How to Treat Hard Water in Your House

by Karen K. Content Strategist
Hard water is that water which has above average mineral content. This characteristically means calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg). Elevated amounts of dissolved calcium and magnesium in water constrict the water’s ability to dissolve other materials, such as soap.

Hard water can also result in clogged pipes due to greater than before limescale build-ups. Limescale build-ups render heating less effective and create more wear and tear on pipes and water reliant household machineries, such as dishwashers and washing machines.

Rock salt is without a doubt the least costly technique accessible but you'll often have to clean your water softening system for the reason that it is by far the dirtiest option. Solar salt is a bit in between. While evaporated salt is the most efficient and cleanest method and also the most expensive one. If the water is harder and necessitates more salt usage, evaporated salt is suggested. While it is not harmful to combine these salts, it is smarter to use just one type of water softening salt at a time to avert clogging.

Usually, your water softener device will advise a particular type of water softening salt, and you should keep this in heavy concern when picking the type of salt. In addition, keep in mind that if you bring into play rock salt you'll almost certainly have to clean up at least thrice a year to make sure your water softening system is performing satisfactorily. It is imperative to point out that hard water or even soft water does not in any way become undrinkable, it will only have an effect on your plumbing.

Lastly, if you are on a stringent low sodium diet you may want to talk to your doctor and/or water softener manufacturer to find a better solution.
