How Hard Water Is Damaging Your Appliances

Every month, you receive a bill from the water company for your water usage. But did you realize that the true cost of your water could be much, much greater?

In fact, depending on your water quality,the water running through your home could be costing you a fortune.

We’re referring to water that contains a high amount of mineral sediment, also known as “hard water.” Few people realize it, but hard water can be so EXPENSIVE.

So if you have hard water, here are 3 ways that it’s costing you money:

Great system, good company to deal with. Install was quick and efficient with the installer being very knowledgeable professional and took the time to explain everything to us. The system was installed neatly and he cleaned up after himself. Would recommend.

I’ve had consistent excellent service from Shawn and Nathan. The coffee machine is excellent, and the delivery service has been exceptional.

Malcolm Clark

Nathan from Culligan came to our office and provided us with some great water solutions. We had typically just purchased bottled water, but we ended up going with a counter mounted unit as we had limited storage. We also went with a second storage tank. We have had great reviews on the quality of water we now have. Thank you for walking use through all our options.

Carmela McDonald

The Culligan water coolers at our location work great! The water always tastes great and the temperatures are spot on.

Gord Hanson

We contracted with Kaschl’s Culligan Water to install and maintain a coffee service system at our business approximately one year ago. Every single aspect of that experience, from the product provided, the relationship that was established with Nathan and his team as well as with their regular ongoing support and maintenance of the equipment has been top notch. We are very pleased with our decision to go with this company and would highly recommend them with zero reservation!

I quite enjoy that RO bottled water is delivered right to my door! The gentlemen that deliver are kind and quick with products and always deliver with a smile. I am able to message the delivery men on the day of delivery in advance and provide them with what I require for that delivery. Communication is always open and superb. Should another delivery be required it is usually handled at the quickest possible moment. Everything flows smoothly with Culligan deliveries. Thank you for the great quality service.

Thank you so much for your awesome service. Having an injury maked bringing in these water bottles a challenge. Your delivery service has been an added benefit to me. Your staff is so pleasant and accommodating as well. Thanks again!

ARNE BARON

Kevin was very professional in all he presented, he did not sell me a drinking water system he helped me buy one. I would highly recommend him for all your water needs

Joni Bahm

The staff at Kaschl’s Culligan Water are absolutely fantastic. Each time I go in the store I am greeted as soon as I walk in the door! I personally go there for their Traeger Rub’s, and some how each time I am there, their knowlegable staff suggest other spices/rubs that we haven’t yet tried! Not only do they have suggestions on what to try-they explain exactly what food it can be tried with! I have also noticed that they carry different brands of rubs/spices, which is ideal as it gives the customer lots of options!I highly recommend Kaschl’s- not only for their amazing service, but also for all their products!

Jamie Soucy

From the initial conversation with Shawn, the consultation with Nathan, the appointment scheduling with Lindsey, to the installation itself, the entire process was seamless! Everything was handled with professionalism and efficiency—there were absolutely no issues or concerns at any stage. They even worked around my contractors and renovations, which was greatly appreciated.My staff and I absolutely love the bottleless water cooler—it’s a game-changer! Thanks again to the whole team for such a fantastic experience!Highly recommend!

Lance Herman

#1 Hard Water Makes Your Appliances Less Efficient

Did you know that hard water is hard on your appliances?

It’s true.

Hard water can reduce the efficiency of your appliances by up to 48%, according to a study by the Water Quality Association (WQA). And that decrease in efficiency can lead to a 29% increase in your energy bills–costing you $1,500 or more over a 10-year period.

(And that’s just for your water heater. The same efficiency loss would affect your dishwasher and your washing machine.)

#2 Hard Water Forces You To Waste More Soap & Detergent

When you have hard water, you have to use more soap, detergent, and other cleaning products. Over time, this can become a significant expense.

Think about how much money you spend on dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent, bath & kitchen soap, lotions, and other household cleaners. Probably several hundred dollars a year, depending on the size of your family…and if you have hard water.

(That cost could be reduced by 75% or more with soft water.)

#3 Hard Water Reduces the Lifespan of Your Appliances

Hard water also causes a buildup of scale that can shorten the lifespan of your appliances by 30-50%!

In another WQA study, the heating elements inside water heaters using hard water failed after just 19 months. The water heaters using non-hard water lasted much longer—up to 15 years.

Appliance Type	Lifespan with Soft Water	Lifespan with Hard Water
Dishwasher	10	10
Washing machine	11	7.7
Faucets	9	5.4
Toilets	6.5	2
Electric water heater	13	6.5
Gas water heater	11	5.5

How Can You Tell if You Have Hard Water?

If you suspect you have hard water, here are some of the telltale signs to watch out for:

Mineral buildup in sinks, bathtumbs, and on your water fixtures
Spots on your dishes, glasses, and silverware that don’t come out in the dishwasher
Water heaters that fail sooner than they should
Soap scum in your bathtub or on your shower curtain/shower door
Faded clothing (especially clothes that used to be vibrant & colorful)
Dry, itchy skin and limp-looking hair

Or you can always contact Culligan to schedule a free water test. One of our technicians will come to your house and test your water for hardness and other contaminants.
