Water Problem Guide

White Spots on Dishes and Glasses?

White spots, cloudy film, and chalky residue on dishes, glassware, faucets, and shower doors are caused by hard water — specifically dissolved calcium and magnesium that deposit when water evaporates.

Common Causes

  • Calcium carbonate deposits from hard water
  • Magnesium scale from dissolved minerals
  • Hard water reacting with soap to form soap scum
  • Dishwasher not rinsing with soft enough water

The Fix

A whole-home water softener addresses hard water spotting by exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium before water enters your home. ClearFlow measures your hardness level and sizes the system to your household; capacity and performance are defined by the manufacturer's published specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hard water leaves calcium and magnesium deposits as it dries. Even with rinse aid, hard water causes spots — the only solution is softening the water itself.
