Hard Water Costs You Time and Money It’s not hard to notice the you have hard water contamination in your home. Hard Water is composed of inorganic metals and minerals like Calcium, Magnesium and even Iron. These contaminants coat every single thing they touch with a bothersome mineral scale that can make life inconvenient, expensive, and environmentally unsustainable. When Hard Water interacts with soap, a sticky scum develops that coats the fibers of clothes, and inevitably causes them to wear through faster, while making whites gray and colors dull. Sticky soap scum also sticks to your body, which can make it harder to wash truly clean. When Hard Water is heated, the minerals are attracted to hot surfaces and slowly build a rock-like scale that causes water heaters to fail, wastes heating energy, and can even reduce water flow.
