What Is Hard Water?
Hard water is classified as water that has a high mineral content, mainly calcium and magnesium ions and can also include iron, manganese, sodium and other dissolved compounds such as bicarbonates and sulfates.
With increased mineral content hard water problems include;
-Scaling of pipes and associated equipment.
-Spotting on dishes, shower doors, cars, motorbikes.
-Soap scum in sinks and bathtubs.
-Scum rings in bath tubs, swimming pools and spas.
-Reduced foaming and cleaning abilities of soaps and detergents.
-Dingy and yellowed laundry with soapy residues that require extra rinsing.
-Increased water heating costs from a buildup of minerals on heating elements in hot water systems, dish washers, kettles reducing their efficiencies.
-Possible skin infections from bacteria trapped in pores under soap scum.
