Common Causes of Hard Water Issues

Hard water is basically H2O with a high mineral count. And it can be a reason to consider whole home water filtration in Brigantine City, NJ, a cost-effective water softening option available from Barron Plumbing & Heating. Below, we take a closer look at some of the common causes of the hard water issues that can make a water filtering system a smart solution.

Older Pipes

Whole-home water filtration is worth considering if you have older pipes that may be causing hard water issues. This can happen if there are sediment and other minerals that have accumulated within pipe walls over the years. As long as your pipes are still working well, a filtration system can be a more cost-effective way to remedy this problem.

Water Source Issues

Water filtration is often the best solution if the reason for hard water is the source it’s coming from. This is typically either your local municipal water supplier or a well that’s on your own property. There’s often very little you can do about mineral-rich water that comes into your home that way – other than finding a filtration option that’s right for you.

Geographic Features

You may also benefit from water filters or whole-house systems if there are certain high levels of magnesium, calcium, and other minerals commonly found in hard water. Again, there’s not much that can be done about this other than whole-filtration. However, properly filtered water can also taste and smell better and reduce wear on your pipes and plumbing fixtures, so there are other perks you’ll likely appreciate.
