Hard water carries a lot of dissolved calcium and magnesium. When it heats up or dries, those minerals turn into scale.
Signs you have it
White crust around faucets and shower heads, spots on glasses and shower glass, laundry that feels stiff, and soap that won’t lather well.
What it does
Scale builds up inside your water heater, which can make it work harder and wear out sooner. It also clogs shower heads and leaves film on glass and fixtures.
What fixes it
A salt-based softener removes the hardness minerals. A salt-free conditioner changes how scale forms but doesn’t remove the minerals, so results differ. The right size depends on how hard your water is and how many people live in your home, which is why we test first.
