What is the difference between hard water and soft water?

Hard water contains minerals and metal ions. Water picks up impurities as it travels through rock and soil before it’s pumped up into the municipal water supply, and other well systems. The two major elements found in hard water are calcium and magnesium.

Soft water contains low concentrations of ions; i.e., calcium and magnesium.


What are the effects of hard water on your health and home?

EFFECTS ON HEALTH: In high doses over a large period of time, calcium and magnesium can have the following effects on the human body: Eczema skin condition, cardiovascular disease, and organ deterioration.

EFFECTS ON HOME: Calcium and magnesium also affect your home. Over time, hard water can damage your pipe and destroy the equity you’ve worked hard to build up resulting in the following: clogging of pipes leading to higher energy bills and pipe breaks, longevity of appliances are drastically reduced, and stains and scaling.
