I have a well and I have HARD water. This has been a known fact for a long time.
Lately the hot water heater has not been working right. It is actually rented from the power company and they maintain it. I called and they sent a plumber out.
The plumber said it need new elements. It took him over an hour (not on my dime
) to remove the bottom element. It had a slight bit of calcium build up around the element.
The pictures really do not do it justice but i put my cell phone in for reference. This stuff is as hard as plaster! I could not believe how much he dug out!
The plumber said the tank will probably need to be replaced this summer and made a note of it.
