In addition to our excellent air quality and mold testing services here at Integral Choice Corp., we also offer several water testing services to help you improve your health. These include water inspections and fecal coliform water testing. However, not all the water services we provide address health concerns. Water quality is more nuanced than just making sure your water is safe to drink and use; water hardness is something to think about too.
Water hardness refers to the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in your water. The higher the mineral content, the greater your water hardness. While hard water is not dangerous, it’s usually better to have soft water in your home. Water hardness testing can tell you whether it’s worth it to get a water softener and enjoy the following benefits:
- Softer Hair and Skin- The minerals in hard water can remove natural oils, drying out your hair and skin. However, soft waster makes it easier for your skin and hair to hold moisture, and it can balance your hair’s pH level too.
- Cleaner Plumbing Fixtures- Hard water stains and mineral deposits can be a pain to clean, and they can also wear down your faucets and other plumbing fixtures faster. However, water hardness testing can help you determine whether you need to prevent these problems now.
- Brighter Clothing- Hard water can leave mineral deposits that leave your clothing looking faded and dull after you wash it, but soft water ensures that your clothing remains brighter longer.
There are more benefits where these came from, but ultimately you need to get water hardness testing before you know if you even have hard water. If you need water hardness testing in the Orlando, Florida area, give us a call today.
