The Hard Truth About Perth’s Water: Calcium Stains and Solutions

Posted on by WAWF Admin

Are you tired of those pesky calcium stains that seem to appear everywhere in your Perth home? From your faucets and showerheads to your dishes and glassware, these stubborn stains can be a constant source of frustration.

Hard Water Stains around the house

The culprit behind these calcium stains is none other than the hardness of Perth’s tap water. The water in Perth is naturally rich in minerals like calcium and magnesium, which are responsible for the hardness of the water. When this water is heated or evaporates, it leaves behind mineral deposits, creating those unsightly stains on your fixtures and dishes.

Note: Perth water hardness vary from 121 to 180 mg/L, which is classified as hard; and in some places more than 180 mg/L, which is classified as very hard. Normal levels of hardness range from 0 to 60 mg/L.

So, what’s the solution to this common problem? The answer lies in a real salt-based water softener. Unlike other quick fixes that claim to eliminate calcium stains, a water softener is the most effective and long-lasting solution.

A water softener works by exchanging the calcium and magnesium ions in your water with sodium ions, effectively softening the water. This means you’ll not only say goodbye to those stubborn stains, but you’ll also enjoy numerous other benefits:

  1. Cleaner and Brighter Clothes: Soft water is gentle on your fabrics, resulting in cleaner and brighter laundry.
  2. Longer Appliance Life: Appliances like water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines will last longer without the buildup of mineral deposits.
  3. Softer Skin and Hair: Soft water is gentler on your skin and hair, leaving you feeling refreshed after every shower.
  4. Reduced Soap and Detergent Usage: With soft water, you’ll need less soap and detergent for cleaning, saving you money in the long run.

Don’t let the hardness of Perth’s water continue to cause you frustration. Invest in a real salt-based water softener to enjoy the benefits of truly soft water and say goodbye to those stubborn calcium stains for good. Your home and your peace of mind will thank you.
