Hard water is bad news for a home in many ways. Here are a few:
- It makes it tough to work up soap lather, turning simple cleaning and showering into hassles.
- It leaves buildup on the inside of pipes that lowers water pressure and leads to clogs.
- It stains laundry and dishes and leads to faded clothing.
But worst of all the problems with hard water is what it does to water-using appliances. The water heater is the most vulnerable. Hard water and a water heater are a bad mixture—and it usually ends tragically for the water heater.
We recommend you call a plumber in Apopka, FL if you have hard water in your home. A plumber can install the best solution—a whole-house water softener. This fixes all the problems we mentioned above, and it may save your water heater from an early replacement.
