Why does my water leave a Whitish Scale Deposit?

If your water leaves whitish scale deposits you have Hard Water and possibly a very high Total Dissolved Solids count.

Hard Water is caused when the water dissolves limestone and magnesium salts from deposits in the earths surface.

Hard Water consumes soap and makes cleaning more difficult, Leaves a soap scum residue, and whitish scale deposits.

The Total Dissolved Solids count in your water can be the result of the water picking up lots of contaminants from underground deposits such as hardness minerals or due to the intrusion of brackish water on the water supply.

If your water has a metallic taste it may be contaminated with Aluminum, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Zinc, or Corrosivity.

All the metals can be found in natural deposits in the earth and can also leech into your water from the plumbing.

Corrosivity can be the result of Very Low or Very High Total Dissolved Solids in the water, Low pH. Dissolved gases such as Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and Hydrogen Sulfide may also be the culprit.
