Water Hardness in CLARE
Result:
VERY HARD WATER
What Does It Mean?
The water supply to your property contains high levels of hard water minerals.
These minerals are contributing factors to limescale and can affect the taste of your water.
Very hard water is not as effective at cleaning clothes, dishes, glassware and even you! Hard water minerals react differently to softened water and are less effective when it comes into contact with soaps and shampoos that can lead to dry or irritated skin and damaged hair.

How does hard water impact you and your home?
Water with excessive minerals such as calcium and magnesium is called as hard water.
Hard water problems can be a real hassle, especially for new homeowners who may be unfamiliar with the issues it causes. Solving those problems can vastly improve your family’s quality of life and get things back to normal again.
Hard water is not kind to your plumbing system. Repeated exposure to hard water will cause limescale to build up on appliances, clog pipework and shoot up energy costs.
Here are some ways in which hard water can damage your home and why you should consider getting a water softener in Clare.
Unsightly Scale
It is highly likely you must have already noticed the tell-tale signs such as white stains on your taps, sinks, glassware, and silverware. That’s limescale buildup which not only looks embarrassing but is also difficult to scrub away.
Short Lifespan of Appliances
Hard water can wreak havoc on appliances in your home, from the electric kettles and showers to the hot water heater. Limescale buildup on appliances destroys these appliances and lead to expensive repairs.
Clogged Pipework
Showerheads aren’t the only things that can get clogged up thanks to hard water. Scale buildup in pipework can eventually reduce the pressure in the pipes and other major plumbing issues.
High Bills
Excessive hardness in water leads to limescale buildup which in turn reduces the efficiency of appliances. Your appliances have to work harder when working on hard water and this leads to increased energy bills. Just 1.6mm of limescale can reduce energy efficiency by up to 15%. An average Irish family can save up to €600 every year on energy bills with softened water.
Dry & Itchy Skin
The minerals present in hard water do not lather well with soap & body wash. As a result, bathing in hard water leaves a thin layer of residue which causes irritated, itchy, & dry skin. Mineral deposits left on the body can also suck moisture right out of your skin.
Damaged Hair
Because water in Clare is hard, your shampoo will not lather properly and leave a soap residue on hair & scalp. The buildup of excessive minerals not only weighs your hair down, making it look flat and lifeless but also make your stands feel dry and brittle.
