Hard Water: What it is, and Its Effects Hard water is a type of water that has high mineral content and usually contains calcium, magnesium or iron. This makes it difficult to wash your clothes in because the minerals build up in the fabric, making them stiff. It also means that soap doesn't work as well since it relies on soft water to create suds. If you have hard water at home then there are some things that may need to be done about it. Hard water occurs in regions where there is a lot of limestone in the bedrock. If you live in one of these regions, then it might be time to install a water softener. Hard Water: What you need to know Hardwater is a destructive substance to the environment, your plumbing system, and yourself. The first step in understanding hard water is defining it--it contains minerals like calcium that make soap less effective making clogs more frequent. It also increases lead levels in the body because of high amounts of copper or iron with an abundance magnesium compounds present; this can be found on pipes made from either metal which are used for homes' plumbing systems. Hard water does not just damage you by destroying appliances such as stoves and dishwashers but can damage your home's walls over time when seeping through cracks then being absorbed into drywall particles until they eventually erode away.
