Is Drinking Hard Water Bad for You?

July 21, 2018 By Brent D. Hershey Leave a Comment

is drinking hard water bad for youTurning the tap and filling up a glass of refreshing water is one of life’s modern-day miracles. But is drinking hard water bad for you?

While research has shown that hard water can boost your magnesium and calcium levels to help preserve bone and muscle functions, it has also been reported to cause an upset stomach. Plus, the high mineral content of hard water can wreak havoc on your plumbing system, causing widespread corrosion in your taps, fittings, and pipes.

If you want to find out how hard your water is or learn about your water treatment options, contact Tri-County Water Services. For more than 20 years, we have helped homeowners enjoy softer, safer, cleaner, and tastier drinking water. Call 610-857-1740 today to find out more.

What Is Hard Water?

Hard water is a common term used to describe water that has a high mineral content. Despite rigorous filtration, most water pumped to our homes contains a certain amount of sediment that can lead to dry skin, dull hair, smudged glassware, stained dishes, and damaged porcelain. This mineral buildup can also negatively affect the taste and scent of your drinking water.

Have you noticed soap scum lingering on your bathtub or in your sink? This could be a sign that your home has hard water.

Tri-County Water Services can provide you with a detailed analysis of your home’s H2O to identify which minerals and contaminants are gumming up your water supply. Our team specializes in installing, repairing, and maintaining a wide range of advanced water softening systems and can help you choose the right water softener for your needs.

While hard water is not a major health risk, switching to softer water can help reduce the accumulation of sticky soap scum and increase the lifespan of your plumbing and appliances by preventing mineral scale buildup.
