When the two of us first bought our house, I was glad by the large piece of property and the privacy, and the two of us chose a farmhouse with a immense study room, wide front porch and hardwood floors, and having lived in the town for most of our lives, my husband and I never considered the potential downsides of a water well. The two of us paid for a home inspection and were assured that there is plenty of water, then no a single mentioned that the water is extremely hard, and it’s overrun with minerals. The water has a slight yellow hue and odors of rotten eggs. The two of us don’t dare drink it. I don’t even like showering with it. The taxing water diminishes the ability of soap to lather and leaves a scum behind. I never suppose totally clean. It dries out my skin and causes frizzy hair. The water stains everything it touches, including our towels, clothing and bed linens. I constantly scrub the sinks, tubs and toilets with drastic chemicals, however there is a permanent ring around the toilet bowls. The aerators on the faucets plug so abruptly that I’ve detachd them all. The water corrodes the faucets and shortens the repair life of the washing component and water heater. I’ve given up trying to run the dishwasher. The glasses, plates and silverware come out looking worse than when they went in. Hard water is especially taxing on the pipes. It creates a buildup of iron, rust, calcium and sediment that reduces water pressure and hinders drainage. The two of us have tried several different types of water softeners and filtration systems. The water is especially hard, and these systems can’t keep up with demand.
