Is Well Water Hard Water?

There is no definite answer to whether your well has soft or hard water. This is because it can differ from well to well depending on its location and what the mineral composition of the soil and bedrock is like.

However, you can usually assume that if the area surrounding the well is brimming in minerals such as magnesium and calcium then the water will be too.

This is because these types of minerals tend to attach to the hydrogen and the oxygen molecules that you’ll find in the water. The more minerals in your water, the harder it tends to be.

The hardness of your water can impact its quality, so throughout this article, we will go into further detail as to how you determine whether the water in your well is hard or soft.
