Hard water can cause problems because the calcium and magnesium ions react with the higher fatty acids of soap to form an insoluble gelatinous curd, thereby causing a waste of the soap. In boilers, which are mainly prerequisite in any industry as well as domestic water heating, the calcium and magnesium in hard waters form a hard adherent scale on the plate which in turn result in the poor heat conductivity of the scale, fuel consumption is increased, and the boiler deteriorates rapidly through the external overheating of the plates (Corrosion).

From your plumbing and electric appliances to your hair and skin, hard water touches just about everything in your home. Water is involved in most of your daily routines, the effects of hard water are felt everywhere the usage is. In the short period of time the costs seem negligible, but over the course of a year they add up. Multiply that over a period of time or may be your water softeners life, and you’re well beyond pocket change.

If calculated annually, the little things do add up quickly. But hard water also has a big impact on your major water-using appliances. If you have hard water, you can expect to lose 30% to 50% of an appliance’s projected lifespan. Below is a look at the most common appliances and how they’re impacted by hard water.

According to a study completed by the Water Quality Association, by using soft water in your home, you won’t have to replace major appliances as often or pay for costly maintenance visits nearly as regularly. Like other appliances, water softeners don’t last forever. Age and daily wear and tear take a toll, lessening the softener’s efficiency and contributing to higher household costs over time.
