People who live in areas with soft water are in for a rude awakening when they travel to another city that has hard water. Hard water is caused when the surrounding land has a high concentration of chalk, so that the underground water supply that flows through it picks up a lot of chalk.
This chalk-tainted water eventually becomes drinking water. Hard water is a nuisance; it clogs up pipes, kettles and other appliances. In order to stop this from happening in your coffee maker or other appliances, you will need to use a descaler. Not only does hard water cause damage to your appliances, but the taste can also be difficult to stomach, especially for a person unused to it.
