Have your glasses, dishes or utensils ever come out of your dishwasher having “white” spots on them or looking like they are covered in chalky residue? Then you may be dealing with hard water in your home. According to the United States Geological Survey, as many as 85% of homes fall into this category.
What is Hard Water?
Hard water is any water having a very high mineral content, usually calcium and magnesium and other trace minerals. This high mineral content in your water will make your dish soap less effective, and also gradually lead to limescale buildup, causing stains on anything it touches and can even reduce water pressure and flow in your pipes, and it only gets worse over time.
What are the signs of Hard Water?
- White, chalky residue or spots on dishes and in your dishwasher
- Clothes and linens that feel rough and look dull
- Scale buildup on faucets and ugly stains on white porcelain
- Dry skin and flat hair – because soap just doesn’t lather or rinse completely away
- Low water pressure from showers and faucets due to clogged pipes
What States Have the Hardest Water?
Most of us don’t think much about the water in our homes. However, water quality varies significantly across the country, which can lead to some challenges for millions of households. These are the states with the highest hard water content, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Texas, New Mexico and Kansas.
