The Poconos is considered to have moderately hard to hard water. This might mean much to nothing to some people but to the masses, it becomes a concerning issue. High dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium come through causing high content of lime scale. Leaving spottiness and residue within your pipes as well as on your glass and silverware and more importantly on yourself.
Dangers of Hard Water
Heart disease and high blood pressure are strong risk factors that come into play when looking at effects from drinking hard water. According to multiple international studies conclusions were made that indicated it also inhibited negative effects towards reproduction as well as mental health issues in children. Also included in the affects towards children breaks of eczema and minor issues of dry skin and irritated bumps from bathing within hard water. As stated earlier, there is a high content of minerals in hard water, which means cleaning products for bathing don’t break down as well in hard water causing more residue to be left with it.
On another note, hard water also has a damaging effect on the pipes of your home. In areas, like the Poconos, hard water can bring forth a buildup within your homes pipes and cause appliances to need to work more aggressively to get the job done.
