Up until my husband and I moved to Southern California, I had never even heard of hard water. After the first week however, it was apparent that the water in our home was not what we were accustomed to; the laundry had an odd smell to it and in just a few days, the shower began to have significant deposits building up.
We asked one of our neighbors if they had the same issue, and they informed us that the area had hard water. While it is a constant minor inconvenience, the hard water does pose problems after time as the minerals are allowed to build up. This is a particular issue where the water is hot, like in coffee machines and the shower. In order to remedy the predicament, we’ve begun using a decalcifier, which not only eliminates the buildup but prevents them in the future as well.
