The Inland Northwest Has Very Hard Water
Prevent Hard Water Damage
Water over 7gpg (“grains per gallon”) is considered hard water by the USGS. The water supply in the Spokane area is 13gpg – nearly twice as bad as what’s considered soft water. Hard water leaves signs of calcium and magnesium buildup (aka limescale). If you notice a white film building up around fixtures, on shower walls, sinks, or any other area where water is regularly present, you have hard water. Hard water is not just an aesthetic nuisance; it can damage or decrease the performance of your water heater, shower head, faucets, fixtures, appliances, boilers, and more.
The good news is that Platinum Rooter & Plumbing has the best salt-free water filtration system, which will protect your home and prevent limescale from damaging your system and creating an unsightly mess.
