My life with hard water

When all of us first purchased our house, I was delighted by the large piece of property plus the privacy, however both of us chose a farmhouse with a substantial family room, wide front porch plus hardwood floors, but having lived in the city for most of our lives, my spouse plus I never considered the potential disadvantages of a water well.

Both of us paid for a condo inspection plus were assured that there is plenty of water, and no a single mentioned that the water is harshly hard, and it’s overrun with minerals, the water has a slight green hue plus aromas of rotten eggs.

Both of us don’t dare drink it. I don’t even savor showering with it. The hard water diminishes the ability of soap to lather plus leaves a scum behind. I never believe totally clean. It dries out my skin plus causes frizzy hair. The water stains everything it touches, including our towels, clothing plus bed linens. I always disinfect the sinks, tubs plus toilets with extreme chemicals, however there is a permanent ring around the toilet bowls. The aerators on the faucets plug so rapidly that I’ve removed them all. The water corrodes the faucets plus shortens the repair life of the washing device plus water heater. I’ve given up trying to run the dishwasher. The glasses, plates plus silverware come out looking worse than when they went in. Hard water is especially hard on the pipes. It creates a buildup of iron, rust, calcium plus sediment that reduces water pressure plus hinders drainage. Both of us have tried many unusual types of water softeners plus filtration systems. The water is especially hard, plus these systems can’t keep up with demand.
