A lot of homes in our area run on private wells, and even town water can be hard. Your fixtures, water heater and skin all feel it.

Common causes

  • Hardness. Calcium and magnesium leave white scale and wear out heaters and valves.
  • Iron. Orange and brown stains on fixtures and laundry.
  • Sediment. Grit that clogs aerators, filters and water heaters.
  • Pressure tank problems. Pressure swings and a pump that clicks on and off.

What you can check first

  • Look for white crust on faucets and shower heads
  • Check for orange stains in toilets and sinks
  • Notice whether your water heater pops or rumbles
  • Get your well water tested if it has been a while

When to call a plumber

  • Water heaters are wearing out early
  • Stains keep coming back
  • Pressure swings on a well
