‘Hard water’ is filled with minerals. As water is pumped up from underground aquifers, or flows through canyons into the Rio Grande, it picks up minerals that remain in the water once it arrives at your home.

While hard water is safe to drink, it’s not ideal for your home in several other ways. The high mineral content can lead to pipe scaling and mineral buildup in your home’s water heater. Hard water prevents soaps and detergents from working effectively, leads to water spots on everything from faucets to dishes, and can even irritate skin by drying it out.
Around here, our homes are no strangers to hard water problems. Here in Albuquerque, our tap water ranges from 120-150 PPM. In Santa Fe, it’s upwards of 150 PPM. As a whole, the U.S. Geological Survey classifies the entire state of New Mexico as having ‘moderately hard’ to ‘very hard’ water. The solution is a water softener, professionally installed by our plumbers.
As mineral-laden content passes through your pipes, some of those minerals leach out, forming deposits on the interior walls of the pipe. With enough time, this ‘scaling’ can start to block the flow.
Hard water can lead to scaling buildup in washing machines and dishwashers, limiting their lifespan. Hard water also reduces the effectiveness of soap and detergent, making cleaning harder.
Homes with hard water problems typically notice discoloration on faucets and fixtures. Those are hard water stains, sometimes known as ‘soap scum.’ They can make your kitchen feel much older.
The minerals in hard water prevent soaps—including dish soap, hand soap, and laundry detergent—from working as effectively, which means you need to use more soap to finish basic cleaning tasks.
Hard water stains can cause spotting on your glassware and silverware, which means you’ll have to clean everything twice before you host that next dinner party with your friends or family.
In the shower, hard water causes soap to adhere to skin, often causing it to dry out. This leads to skin irritation, especially in the times of year when your home’s air is also incredibly dry.
Our whole-home water softener is a game-changer for homes here in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. This salt- and potassium-free system uses electric descaling to remove minerals from your home’s tap water.
The water is filtered through a dual-action mixed media filter, which reduces or removes harmful chemicals through absorption and oxidation.
As the water goes through this media, it creates “channels” where it is filtered.
Once filtered, the water goes through an electronic descaler, which uses high-frequency electronic pulses to change the chemical state of the calcium and magnesium so your body can absorb them.
Many water softeners rely on salt or potassium to absorb minerals and soften water. Not only does this regularly mean the system needs to be ‘recharged,’ but it also results in a brine byproduct that’s bad for the environment. In contrast, our water filtration system uses an electronic descaler system.
By reducing the mineral and scale buildup in your home’s water heater tank, a water filtration system can help it operate more efficiently, saving you on your utility bills every month.
By softening your home’s water, water filtration systems help prevent pipe scaling. This mineral buildup can accelerate the date your home’s pipes and plumbing need to be replaced.
Hard water is rough on appliances like your dishwasher and washing machine. With this system, you can ensure these appliances last longer and run better. Detergents and soaps will also work better!
The minerals in hard water can sap the moisture from your skin and hair, leaving you feeling dry when you step out of the shower. With softened water, soap washes off more effectively, too.
Washing fruits and vegetables with hard water can lead to flavors and nutrients being leached out of your dinner. You’ll notice the difference when you taste pasta made with softened, purified water.
Hard water attacks the fibers in clothes, draining them of their once-vibrant colors and causing other damage. Softened water is great for preserving the color and look of your favorite outfits.
