Nutrient pollution can affect vital ground water and drinking water sources. Lakes, rivers and streams, provide drinking water for about 170 million people in the United States, and even more depend on it for plumbing, showering, cleaning and cooking. Ground water is water that soaks into the soil and into the water table, and close to 90 million people rely on ground water as a drinking water supply. As ground water works its way through the soil, it can pick up nitrogen and phosphorus and transport them to the water table. This polluted water then can reach public drinking water systems and private wells, where it can pose serious public health threats.
Contaminants are not the only thing that water picks up as it moves through the aquifer, in many cases water will pick up natural occurring minerals found in the earth. Of these minerals, two are particularly important to pay attention to, magnesium and calcium. These two minerals are what make our water hard and effect its ability to function in our homes.
Hard Water is the culprit behind several common issues in our homes. It’s the reason our soaps and detergent lose some of their effectiveness. Instead of our soaps and detergents dissolving completely, they combine with the minerals in the hard water and form a coagulated soap curd. And since there is less soap being dissolved, we have to use even more soap to achieve the desired effect which costs us more money and contributes to more plastic and chemicals in our environment. These insoluble soap curds also stick to our skin and can actually hinder cleansing and cause washed hair to seem dull and lifeless.
These same sticky soap curds can attach to our clothes fabric as they’re being washed and can actually trap dirt into the fibers, causing the clothing fibers to fade and becoming rough and stiff. Insoluble soap deposits will also leave spots on everything you wash. You will find hard water spots on dishes you just washed and dried, your newly washed sports car or the soap scum and film build up in your shower.
These calcium and magnesium deposits can also effect your homes plumbing system. These deposits will build up in your piping, reducing water flow to taps and appliances and eventually these minerals will generate a scale build up, reducing the efficiency of the heating elements in our homes water heater. This build up will reduce its overall life and increases the amount of electricity needed to heat our water to the desired temperature, resulting in higher electric bills and more money out of our wallets.
