Does anywhere not have hard water?
Architect here. If you own a house and have the means, highly recommend a Water Softening System, especially in the dark blue and red areas. It’ll extend the life of your plumbing fixtures and pipes and softer water makes soap lather better so doing dishes and taking showers will be easier.
So Utahns drink bricks or ?
What about the water in my tap that comes from Lake Huron? Is this just talking about ground water?
I’ll show you my hard water
Fun fact: water turns into hard water at 0°C
Where is the “soft water”? I can assure you there are multiple areas on that map where the only “hard” water is found in freezers. As in 4-8 ppm soft. Slightly hard is 17-60 ppm and there are swaths of the country which are in the <17 ppm range.
I remember taking a shower in Madison WI and having a bad time lol
Then why do I get lime and hard water buildup like fucking crazy in Georgia
Rock hard here in mid Michigan
NYC’s system is just right. It’s soft enough that all soaps work into a rich sumptuous lather.
It should be obvious without looking into the source, but this map is intended to sell you water softeners.
It’s part of an article about water softeners on a site that aggregates (among many other things) water softener installation options. I counted a half dozen links in the „article“ that direct the reader toward paying for a water softener.
It should not be taken seriously.
What does it mean for water to be hard. Isn’t that just ice?
i hate this color coding of the map.
I’m living in dark red for the first time in my life, and it’s surprisingly annoying, impactful, and expensive. It’s really my only complaint here, but damn it keeps sneaking up on me!
Map is a bit off. The water around Houston is super hard. I have stalactites growing out of my faucets here.
Even in the „soft“ water areas, it’s highly dependent on a variety of factors. Not everyone receives the same or similar water unless you’re connected to city water.
Drilled wells vary wildly place to place, town to town.
I see why they call it the rust belt
Stay hard
Utah goes hard.
Areas directly adjacent to the Great Lakes should be light blue. Most of those communities use lake water, which isn’t very hard at all. All of Chicago and communities up to ~65 miles inland use lake water.
A friend told me back in the 60s that the water was why San Francisco girls could grow long hippie hair while Los Angeles girls couldn’t. This map bears that out.
What does that mean
This map is a lie
So clearly hard water drinkers vote Republican! What happens if we give out free water softener’s?
