I grew up with hard water.
- As a kid the hard water was the worst.
My mother constantly complained about cleaning. The water stained the tub, sink, and toilet. It made everything sort of rusty looking. She could never have anything white. The calcium and magnesium build up constantly was messing the aerators in the sink. So those always had to be removed and act like an open spigot. The shower head was always clogged and the drains had a lot of soap build up. Not only that, hard water stains your teeth, colors your hair, makes it frizzy, dries out your skin, and isn’t safe to drink. Need I say more? I told myself that I would never end up in a home with hard water. Well my dream house is down the street from my parents. I was hoping for town water but we just missed the cut off. So hard water it is. I am not going through the same things my mother is though. I called a local plumber to ask about water softener services. They have water filtration and water softeners that can be installed to fix these issues. They purify the water so that it is safe to clean, cook, and drink. The impurities are removed so there is no more build up of calcium. You get fresh, clean, and safe water instantly. The addition to my home was quite a bit of money and it needs regular updates due to fighting such hard water. I feel it is worth every penny though.
