From Hard Water to Silky Soft – BWT Pearl Water Systems for a Healthier Home

Is your water leaving stains on taps, showerheads, dishes, or kettles? If so, you may be dealing with hard water. Hard water contains a high concentration of salts, including calcium ions, which can cause limescale buildup wherever water flows. Over time, this buildup can lead to a range of problems, including blocked valves, scale deposits on fixtures, and the need for frequent repairs on calcified appliances. Hard water can also reduce water pressure by narrowing pipe diameters. Beyond the damage to your home, it can harm your skin and wear out your laundry.
