Hard water makes it extremely difficult to get your clothes completely cleaned as discussed above, but it also could be the reason you’ve discovered white build up of residue on your water fixtures. Your fixtures mostly use water, therefore things such as the shower head, washer, water heater, fridge, shower head, and dishwasher will be impacted by hard water and that can be a problem. Hard water can reduce the efficiency of your appliances for example, by creating sediment buildup that sits at the bottom of your hot water heater tank. The deposits over time can cause your hot water tank to leak, and you may have to replace it. 

We’ve mentioned above that laundry is affected by hard water. Your clothing you run through cycles do not come out as clean as a result. Besides that, clothing tends to fade more quickly than you realize with hard water. For example, if you wash white clothing, it may turn a yellow shade no matter how many times you wash them, or even if you separate the whites from the color clothes. We don’t know about you, but if we’re spending money on clothing we don’t want it to come out stained.

That could be very damaging to your vehicle because it’s corrosive. This is exactly the reason why water softener installation is important, to prevent issues. So, let’s explore what hard water is.
