While hard water isn’t dangerous to consume, it’s chock-full of mineral deposits that can result in plumbing issues and other unpleasant outcomes if used for drinking, washing dishes, laundry, and more. If your Indiana home has hard water, it may be time to consider installing a water softening system. 

Korte Does It All is your one-stop shop for water treatment services, offering unmatched expertise and skill. Below, we discuss hard water, its prevalence in Indiana, and some benefits of installing a water softener.

Water Hardness Statistics in Indiana

The 6.7 million people living in Indiana depend on sound water sources for many reasons. Indiana has many water sources, including lakes and rivers, and residents rely on Indiana’s groundwater to provide for them daily.

Indiana has very hard water. Hard water has a high mineral content, usually containing deposits of limestone, gypsum, calcium, and magnesium. The state’s average water hardness is 262 PPM (parts per million), and its most populous city, Indianapolis, has a water hardness of 274 PPM.

The highest water hardness levels are found in Wabash and Somerset, falling at 560 PPM. While drinking hard water may contain health benefits, it generally causes plumbing issues that can be reversed with water treatments.

The Benefits of Installing a Water Softener

A whole-home water softener might be right for you if you want to improve your home’s hard water. You may not know what you’re missing with clean, purified water until you start reaping the benefits yourself.

Some of the many perks of using a water softening system include:

• Softer hair and skin
• Prevention of limescale buildup on faucets, dishes, and more
• Extended lifespan for water-using appliances
• Improved water heater efficiency
• Better-tasting and -looking water
