When the people I was with and I first purchased our house, I was delighted by the large piece of property plus the privacy… We chose a farmhouse with a large kitchen, 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 setbacks of a water well.
We paid for a lake beach house inspection plus were assured that there is plenty of water! No 1 mentioned that the water is severely hard! It’s overrun with minerals, the water has a slight yellow hue plus smells of rotten eggs. We don’t dare drink it. I don’t even appreciate showering with it. The strenuous water diminishes the ability of soap to lather plus leaves a scum behind. I never assume 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 regularly scrub the sinks, tubs plus toilets with drastic chemicals, but there is a permanent ring around the toilet bowls. The aerators on the faucets plug so abruptly that I’ve dislinkd them all. The water corrodes the faucets plus shortens the service life of the washing component 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 difficult on the pipes. It creates a buildup of iron, rust, calcium plus sediment that reduces water pressure plus hinders drainage. We have tried many odd types of water softeners plus filtration systems. The water is especially hard, plus these systems can’t keep up with demand.
