How Hard Water Affects Your Appliances – Large & Small

Appliances whether it be a small steam iron or a large steam washer aren’t cheap these days. If you live in northern New Jersey, I can almost bet anything that you have or will be replacing your coffee pot within the year…am I right?  Yes, I am. That’s not because I have this ability to see the future, but because hard water is a destroyer. Period.

Seals become deteriorated, connections collect green hard water sediment, the pump stops working and then there’s always the biggest telltale sign – leaking.

Besides the mess and inconvenience, consider the cost. A steam iron may run a mere $39.95; however, when you get into bigger ticket items such as a dishwasher or washing machine, you can be talking about thousands of dollars. Considering the cost of replacing these items, makes spending the money for a water softener for your home basically a no-brainer.
