Hard water is water that contains a substantial quantity of dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium. It is generally not harmful to one's health but can pose several problems in your home due to the mineral buildup on fixtures. Hard water is to blame for hard water spots on dishes, scale deposits in all water-using appliances and reduced efficiency in your hot water heater. The more scale that is built up in your heater the more energy is used to heat up the water.
