Few things are harder on your family than hard water. It’s hard on your clothes, your skin, and your hot tub.

What Makes Water Hard?
Hard water contains natural calcium and magnesium, the hardening minerals. Rain water begins as soft water, free of these minerals, but as it passes through and over the earth, it absorbs these minerals. While they aren’t harmful to your health, they do affect the water and how the water affects us.

Why Hard Water is Hard on your Spa?
Hard water can turn simple cleaning tasks into hard work. Tubs and fixtures will be covered with an unsightly film that turns into heavy deposits unless it is kept clean. These deposits can actually shorten the life of your spa by up to 35%.

Why Soft Water is Such an Advantage
Not only does soft water make your skin and suits feel good, it also saves money and time. You need less chlorine to keep soft water clean. You can say good-bye to annoying water scaling and scum as well as stubborn tub rings. Your pipes and filters remain stain- and clog-free, requiring less maintenance and repair.

How can I tell if my water is hard?
You may have hard water if your glasses and dishes are left with spots, or colored clothing looks dull. You can have your water tested by your water dealer or you may use a home water testing kit.
