Water Treatment
What is “hard” water?
Minerals in water are what makes your water “hard” – most commonly these minerals are calcium and magnesium. These minerals can cause build-up in your plumbing, in your appliances, and on finish surfaces as well as your dishes. You can often see this build-up on shower heads and other home appliances.
Chlorine
The Treasure Valley’s municipal city water sources use chlorine as part of the treatment and water reclamation process. Your chlorine levels will fluctuate depending on the frequency of when the chlorine is added and the distance you are away from the source. Chlorine is arguably harder on gaskets, cartridges, and other plumbing materials than hard water and can be less enjoyable to drink. Chlorine will also shorten the life and efficiency of the resin used in a water softener.
