Hardness can be a problem in public water supplies. Metal ions react with soaps and calcium-sensitive detergents, hindering their ability to lather and forming a precipitate. Hardness ions also inhibit the cleaning effect of detergents. Calcium and magnesium carbonates can adhere to the surfaces of pipes and heat exchanger surfaces resulting in a  build-up of scale that may  restrict water flow.
