Hard Water

Hard Water

Hard water has a high concentrate of minerals like calcium and magnesium. Hard water is rarely bad for ones health, but it can really muck up industrial applications and make your shower heads and faucets look kinda gross. If you are not sure if your water is hard, try agitating some soap in a water sample. If it gets nice and foamy, your water is soft.
