5 signs your water is damaging your appliances (and what to do about it)

You might not see it happening—but your water could be silently wrecking your most expensive appliances.

In Houston, hard water and chlorine aren’t just bad for your skin and hair—they’re tough on anything with a water line. That includes dishwashers, washing machines, water heaters, and even your coffee maker.

Here are 5 signs your water is hurting your appliances:

  • White, chalky buildup on faucets or fixtures

  • Spots on clean dishes after washing

  • Your water heater runs out of hot water faster than it used to

  • Clothes come out stiff or scratchy from the wash

  • Your appliances break down sooner than expected

Mineral buildup clogs lines, reduces efficiency, and shortens the lifespan of the machines you use every day.

But there’s a simple fix: a whole-home water softener or filtration system from Environmental ProTech. Our systems are custom-built for Houston’s hard water and can extend the life of your appliances while making your home feel cleaner and more efficient.
