The water is causing scale on my cooking utensils and my glassware is becoming coated with white film or spots, what is the cause and what can I do?
Spots on glassware or scale on taps and cooking utensils is due to water hardness. Hardness in drinking water is caused by two minerals, Calcium and Magnesium. If water contains substantial amounts of these minerals, the water is said to be hard because making lather with soap for washing is difficult (hard). However, water is safe to drink regardless of its hardness. Hardness is measured in parts per million of Calcium Carbonate which is identical to the mineral found in calcium vitamin supplements and in milk. For this and other reasons, it may be advisable to soften only the home water that is used for washing and bathing especially if you are on a low sodium diet. If you believe the spots and white film on your utensils and glassware is from a source other than hardness in the water, please give us a call at (661) 947-4111 so that we can perform a thorough investigation.
