What Is Hard Water?

Hard water is the term used to describe water that has a high mineral content, primarily consisting of calcium and magnesium ions. When water percolates through limestone or chalk deposits (often found underground in many places), it dissolves and collects these minerals. In an average home, hard water can lead to several issues, such as reducing soap and detergent effectiveness and leaving behind a sticky residue on dishes and laundry. 

Over time, hard water can cause limescale build-up on plumbing fixtures and appliances like kettles, dishwashers, and water heaters. This scale can also reduce their efficiency and lifespan. Additionally, hard water can leave stubborn white spots on glassware and may even cause dry skin and hair for individuals who bathe in it regularly.

Common Drinking Water Inclusions in Kitchener

In Kitchener, some of the most common inclusions found in drinking water include chlorine, which is used for disinfection purposes. While chlorine in trace amounts does help keep our water safer, it can sometimes impart a noticeable taste and odour. Additionally, various minerals like calcium and magnesium contribute to water hardness, which can cause scaling on appliances and fixtures. 

Other impurities can also include trace amounts of metals such as lead and copper, especially in homes with older plumbing systems. Organic compounds from agricultural runoff and industrial processes are also not uncommon, especially in properties that draw water from a well. Our water purification systems at Dunn Heating and Air Conditioning are designed to address these inclusions, providing you with cleaner, safer water for everyday use.

It isn’t uncommon for areas in the Region of Waterloo to have at least trace amounts of the following:

• Heavy metals, such as mercury, boron or cadmium
• Inorganic materials, such as arsenic, fluoride, or nitrites
• Volatile organic compounds (or VOCs)
• Mineral compounds, such as calcium and magnesium
• Microbes, including bacteria and viruses
