What’s Your Water Score?

Do you ever feel like your water just isn’t…right? Like it leaves behind stubborn stains, doesn’t let soap lather properly or leaves crusty buildup around faucets and showerheads? If so, you might be dealing with hard water!

American Water has a neat little tool that can help you figure it out. Just answer some simple questions about what you’re experiencing with your water. Based on your responses, you’ll learn whether hard water is the likely culprit behind those pesky issues. From there, you can look into solutions like water softeners to get that water flowing clean and fresh again!

Extremely/Very Hard Water

Four colored bars with numbers 10, 20, 30, and 40 in a gradient from yellow to orange.
  • Every time you look at your faucets or appliances, it’s like they’re wearing a thick, chalky coat.
  • After a shower, your skin feels tight and your hair has totally lost its luscious softness. Not a good look.
  • Cleaning your shower is basically a full-time job – that filmy build up won’t go away!
  • It seems like every other day, something’s clogged up and the water pressure has taken a serious nosedive.
  • No matter what you do, your clothes come out of the wash feeling crunchy and just…blah.
  • You could squeegee your dishes till you’re blue in the face and they’d still look streaky and spotty.

Moderately Hard Water

Four colored bars with numbers 50, 60, 70, and 80 in a gradient from red to purple.
  • Trying to work up a decent lather is an uphill battle. You’re going through soap like crazy these days!
  • Yikes, what’s with those weird chalky rings popping up in your tub and around the faucets?
  • Your sink has the slowest drain around. And what’s with all the constant clogs?
  • Your skin is feeling dry as a bone lately, and you’re practically bathing in moisturizer to compensate.
  • Some of your clothes just don’t feel as heavenly soft as they used to after washing.

Soft Water

Two colored bars with numbers 90 and 100 in a gradient from light blue to darker blue.
  • After doing the dishes, your glassware gleams beautifully without a single pesky water spot.
  • Your appliances and faucets are doing their job awesomely without any crusty mineral buildup slowing them down.
  • Showers are a true delight – your skin feels like silk and your hair has the most luscious bounce.
  • You can run the taps with reckless abandon and never worry about crummy water pressure or clogged pipes.

Hard Water In Round Rock, TX

Map of Texas showing water hardness levels with colors indicating slightly hard water, moderately hard water, hard water, and very hard water

Those of us living in Round Rock certainly have to deal with some pretty severe hard water issues. It just comes with the territory of residing in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.

The water supply that reaches our homes passes through layers of limestone, where it picks up high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium along the way. By the time it arrives, it has become supremely “hard” water.

Our local hardness levels regularly exceed 15 grains per gallon, which qualifies as extremely hard by most standards. But don’t despair! While hard water is simply a fact of life here, it doesn’t have to be a constant struggle. Solutions like water softeners can help treat the excessive hardness. Reach out to American Water today to start reclaiming your comfort with soft water solutions!
