WHAT IS HARD WATER?

Water is considered “hard” when your Newbury water contains higher levels of dissolved calcium and magnesium.  It makes cleaning clothes more difficult, creates streaking on dishes and glasses.  Additionally, it can make cleaning your hair and skin and other things well a challenge.  You may see white scale build-up on faucets and shower heads as evidence of this problem as well.  Other potential issues include damage to water using appliances and also to the plumbing distribution system. There are high efficiency filtration solutions that will remove these minerals through the proven ion exchange process.
