The Truth About Hard Water in Central Florida

If you’ve noticed spots on your dishes, soap that doesn’t lather well, or buildup around your faucets, you might be dealing with hard water—and you’re not alone. Hard water is a common issue in Central Florida due to the high mineral content in our groundwater, especially calcium and magnesium.

While hard water isn’t necessarily harmful to your health, it can be tough on your plumbing and appliances. Over time, mineral deposits (called scale) can build up inside pipes, water heaters, and dishwashers, reducing efficiency and shortening their lifespan. You might also see reduced water pressure or need more soap and detergent to get things clean.

So, what can you do?

One of the most effective solutions is installing a water softener or a water treatment system. These systems remove excess minerals from your water, helping to protect your plumbing, improve appliance performance, and even make your skin and hair feel softer after a shower.
