Tips on Removing Hard Water From Your Home
Following is an explanation on the kinds of water softeners that can be used to reduce the effect of hard water round the home...including the arguments of each and the potential health problems that arise.
Chemical Water Softeners
This is when explicit chemicals are added to the water to manipulate water toughness.
The kinds of chemical that can be used include washing soda and borax. These chemicals form an insoluble lead to with calcium and magnesium minerals in the water. The mineral ions then can't meddle with cleaning potency, but the lead to makes the water cloudy and can build up on surfaces. The downside of precipitating water softeners is they can increase the alkalinity of the water and this could damage skin and other materials being cleaned.
If employed in enough quantity, non-precipitating water softeners will help melt soap scum for a period.
Mechanical Water Softeners
These are devices that can be permanently installed into the plumbing system to steadily remove calcium and magnesium.
They operate on the ion exchange process in which water passes through a media bed, customarily with resin beads that are supersaturated with sodium. The ion exchange process happens as hard water passes through the softening material. The hardness minerals are collected by the beads while at the same time the sodium on the resin beads is released into the water. The recharging is done by passing a salt solution through the beads.
As explained above, hard water treated with an ion exchange water softener has sodium added. The ion exchange softening process adds sodium at the rate of about eight mg/liter for each grain of hardness removed per gallon of water. For instance, if the water has a hardness of 10 grains per gallon, it will contain about eighty mg/liter of sodium after being fell in an ion exchange water softener if all hardness minerals are removed. The addition of sodium to the water in such cases is probably an argument to folks with raised blood pressure and some individuals could be counseled by their doctor not to install water softeners which use this method. In this case it may be recommended to soften just the hot water, or perhaps to go around the water softener with a cold water pipe to provide unsoftened water that may be used for drinking and cooking.
