Why Hard Water Is a Problem
Hard water is water that contains high levels of dissolved minerals—mainly calcium and magnesium. While not harmful to drink, these minerals can cause issues throughout your home:
- Soap scum and film on sinks, showers, and dishes
- Dry skin and hair after bathing or washing
- Stiff, faded laundry and higher detergent use
- Scale buildup inside pipes, faucets, and appliances
- Shortened appliance life (dishwashers, water heaters, washing machines)
Most areas of Ajax have moderately hard to hard water, especially in neighborhoods fed by certain municipal sources. If you’re spending more time cleaning—or more money replacing appliances—it’s time to look into a water softener.
