Did you know that the ground beneath us is responsible for polluting rain water
before it settles into our underground aquifers?  Fresh rain water is one of the most naturally
corrosive substances on earth.  It also picks up or accumulates many other contaminants, like
pesticides and herbicides, on its way to underground water tables.

Water becomes hard thru a natural ecological process which involves rain water percolating
down thru the soil and bedrock layers beneath our homes.  As this water travels downward,
eventually making its way into underground water tables, the water dissolves limestone and
magnesium metals along the way.  In solution form, these heavy metals are then pumped up
from underground aquifers, and shipped from our local wells directly to our homes.  Our M.U.D.'s
(municipal utility districts) are not equipped or required to remove these naturally occurring heavy
metals from the water. 

What hard water does to new and existing homes is well known.  When hard water dries on
fixtures, kitchen sinks, shower doors, countertops, utensils and dishware, it leaves a crusty
deposit of calcium carbonate.  In the form of a circular shaped water spot, these stains ruin
the appearance fixtures.  Left unchecked, tiny etch marks begin to cut into
these surfaces and the eventual build-up becomes so intense, that absolutely no amount of
cleaning will remove them.  Typically, most homeowners are forced to replace their fixtures
altogether in an effort to preserve their homes overall market value.
