If your water has that slimy feel when you shower, where it’s hard to rinse clean, chances are you have hard water. If water dries white on your faucet finishes or shower doors/glass, chances are you have hard water.
Hard water can cost you money as the build up of the calcium/mineral deposits can eventually clog up your pipes or ruin your fixtures. Also it is simply annoying to have to wipe off any water drips on your shiny faucets because it always dries with a nasty white residue!
What’s the solution? Start looking into water softeners. Water softeners typically use various technologies to achieve the same goal, which is to get rid of the high ratio of calcium deposits in the water going into your house. Whichever method, the bottom line is that you will be better off for it if you live in a hard water state. How to tell? Once again, simply check and see if your water dries with visible residue on shiny areas.
