Hard Water Problems in Georgia: Signs, Solutions & What to Do

If you've noticed white buildup on faucets, spotty dishes, or dry skin after showers, your Southeast Georgia home probably has hard water. Here's what you need to know and how to fix it.

What Is Hard Water?

Hard water contains high levels of dissolved minerals — primarily calcium and magnesium. It's not a health hazard, but it causes real problems throughout your home.

Signs of Hard Water

• **White scale buildup** on faucets, showerheads, and fixtures
• **Spots on dishes and glasses** after washing
• **Dry, itchy skin and dull hair** after bathing
• **Stiff laundry** that fades quickly
• **Reduced water heater efficiency** from scale buildup
• **Shortened appliance life** for dishwashers and washing machines

Hard Water Solutions

• **Water softener** — removes calcium and magnesium through ion exchange
• **Whole-house filter** — addresses multiple water quality issues
• **Reverse osmosis** — provides ultra-clean drinking water at the tap
