Hard water hates soap. It forms that weird scum ring in your bathtub. You know the one. It also makes your hair feel like straw and your laundry look dingy. Fun fact: hard water can actually shorten the life of your appliances by building up scale inside them. Your coffee maker? Slowly turning into a limestone statue.
But here’s the quirky bit: some people love hard water. They say it tastes better. Others swear it’s why their skin doesn’t break out. But for most of us, it’s just a headache. A headache with a mineral content of over 120 mg per liter. That’s the official threshold for “hard.” You’re living in rock soup.
