Here is a map put out by the US Geological Survey about the water hardness in different parts of the U.S. CLICK HERE TO GO TO whirlcool's LINK | ||

And here is a map what kind of levels you have in the U.S. You can select PH factor, Turbidity, etc. CLICK HERE TO GO TO whirlcool's LINK | ||

Soft Water?
The map showed this area to have very soft water? I dont think so. My well water is so hard it corodes anything metal and leaves stains on all the fixtures. I have to use a water softner with the iron remover salt and then tap water tastes like its from the ocean. There is so much granite in the earth here that leaches everything from iron down to radon into the soil. Some neighbors have good well water, but I must be on a bad vein. I have been toying with the idea of just pumping it from the lake in front of my house, which is very soft.

Hmmm
That map makes Lexington-Fayette water look moderately hard I suppose, which it is. I do not know anyone personally that has a water softener here; though I'm sure there are people who have them. I don't have one. I do know if I use a humidifier it clogs and faucets collect minerals after a while and there is never a single SUD or bubble in the wash. | ||
