Do I Need to Use a Water Softener in West Des Moines?

You probably don't need a water softener right away. West Des Moines tap water is rated “moderately hard” (100 to 130 mg/L), drawn from Raccoon River alluvial wells centrally treated with reverse osmosis. Most local households get by comfortably without one. However, if you start seeing cloudy glassware, stiff laundry, or crusty mineral buildup on your fixtures, a softening system is worth considering to protect your appliances. We suggest checking for signs of hard water or waiting a few weeks after move-in before making the investment. How to tell if you have hard water.
