Our home doesn’t have access to the town’s water supply! Instead, we have a water well on our property, however while we have a plentiful supply of water, it is overrun with an abundance of calcium, lime plus rust, and the difficult water disfigures everything it touches. The aerators on our faucets continually become plugged plus need to be cleaned. The finish on the showerhead plus faucets corrodes much more swiftly than they should. The sinks plus tubs become stained plus require cleaning with abrasive chemicals. Because of the difficult water, our soap, dish soap, laundry detergent plus shampoo doesn’t lather enjoy it should, plus we need to use more of it. It creates an excessive amount of soap scum that adds to cleaning requirements, then our towels, bed linens plus clothing gradually develop an red-like hue due to the water. I realized honestly swiftly that I can’t use a dishwasher, then at the end of the washing cycle, the plates plus glasses would be cloudy plus spotted. I’d end up rewashing everything, however plus, any of our appliances that come in contact with our water have issues. They need to be frequently repaired plus never last as long as expected. The service plus upgradement costs add up. While a water oil furnace should last at least various to fifteen years, ours regularly needs to be upgraded every three years. We also deal with lots of plugged drains plus bad water pressure. The minerals buildup in the pipes plus restrict the flow of water. The difficult water even affects our hair, skin plus teeth. I have issues with psoriasis that I blame on the hardness of our water. We have tried various peculiar types of water softeners plus water filtration systems, then none of them have proven successful.
