🌊 The Hidden Impact of Water Quality
Many homeowners in Victoria don’t realize how much water quality affects their plumbing. Hard water, minerals, and impurities can:
- Damage pipes and fixtures
- Shorten appliance lifespan
- Reduce water pressure
- Lead to costly repairs
Understanding your water quality helps you protect your home’s plumbing system.
🧪 Hard Water Problems
Victoria has areas with moderate mineral content in the water. Hard water:
✅ Leaves chalky deposits (limescale)
✅ Clogs pipes and faucets
✅ Reduces efficiency of water heaters
✅ Causes soap scum and dry skin
Over time, scale buildup narrows pipes and reduces water flow.
🚰 Corrosion Risks
Water with high acidity or certain mineral balances can:
- Corrode copper pipes
- Create pinhole leaks
- Stain fixtures
Corrosion leads to leaks and water damage — expensive problems if left unchecked.
