There are more homes with hard water than you’d expect. Nearly 90% of the houses in the U.S. alone have hard water. It’s a common problem, but many homes don’t come with water softeners.

We've compiled some of the best tips and tricks to living with hard water. Let's dive into hard water and how you can deal with it.

Water contains minerals and chemicals. It's the concentration of certain minerals that determine the "hardness" of the water.

Primarily, calcium and magnesium determine your water's hardness. Higher levels increase the hardness.

Health-wise there are no serious adverse health problems associated with drinking hard water. Yet, some people with certain sensitivities can notice issues with hard water.

• Sensitive skin conditions may be more difficult to manage.
   
• Dry hair can be made worse with hard water and even lead to hair loss over time.
   
• Hard water can cause staining of the teeth, much the same way as many food and beverages do.
   
• Long-term consumption of hard water can affect other health issues, although the details are still a matter of debate among experts.

• If your water is hard, you may need to rinse your hands longer. Soap reacts to calcium and forms soap scum.
   
• You find spots on your glasses and silverware when you take them out of the dishwasher due to deposits of calcium carbonate.
   
• Your clothes get mineral stains on them from the washer. (Hard water tends to wear them out faster too.)
   
• If hard water is causing mineral deposits to build up in the pipes, you may notice less water pressure in your home.
