Hard water, simply put, is the elevated amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in the water supply. Most of NJ’s water supply is considered hard. We test the water hardness during every inspection. Keep in mind, most of NJ water is hard and most residences would benefit from having a water softener installed. Installing a water softener helps prolong the life of many appliances, including your dishwasher, clothes washing machine, more importantly, and expensive, your water heater or boiler (heating systems). These systems also will not break the bank and can typically be installed for less than a few thousand dollars.
Many people enjoy the benefits of softer water such as, spending less money on detergents and soaps, more efficient appliances, longer lifespan between replacing appliances, helps treat skin conditions such as exema, streak free dishes and glasses, and many more benefits.
