Water hardness refers to the amount of calcium and magnesium in your water.

Houston water typically falls into the moderately hard to very hard range, depending on location.

Hardness is measured in grains per gallon or parts per million. The higher the number, the more mineral content your water contains.

Signs of hard water include scale on faucets, cloudy glassware, soap that doesn’t rinse clean, dry skin, and stiff laundry.

While these symptoms are common, testing is the only way to confirm hardness levels.

Professional water testing provides precise measurements and helps determine whether a water softener would be beneficial.

Environmental ProTech uses precise testing to measure hardness accurately and explain what those numbers actually mean for your home.
