Water Fall
Hard Water Stains Explained
Hard water contains dissolved calcium and magnesium ions. Commonly referred to as “hardness minerals,” dissolved calcium and magnesium can cause numerous problems when present in a water supply.
As water falls from the sky in its various forms, it absorbs carbon dioxide in the air and becomes slightly acidic. Water in this weak acid state reaches and enters the ground. Since it is acidic, it absorbs calcium and magnesium, among other things, from the layers of rock through which it passes.
The minerals neutralize the waters acidity but also make it hard. Then the water finds its way into larger bodies of water both above and below ground, and eventually into our homes.
Water hardness is typically measured in “parts per million,” an indication of the quantity of dissolved calcium and magnesium the water contains. In amounts as small as one part per million, water is classified as “hard” to a certain degree. Most homes use water that is considerably harder.
While many families choose to soften their water by removing the calcium and magnesium with home water treatment equipment, many don’t even realise they have it in the first instance, however there are some easy ways to prevent it.
Facts:
Studies indicate that 85% of US homes and 60% of homes in the UK are supplied with hard water. Hard water costs you money, causes soap scum and scale, and reduces the efficiency of water-using appliances. Hard water deposits occur when the water evaporates leaving behind the mineral deposits causing unsightly stains around taps, faucets, sinks, showerheads, tiles and on carpets.
