Is Arizona’s Hard Water Damaging Your Home?
If you live in Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, Mesa, or anywhere in the East Valley, you’ve likely dealt with the effects of Arizona’s hard water. You might notice white spots on your dishes, stubborn residue on faucets, or soap that just doesn’t lather. These are more than just minor annoyances. Hard water could be silently damaging your home.
At State48Water, we talk to homeowners every week who are surprised to find out how much hard water is costing them, both in repairs and in everyday quality of life.
What Is Hard Water, Exactly?
Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium. In Arizona, these minerals are naturally picked up as water moves through the ground. While hard water is not dangerous to drink, it can be extremely hard on your home and plumbing over time.
How Hard Water Impacts Your Home
Scale Buildup in Pipes: The white crust you see on showerheads and faucets is also building up inside your plumbing. Over time, this restricts water flow and puts extra stress on your pipes.
Appliance Damage: Dishwashers, washing machines, and especially water heaters lose efficiency and wear out faster when they run on hard water.
Cleaning Problems: Hard water makes it harder for soap and detergent to work, which leads to soap scum, water spots, and stiff laundry.
How It Affects Your Family
Dry Skin and Hair: The minerals in hard water can strip moisture from your skin and hair. Many people in the East Valley report itchy skin, especially in the winter months.
Higher Household Costs: When your appliances break down sooner, and you use more soap and cleaning products, your monthly costs go up without you even realizing it.
What’s the Best Solution?
The most effective way to treat hard water is with a traditional salt-based water softener. These systems use ion exchange to remove hardness minerals and replace them with sodium, giving you soft water throughout your home. This helps protect your plumbing, appliances, and your family’s comfort.
