HOW HARD WATER C AN HURT
YOUR PLUMBING AND HEATING
SYSTEM
• With constant use, the minerals in the water react with the pipe and
result in calcification. Calcification reduces the flow of water and waste.
For hot water heaters, the mineral reacts with the heating element
thereby reducing the lifespan of the heating system.
• Right about now, the question on your mind is, how can this menace be
stopped or reduced to the minimum at least? The answer to that is
through the use of softeners. Water softeners are a sure way of treating
the problem of hard water. By installing softeners, the excess minerals
found in hard water will be diluted and minimized. By adopting softeners,
you will no longer experience the unpleasant white stains noticed on
your dishes. Washing will be better and skin dryness will be eliminated
• It might be difficult for you to know if hard water is running in your
house especially if you moved to a new place. Consult a water treatment
expert to find out the kind of water in the house. The specialist will
conduct series of test ranging from pH levels, hardness and dissolution of
substances. Once a problem has been detected, they can proffer possible
solutions for you.
