The average American family pays well over $2,000. a year for hard water. Hard water is available in 85 percent of American homes.

Hard water is formed when water has too much calcium and magnesium. This happens because the water absorbs these minerals from rock and sediment before it enters your home. Harder water is caused by higher levels of these dissolved minerals. Hard water can reduce the effectiveness and lifespan of appliances, increase energy consumption, cause dingy dishes, and damage skin and hair.

The water hardness test strips are one of the most affordable and easiest ways to test your home for hardness. Nature’s Own Water Care has a free kit that measures how hard water is per gallon. After hard water has been confirmed, it is possible to remove calcium and magnesium from the water by using a water softener that is regularly regenerated with Nature’s Own water care products.

Nature’s Own converts water conditioning to water care. It replaces traditional water conditioning products with a mixture of high-grade, pure elements that will restore the water in your home back to its original state of purity.
