What Is Hard Water — and Why Does It Matter?

Most homes in the Chicago western suburbs have hard water. That means your water contains elevated levels of dissolved minerals — primarily calcium and magnesium — that are picked up as groundwater moves through limestone and rock formations. Hard water isn't a health concern, but it can cause real problems throughout your home over time.

From white mineral deposits on your faucets to scale buildup inside your water heater, hard water puts extra wear on your plumbing, appliances, and fixtures. A properly sized water softener removes those minerals through a process called ion exchange, replacing them with a small amount of sodium — leaving you with softer, more manageable water throughout your home.
