Studies by the U.S. Geological Survey and Virginia Tech conclude that about 85% of the water in the United States is hard, and Florida is among the states with areas with very hard water. Kinetico explains, “Our water treatment systems are important for the area because they save a lot of money and trouble from problems caused by elevated calcium and magnesium deposits.” Mineral build-up in pipes decreases plumbing efficiency and can shorten the life of appliances like dishwashers by 30%. “It can also take a toll on the environment because homes with hard water use considerably more detergents, shampoos and soaps to get the same effects as a household or business with softer water. Not treating the water in your home is like pouring money down the drain.
