June 22nd, 2009Categories: Georgia Mountain Home Tips

 

Water high in mineral content — specifically calcium and magnesium — is more commonly known as “hard water“.

There’s no negative link between hard water and human health, but hard water has been known to mess with a homeowner’s penchant for cleanliness.  Over time, mineral deposits can collect and “stain” anywhere that there’s running water.

In the home, hard water stains are most commonly found in bathrooms.

In this 2-minute video from Rachel Yatuzis, we see the Hard Water Stain Remedy in action.  It doesn’t take much time, or even much effort.  Removing the stains can be as simple as mixing lemon juice, vinegar, and baking soda.

 However, the ban does not apply to most of the mountain area of north Georgia. Why??

Most visitors are unaware that residents of the mountain areas in Georgia obtain their water from wells. We rely on the water table to supply us with water. Even though there may not be a government-issued watering ban, in times of drought wells can also be affected.
