Water with excessive hard-mineral content, called hard water, can be tough on skin and hair, create deposits in water supply pipes and water-using appliances, and may not rinse properly from dishes and laundry. Unfortunately, hard water is very common in many regions.
To address the problems of hard water in your home, you may choose to install a water softener. What type should you buy? How large should it be? Where will you locate it? What should you expect in terms of its effectiveness?
The articles in this section of HomeTips take a close look at the issue of hard water and offer insights into what you can do to solve it. They will help you determine how hard your water is, explore the various types of water softeners on the market, and make a decision about the right water softener for your needs.

From the President
Dear Home Owner,
Our homes are one of the most important investments in our lives. Sometimes it can also be the most challenging to maintain, cost effectively.
Hydro Solutions is here to help. The cost to provide the necessary water to our landscape can be a major portion of the monthly expense of a home. Whether the home is a winter escape or your year round residence, your investment must be protected. Hydro Solutions years of experience and know how in the areas of well drilling, irrigation and water treatment allows us the ability to offer you a cost effective alternative to using your city water for your irrigation needs.
As you are well aware, the cost of city water is expensive. While you may wish to use it for your drinking water needs, there is nothing that says you need to keep paying a premium dollar for your irrigation needs.
The typical medium sized home can save up to 75% on their monthly water bill by switching their irrigation water source to a well system. The system is simple, can be in a discrete location on your property and typically requires no regularly scheduled maintenance. From our experience the Return on Investment is so impressive, that you would see a full return on your money within 12 to 18 months.
If you have any questions at all regarding your homes water needs, we can surely be of assistance. Call us at 561.948.0333 for more information or visit www.myhydrosolutions.com.
Sincerely,
John W. Tague III
President

Water Conservation
WHY CONSERVE?
Water conservation is the most cost-effective and environmentally sound way to reduce our demand for water. This stretches our supplies farther, and protects places like Mono Lake. For example, the city of Los Angeles has grown by 1 million people since the 1970s, but still uses the same amount of water. Using less water also puts less pressure on our sewage treatment facilities, and uses less energy for water heating.
Saving water also saves energy. 6.5% of the energy used in the state of California is for pumping and treating water--in fact, pumping water south (and uphill) in the State Water Project accounts for 2-3% of all the electricity used in the state. And for your personal energy bill, using less hot water saves on water heating. On the flip side, saving energy and using alternative energy saves water--electricity production from fossil fuels and nuclear energy is responsible for 39% of all freshwater withdrawals in the nation.

Scientists warn California could be struck by winter ‘superstorm’
A group of more than 100 scientists and experts say in a new report that California faces the risk of a massive "superstorm" that could flood a quarter of the state's homes and cause $300 billion to $400 billion in damage. Researchers point out that the potential scale of destruction in this storm scenario is four or five times the amount of damage that could be wrought by a major earthquake.

Desalination: Unlocking Lessons from Yesterday’s Solution
Guest Post by Debbie Cook, former mayor of Huntington Beach, California.
There is powerful information waiting to be unleashed in water data. If it were set free it would force us to re-think how we use, develop, sell, transfer, and dispose of water. Rather than focusing on the miles per gallon our cars get, we might consider how much water per mile we get from that fuel. Rather than arguing over how much energy is being used to produce water, we would give credit to how much water is required to produce energy. Rather than focusing on whether our food is grown locally, we would consider how much water it took to grow that food in our locality.

Water Shortage in West Palm Beach
Did you know rainfall is our region's primary source for replenishing our limited freshwater supply? Because 2010 rainfall amounts were far below average, ground (wellfields and aquifers) and surface (lakes, rivers and canals) water levels are low. Long-term weather forecasts for 2011 envision continuing below-average rainfall leading to great strains on water supplies. With at least five months of the dry season still ahead, water conservation is increasingly critical.
