Water that's too hard or too soft could damage pipes and lead to health and aesthetic concerns. When you turn on your faucet to get a glass of water or wash your face, you're probably not thinking about what's in your water - besides water. Depending on where you live and whether you have a water-softening system, your water might contain dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium. And these minerals can play a role in whether certain pollutants such as lead stay out of your water.
