What Is Hard Water?

Hard water is an undesirable condition of water when it consists of harmful minerals like calcium or magnesium.

Hard water is water that contains high levels of dissolved minerals, specifically calcium and magnesium. These minerals are naturally occurring and are picked up by water as it moves through the ground and into aquifers or surface water sources. The presence of these minerals makes it difficult for soap and detergents to lather and form suds, which can result in soap scum buildup and decreased cleaning efficiency. Additionally, hard water can cause damage to plumbing and appliances over time, leaving mineral buildup in pipes and on heating elements.

Hard water is not harmful to drink, but it can affect the taste and odor of drinking water. Additionally, hard water can cause mineral buildup in hot water heaters, reducing their efficiency and shortening their lifespan. Hard water can also lead to dry skin, as soap does not lather as well, leaving a film of minerals on the skin. People who have hard water in their homes may also notice that their hair and clothes feel stiff and dull after washing. The use of a water softener can effectively remove the excess minerals and improve the quality of water.

In Virginia, the water conditions vary throughout the state. Northern Virginia has predominantly hard water due to the high levels of calcium and magnesium in the groundwater. On the other hand, southern and coastal Virginia have softer water as a result of the influence of the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay. Virginia also experiences varying levels of groundwater pollution from agriculture, mining, and industrial activities, which can pose risks to drinking water sources. The state takes proactive measures to monitor and regulate water quality through the Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring safe and clean drinking water for residents.

Hard Water Vs Soft Water

Haynes Plumbing Services recognizes the importance of eliminating the hardness of your water. Some reasons we recommend softening your water are:

Hard water generally has very high amounts of minerals like iron, calcium and magnesium. These minerals in the water are then deposited into the household appliances like kettles and disturb their functionality.

These mineral deposits also become stubborn deposits in pipelines and water heaters, causing them to be clogged. Once the pipelines become clogged, naturally, other issues like burst pipes or broken and/or damaged pipelines may cause you major problems in the future. Sometimes, even plumbing emergencies arise due to clogged pipelines. Contact Haynes Plumbing Services today to prevent major plumbing before they happen.

The minerals that cause hardness in water can also make it harder to lather with the water. Such as washing, laundry, bathing, etc. The cleaning efficiency of detergents is reduced by minerals present in hard water. To help prevent this problem, request Haynes Plumbing Services to come to your home.

Soft Water uses less soap and cleaning products, reduces soap scum, reduces spots on dishes & glasses, removes the scale that clogs plumbing and water heaters, increases the life of your appliances (like dishwashers and water heaters), softens skin, opens pores and cleans hair better, and improves the taste of boiled foods and vegetables. To take advantage of these benefits, request a bid today from Haynes Plumbing Services.
