Because of the presence of minerals like calcium and magnesium bicarbonate, water in Phoenix, AZ, or the whole state of Arizona really, is hard water. The levels of these minerals in the water can exceed 20 grains per gallon. In simpler terms, that's a lot of calcium and magnesium to have in your water.

But still, this hard water is not particularly a danger to your health. The thing about hard water is that it makes life difficult for you by damaging your appliances and other belongings. It can cause scale to build up in pipes and appliances like dishwasher and water heaters, significantly shortening their lifespan.

So people use different water treatments in Phoenix to soften the hard water. When you are choosing a water softening system, you will likely hear many myths about converting hard water into soft water.

Myth or Fact

1. Water can be softened with a salt-less system. This is just a story; it is impossible to soften hard water with a salt-free system. Systems that are salt-free don't really soften the water, they can make it taste better and lessen the scale buildup.
2. Calcium and magnesium are good for your body, so why remove them. It is true that both these minerals are beneficial for a human body; but not in the form they are present in hard water. Your digestive system cannot process the minerals present in hard water.
3. You are cleaner when you shower with soft water. This is a fact, the soaps and shampoos don't lather as well with hard water. Your skin is not cleaned properly and the natural oils don't reach the surface of the skin.
4. A purification system that uses reverse osmosis can remove the essential minerals from the water. This story is a work of fiction; water filtered through reverse osmosis is as healthy as water filtered from any other system.
5. There is an acidic presence in water filtered by distiller. This is true but there is no need to be alarmed. The acid in question is created because of the presence of carbon dioxide and it only exists in minute quantities. It will not harm you or any of your appliances.

Most of the myths people believe are based on untrue information, it is essential that you know all the facts. Then you can buy the water treatment system that suits you, to soften the hard water.
