Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can cause scale buildup, soap residue, and reduced efficiency in plumbing and appliances.
Hard water is common throughout Central Texas, including Austin and San Antonio. While it’s safe to drink, the mineral content can create noticeable problems around the home. Common signs include white scale buildup on faucets and showerheads, cloudy spots on dishes and glassware, stiff or scratchy laundry, and soap that doesn’t lather well.
Over time, hard water minerals can accumulate inside plumbing pipes, water heaters, and appliances, reducing efficiency and shortening their lifespan. Many homeowners also notice dry skin or dull hair due to mineral residue left behind after bathing.
Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning helps homeowners identify hard water issues and determine whether a water softener is the right solution based on water quality and household needs.
