Hard Water in Your Home

Hard water is one of the most common water quality complaints we hear from SC and NC homeowners — associated with scale in pipes and fixtures, spotting on dishes, and soap that won't lather.

Key Facts

  • Water hardness varies widely across SC and NC depending on your source and location
  • The USGS classifies water above 7 grains per gallon as hard
  • Scale accumulation is a widely documented maintenance concern for water heaters and appliances
  • Some tankless water heater manufacturers specify maximum hardness levels in their warranty terms
  • Testing is the only way to know your home's actual hardness level
