Hard, Poor-Quality Water
Dissolved iron and other hard minerals are absorbed during the filtration and treatment process, as well as along water's journey from source to tap. These absorbed minerals and metals cause the water to become hard and its quality depleted. Some household headaches associated with using hard water include:
Clogged appliances that lead to water-flow issues
Hard-to-clean residue and buildup on appliances, hardware, and surfaces
Soap scum on showers, bathtubs, and sinks
Prematurely aged clothing and linens that are rough to the touch
Limescale Buildup
Limescale is a hard, off-white buildup that can be found on surfaces, appliances, and fixtures due to mineral deposits in hard water. Signs that you're dealing with limescale include:
Buildup on fixtures, sinks, and tubs
Clogged faucets and showerheads
Rings around tubs and sinks
Chalky deposits on kettles, pots, and pans

Stains or Discolored Water
As water travels, it picks up deposits from minerals, like iron, which can tint water a reddish-brown. Old pipes and plumbing systems can also turn water a different shade. Some headaches associated with using discolored water throughout the house include:
Laundry that comes out of the wash looking soiled
Murky drinking water
A dark tint to bath and shower water
Dark streaks on windows and glass
