What Is Hard Water?
When we say hard water, we don’t mean ice. That’s a different matter. Hard water refers to water that’s high in minerals, specifically calcium and magnesium. While these minerals are beneficial in smaller doses, larger amounts can cause big problems in the necessities of everyday life such as plumbing.
3 Signs You Have Hard Water
- Your faucets have a buildup of limescale, and water marks are left even after cleaning.
- When you do laundry, your white clothes are still dingy and colorful clothing is fading fast.
- When you run your tap water, it smells of chlorine.

Typically, the installation process takes a couple of hours. However, several factors, such as the size of the unit, can impact the time it takes. They last an average of 15 to 25 years, though there’s no hard and fast expiration date with these systems. It all depends on how much water the household uses and the hardness of the water in your area. The system is often installed along your house’s main water line. It must be on flat terrain within several feet of a power source and within 30 feet of a drain.
In the process of softening water, mineral ions such as calcium and magnesium are exchanged with potassium or sodium ions. This can affect the water’s taste, but not everyone will notice it. Hard water leaves buildup on your dishes and clothes and is also drying to your skin and hair. You will see and feel the difference. It may even improve your water pressure!
St. Louis County’s Water Hardness
St. Louis County has hard water levels of 10.5 to 14gpg to more than 14gpg, which means it’s categorized as “hard” to “very hard.” This means you’ve more than likely seen the negative effects mentioned above. When the issue of hard water is ignored, calcium builds up inside your plumbing, causing water pressure issues. It can even cause early water heater failure due to sediment depositing in the tank.
