What is Hard Water?

Hard water is any supply that contains excess minerals or metals, and 85% of North American households are in a hard water area. This can cause a variety of problems related to cleaning, appliance life expectancy and efficiency – including problems related to your water heater.


Do I have Hard Water?

You can determine the hardness level of your water by requesting a free hard water test strip. This quick and simple test will help you decide whether a water softener is right for you.
