Remove scale and hard water deposits
with water conditioning products
Water is considered hard if it contains excessive amounts of calcium and magnesium. These minerals create scale which leads to reduced water flow through pipes. With hard water, there's that nasty buildup that encircles your bathtub or shower. Hard water can also wreak havoc on your appliances and cause soaps and detergents to lose their effectiveness. Worst of all, if hard water deposits make your clothes dingy, stain your sinks, spot your glasses and clog your pipes, you can imagine the effect the deposits are having on your skin.

FAQ's
What is hard water?
According to the U.S. Geologic Survey, 85 percent of the United States has to cope with hard water, which is water with excessive levels of calcium and magnesium. While hard water is not considered to be unhealthy for people to drink, it can be very unhealthy for household plumbing, cleaning processes, and water-using appliances. The phrase "Hard Water" came about because it was found to be very hard to clean with.
What does hard water scale do?
The minerals in hard water gradually settle out forming a hard scale. Scale build up will eventually clog pipes, and can decrease the life of toilet flushing units by 70 percent and water faucets by 40 percent according to a report published by the American Water Works Association (AWWA). Hardness scale can also shorten the life of washing equipment, dishwashers, and clothes washers by as much as 30 percent according to the AWWA report. Download Batelle Study
Scale also tends to form on the heating elements and heat transfer surfaces in these units, which leads to a shortened operational life and reduced efficiency. Reports have shown that a water heater's useful life can be reduced by as much as 50 percent through scale build-up.
Why does it feel like I can't get the soap off my skin when I bathe with soft water?
The squeaky clean feeling that many people correlate with cleanliness is actually the complete opposite. That feeling typically happens because there is still soap residue on your body that is there because of the reaction calcium and magnesium has with soap. Your skin should actually feel smooth and slippery, the way skin should naturally feel when wet. You'll also notice that you require much less shampoo and soap in soft water as opposed to hard water. Your hair will also be free of soap residue allowing it to be more manageable.
