Hard water is one of the most widely misunderstood topics in home and commercial water management.

The real concern with hard water is its long-term effect on pipes, appliances, and pump equipment.

Did you know that the first practical centrifugal pump was developed in the late 1600s? Denis Papin, a French inventor, is credited with the early concept, but it took nearly two centuries before centrifugal pumps became widely used in industrial applications. Modern versions of that same basic principle now move billions of gallons of water every single day worldwide.

It is fascinating how much geography shapes everyday water systems.
