Hard Water Accelerates Appliance Wear in DFW Area; Free Testing Offered
Quinlan-based Military Plumbing warns that hard water is causing appliances in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area to deteriorate 30-50% faster than normal, leading to premature replacements and higher energy bills. The company is offering free water quality testing to homeowners and businesses throughout Northeast Texas and the greater Metroplex.
Impact of Hard Water on Appliances
The DFW region ranks among the top 10 hardest water areas in the United States, with mineral content measuring 140-180+ parts per million (PPM). This high mineral concentration leads to significant damage to household plumbing and appliances. Hard water mineral buildup reduces water heater efficiency by 20-40% and shortens appliance lifespan by 30-50%. For instance, a water heater that should last 12 years might only last 6 or 7 years in this area.
Signs of Hard Water
Homeowners may notice several indicators of hard water, including:
- White crusty buildup on faucets
- Soap scum that won’t wash away
- Dry skin and brittle hair after showering
- Spots on dishes despite using rinse aids

This allows technicians to recommend appropriate solutions based on each home’s unique water profile.
