It’s simply water with an excess mineral content, usually calcium or magnesium, which can be absorbed harmlessly in the human body (as well as the bodies of pets and livestock).

We live in a rural part of the state, which means that many homes in the area operate off of the civic water and electrical systems. Instead, they get their water from private wells and other sources. It’s a practical necessity – you can’t simply run piping thirty miles to a single home – and usually works quite well for meeting your home water needs. Private wells do mean you need to keep them maintained yourself, however, and in those circumstances, a good plumber can be your best friend.

Many homeowners and ranch owners in our area use water that comes straight from a well. Well water is just as healthy as municipal water, and some people prefer it over municipal water because they don’t like some of the treatment additives that are in municipal water. One of the reasons municipal water is treated is to reduce the effects of high mineralization. As water travels over rocks and through the ground, it picks up mineral ions. These ions are fine for you and me, but when highly mineralized water runs through your plumbing, the mineral ions can attach to the pipes and water outlets, forming a hard, white crust known as scale. When enough scale builds up in your pipes, around your faucets and on your shower heads, the water flow can become restricted, causing systemic problems.
