If you live in Hemet, you’ve seen hard water’s fingerprints: spotty dishes, crusty faucets, and water heaters that don’t last. The Inland Empire’s water is naturally high in minerals, and those minerals add up.
Here’s how hard water affects your plumbing — and the steps that protect your home.
What hard water does to your plumbing
Dissolved calcium and magnesium leave scale everywhere water flows:
- Scale narrows pipes and reduces water pressure
- Sediment collects in water heaters, cutting efficiency and lifespan
- Aerators, showerheads, and cartridges clog and drip
- Appliances like dishwashers and washers wear out sooner
Signs hard water is hurting your home
Watch for white crust on faucets, spotty glassware, dry skin and dull laundry, reduced flow, and a water heater that pops or rumbles. Each is a clue that scale is building up where you can’t see it.
