Water Softeners
While water is in the ground, it picks up soluble bits of
whatever it passes through. While this can mean
contamination that makes the water unfit to drink, in many
cases it simply means that the water contains minerals
found in the earth. Of these, calcium and magnesium are of
particular importance because they affect the water's
ability to function in our homes. These minerals make our
water hard.
One effect of hard water is that soaps and detergents lose
some effectiveness. Instead of dissolving completely, soap
combines with the minerals to form a coagulated soap
curd. Because less soap is dissolved, more is required.
And the sticky insoluble curd hangs around--it clings to the
skin and may actually inhibit cleansing. Washed hair
seems dull and lifeless.
In addition to affecting the actual washing process,
insoluble soap deposits leave spots on everything you
wash--from your dishes to the family car--and a soap film
will build up in your bath and shower.
Another reason to be concerned about hard water is its
effect on your plumbing system. Calcium and magnesium
deposits can build up in pipes, reducing flow to taps and
appliances. In water heaters, these minerals generate a
scale buildup that reduces the efficiency and life of the
heater.
