St. George Hard Water

St. George is one of the areas in the United States that is plagued by hard water. Hard water develops from excess minerals such as calcium that along with not passing through piping as easily can also make skin rough much like that of our desert neighbor, the lizard. According to an analysis on the Quail Creek Water Source, the amount of calcium and magnesium deposits in our water are 23 to 26 grains per gallon! While we may adapt to this extra substance in our water, our home’s piping, our laundry and anything else that comes in contact with hard water may become damaged and wear down faster over time. We are grateful for whatever water we receive in our low moisture climate, but there are ways in improving the quality of the water we have. One of these ways is by installing a water softener. Water softeners can be installed and set to your water’s specific needs of softening. This can help to lower the excess mineral deposits and save your plumbing. For information on installing water softeners and inspecting piping for calcium building contact HiCaliber today at (435) 674-9338 or visit us online at http://www.hicaliber.biz
