What is Hard Water?
Hard water refers to water that contains a higher volume of dissolved minerals than ideal. These minerals are rarely harmful, even at high levels, but it’s present if you notice:
- Spots on dishes
- Clothes and hair that feel grimy after washing
- Clogged water pipes and drains
- Accelerated wear on your water heater, fixtures, and other plumbing
Whole-Home Water Softener Installation & Replacement
By upgrading your home plumbing with a whole-home water softener, you can prevent hard water from taking a toll on your pipes, drains, and fixtures. Hard water may not harm you, but softening your water can help you with:
- Longer-lasting pipes
- Cleaner water
- Healthier hair
- Smoother and softer skin
- Cleaner dishes and clothes
- Fewer plumbing repairs
- Reduced water heater wear
Whole-Home Water Softener Repair
If you already have a whole-home water softener, it’s important to keep it in good condition. That means regular maintenance and swift repairs when something goes wrong.
Ask yourself if any of these symptoms of trouble developing in your system sound familiar:
- Water showing signs of contamination in taste or color
- Spots on dishes or your sink where water dries
- Grit or grime after washing your hair or clothes

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cincinnati's water hardness level?
Water sources in the Cincinnati area are rated 110mg/L, which makes Cincinnati water moderately hard.
What is considered hard water?
Depending on the standards used, water can be considered soft below 75mg/L, moderately hard up until 150mg/L, and very hard above that. The same numbers apply when measuring parts per million (PPM).
Are there any health concerns with hard water?
Very hard water could lead to excessive intake of certain minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, which might be an issue if you have certain sensitivities or health issues. It could also affect your skin and hair. For most healthy people, hard water should not be a substantial health concern.
Do I need a water softener and water filter?
Water softeners remove certain trace minerals, while filters and other water treatment systems can remove harmful biological contaminants and dangerous minerals such as lead.
Whether you need both will depend on your goals, the contents of your water, and the specific technologies you’re using.
