Hamilton's water sits in the moderately-hard range, and it quietly damages your fixtures, water heater, and appliances.
How hard is Hamilton water?
Hamilton's supply averages 7-8 grains per gallon, well into the moderate-to-hard range. That mineral content deposits scale on every heated surface in your home.
What you're paying for it
Water heaters scale up and lose efficiency, sometimes cutting lifespan in half. Dishwashers and washing machines wear faster. Faucets and shower heads clog.
Softeners pay for themselves in most Hamilton homes inside 5-7 years just on appliance and energy savings.
