Most likely, all the extra minerals in your water are to blame. Because of those minerals, your water becomes "hard," and you are unable to create suds or a lather. The extra minerals can leave a residue on your clothing, in your sinks, and on your dishes, glassware, and utensils. Additionally, you might find that your skin is drier and more sensitive and that your hair appears lifeless and drab. Due to the scaling it causes, hard water can also harm your water heater, pipes, and fixtures. Iron may also be present and harm you by discoloring your clothing or sinks. Additionally, too much iron can clog drains and make your meals and beverages look and/or smell terrible.
