Q: How does water hardness affect the home?
Green Water Technologies: Its first important to understand what hard water is. Hard water is that it contains calcium deposits, and sometimes other minerals. It can leave a difficult-to-clean film over your home’s hard surfaces, such as the bathtub and kitchen sink. These deposits can also make soap and detergent clump together, leaving your skin dry and irritated.
Q: Does hard water cause eczema?
Green Water Technologies: Hard water has been cited as a potential cause of many skin conditions, including eczema.
Q: Is it dangerous to run hard water through your home’s plumbing system?
Green Water Technologies: Absolutely. While hard water does not pose a threat to human health, it can significantly damage everything it touches. Water pipes that have become clogged with hard water build up may need to be replaced completely well before their expected lifespan. Just as expensive is that your dishwasher and hot water heater may also be negatively affected and require replacement many years early.
Q: How does a whole home water filtration system help?
Green Water Technologies: Systems such as the GE Pro Elite work around the clock to remove hard water particles from the water you drink. Home water filtration systems do more than purify your drinking water, but ensures that every drop running through your pipes is of the highest quality and without the potentially expensive side effect of leaving mineral deposits throughout your plumbing system and appliances.
