Hard water is water that has a high mineral content. Hard water occurs in both municipal and rural water supplies and is the natural result of minerals such as magnesium and calcium accumulating during the water cycle. Measured grains per gallon (gpg) — with one grain equivalent to 17.1 milligrams of minerals per liter of water — water's "hardness" is not necessarily dangerous, though at high levels it should be treated. Signs and effects of hard water include:
- Scum collected on shower doors and floors
- Staining in sinks and basins
- Dulled and clogged pores
- Worn-out clothing
- Increased energy bills due to scale build-up in your water heater and pipes.
- Low water pressure from in faucets, showers, and other water-using appliances.
