Hard Water in Corpus Christi: What It Does to Your Pipes and Fixtures

Hard Water in Corpus Christi: What It Does to Your Pipes and Fixtures

If you've noticed white crust on faucets, spotty dishes or a shower head that sputters, you've met Corpus Christi's hard water. Dissolved calcium and magnesium leave scale behind wherever water sits or gets heated.

Scale isn't a health concern, but over time it narrows pipes, clogs aerators and valves, and coats the inside of water heaters and tankless heat exchangers.

A tankless heater that is never descaled can lose efficiency fast in hard water areas.
