WATER: HARM AND BENEFIT
Hard water is a very common problem for both residents of apartments and private houses. The degree of hardness may vary depending on the presence of calcium and magnesium salts in the unit of measurement of water and is indicated by milligrams.
In some cases, the level of water hardness does not matter. In particular, this applies to water used for watering the garden, extinguishing fires, cleaning house territories, streets, etc. But in many domestic and industrial uses of water, its hardness can become a serious problem: when using household appliances, taking a bath and shower, during washing, cooking.
Water softening in home and industrial conditions
The easiest way to soften water of increased hardness in domestic conditions for many years is boiling. As a result, calcium bicarbonate breaks down into precipitation and carbon dioxide. The classic way to soften water for household work is to use soda ash, dissolved in the right amount in water.
Reagent methods of water softening based on the dissolution of calcium salts into the simplest compounds (sediment) by adding soda or slaked lime are common at municipal water treatment stations. This technique is characterized by certain disadvantages, in particular, a significant amount of solid waste and the importance of accurate dosing of chemicals.
