Hard water is one of the most common plumbing problems across Arizona. While it might not seem urgent, untreated hard water can quietly damage your plumbing system, appliances, and even your skin over time.
So how do you know if your home needs a water softener? Here are 5 clear signs:
- White, Chalky Buildup on Faucets and Fixtures
If you notice white residue on your showerheads or around faucets, that’s mineral buildup — mostly calcium and magnesium. It’s a classic sign of hard water.
- Dry Skin and Brittle Hair
Hard water strips away natural oils from your skin and hair. If you constantly deal with dry, itchy skin or dull, frizzy hair, your water may be to blame.
- Stained Dishes and Glassware
Even after washing, your dishes might come out spotty or cloudy. That’s because the minerals in hard water don’t rinse away easily.
- Soap That Doesn’t Lather
Hard water makes it harder for soap and shampoo to foam, meaning you use more product and still don’t feel clean.
- Plumbing Problems and Appliance Wear
Minerals from hard water can clog pipes, reduce water pressure, and cause long-term damage to water heaters, dishwashers, and laundry machines.
