Hard water can have some rather negative effects on the proper functioning of your home. While these effects are annoying, we might have bigger anxiety related to hard water, and that is if it is adversely affecting our health. Hard water, can leave scum on sinks or even affect our skin. This soapy scum can be left on the skin and hair leading to some skin irritations. It is of note to mention, however, that WHO suggests that there is no convincing evidence that shows hard water affects a person’s health in an adverse way.
What, though if hard water is becoming too much of a problem? Hard water can be treated and there are various options for doing so. Water softeners remove unwanted minerals in the water, but do your research with these, as sometimes the water may end up with a high sodium content making it undrinkable. Water conditioners are also used to treat hard water, but again, it’s good to do your research.
