If your faucets leave behind white residue, your appliances wear out faster than they should, or your skin feels dry no matter what soap you use — you’re probably dealing with hard water.
It’s one of the most common issues we see here at Crisp Water Technologies, and it’s costing Montana homeowners and businesses more than they realize.
🤔 What Is Hard Water, Anyway?
Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium. These minerals occur naturally in groundwater and are especially common in areas with limestone or mineral-rich soil — like much of Montana.
While not dangerous to your health, hard water creates a slow but steady drain on your wallet.
🧼 5 Ways Hard Water Is Costing You Money
1. Appliance Wear & Tear
Dishwashers, washing machines, coffee makers, and water heaters all suffer when hard water builds up scale inside. This makes them work harder, break sooner, and cost more to run.
🧯 A water heater with hard water buildup loses up to 48% efficiency over time.
2. Plumbing Repairs
Mineral buildup can narrow your pipes, restrict flow, and cause blockages — all leading to expensive plumbing calls and even pipe replacements.
3. Higher Energy Bills
When your appliances and water systems are clogged with scale, they require more power to function — especially water heaters. That leads to increased utility costs month after month.
4. More Soap, More Cleaning Products
Hard water doesn’t mix well with soap, which means:
- You’ll need to use more shampoo, detergent, and cleaning products
- You’ll deal with spots on dishes, soap scum in showers, and dull laundry
All of this means spending more money just to keep things clean.
5. Dry Skin & Hair Treatments
Hard water strips natural oils from your skin and hair, leading to dryness, irritation, and the need for extra moisturizers, conditioners, and treatments.
