Hard water affects a majority of homeowners, and we oftentimes overlook its impact. You may see hard water create residue or spots on dishes and glassware, cause soap scum buildup in your shower, or lead to yellowed, dingy whites coming out of the laundry.

In some instances, certain contaminants in water may lead to health issues. Generally speaking, hard water does not pose a threat to health. It can, however, exacerbate eczema and acne. Hard water can also cause mineral buildup on hair, leading to a coarse texture, hair loss, and hair breakage.

While the immediate impact of soft water is most noticeable in terms of improved water quality, you will also notice that soft water cuts down on a number of costs. With soft water, you can use less soap for dishwashing and laundry. When you’re flushing fewer chemicals down the drain, you also reduce your environmental impact. As hard water leads to heat loss, you will enjoy lower electric or gas bills when heating soft water. Hard water impacts and reduces the lifespan of household water-using appliances. With soft water minimizing scale buildup, everything from your water heater to your coffee maker will work more efficiently for a longer time.

Believe it or not, bottled water is naturally soft… but there may be a notably different pollutant in bottled water that you won’t find in tap water. Bottled water often contains microplastic, which has been identified as a possible health hazard.
