, water heater and on fixtures. This scale can cause premature failure of water using appliances.
- Hard water also causes you to use excessive amounts of soaps, detergents, shampoos and other cleaning agents.
- Hard water is also hard on your skin and hair, causing excessive dryness, itching and rashes.
- We have several systems to soften the water and eliminate these problems in your home.
