Hard drinking water may have moderate health benefits, but can pose serious problems in industrial settings, where water hardness is monitored to avoid costly breakdowns in boilers, cooling towers, and other equipment that handles water. In domestic settings, hard water is often indicated by a lack of suds formation when soap is agitated in water, and by the formation of limescale in kettles and water heaters. Wherever water hardness is a concern, water softening is commonly used to reduce hard water's adverse effects.
Sources of hardness
Water's hardness is determined by the concentration of multivalentcations in the water. Multivalent cations are positively charged metal complexes with a charge greater than 1+. Usually, the cations have the charge of 2+. Common cations found in hard water include Ca2+ and Mg2+. These ions enter a water supply by leaching from minerals within an aquifer. Common calcium-containing minerals are calcite and gypsum. A common magnesium mineral is dolomite (which also contains calcium). Rainwater and distilled water are soft, because they contain few ions.

There are 3 easy and cost-effective ways you can test for hard water in your home. We explain the methods so you know if you have hard water.
(0:12) The first method is to go online and check with your city. They provide an annual Water Quality Report that is available for anybody to read. They tell you where your water comes from and what’s in it. They also include your area’s hard water number so you know what water softening solution you need.
(0:30) You can test for hard water in your home by taking a clean and clear bottle. Fill one-third of the bottle with tap water. Then, pour a few drops of pure Castile liquid soap into the bottle and shake. Make sure you use pure liquid soap because it doesn’t contain additives that will create suds in hard water.
If you have soft water, your bottle should still be filled a third of the way with water and two-thirds filled with bubbles from the soap.
If you have hard water, the water in the bottle will be cloudy and there will be a thin layer of bubbles.
(0:58) To find how hard your water is, you’ll need a test kit. You can get a free hard water test kit by going to https://homewater101.com/free-water-test.
Fill a glass with cold water and then dip your test strip in the glass for 3-5 seconds before removing. Compare the color on your test strip with the hard water color chart, and that will give you your home’s hard water number in grains per gallon.
This chart ranges from 0 to 60. 60 will be a dark red color.
Knowing your specific number will help you find the right softener for your home. You can shop for water softeners by going to https://www.ecopurehome.com/water-softeners/water-softening-systems and find the solution that’s best for you.

You’ve heard of hard water, but what is it actually? How does water become hard in the first place? Why is some water hard and some soft? Are there different degrees of water hardness? Is hard water good or bad for your family? How do you find out how hard your water is and should you be doing something about it for your family? If so, what can you do? Relax, I’m going to explain it all to you starting right now!
The definition of water hardness is the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in the water, typically expressed in ppm or gpg. The harder the water, the higher the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in your water. Water systems using well water as their source, as opposed to surface water from lakes and rivers, can become affected by water hardness, because when water moves through soil and rock it dissolves small amounts of naturally-occurring minerals and carries them into the ground water supply. Water is a natural solvent and dissolves calcium and magnesium, so if the minerals are present in the soil around a water-supply well, those minerals are absorbed and the water becomes hard. Typically when water is flowing through deposits of limestone, chalk or gypsum it becomes hard from absorbing the calcium and magnesium. Water hardness varies throughout Canada and the United States. In areas of the country where the water is relatively hard, home owners and industries invest money to soften their water, as hard water will buildup inside pipes damaging equipment like coffee makers, washing machines and dish washers. Hard water can even shorten the life of fabrics and clothes. But to most homeowners, water hardness means that the home becomes much more difficult to keep clean. If your water source is from a lake or river, your water will likely be soft.
What happens if your water is hard? Basically, the calcium and magnesium that was dissolved into the water that made it hard, now coats and leaves deposits on everything it comes into contact with including your pipes, fixtures, dishwasher, shower doors, dishes and your families skin and hair. Water, that is not wiped up immediately, when it comes into contact with any surface, leaves a scaly, hard residue that is very difficult to remove and that residue builds up layer after layer and needs to be removed with a strong, not environmentally friendly acids.
How hard is too hard? This YouTube video of mine https://youtu.be/3UmKvC5Wlrw explains that anything above 4 gpg (60 ppm) of hardness will cause scale buildup and staining, we call this moderately hard water. Water with a hardness of over 10 gpg is very hard and becomes very problematic with more extreme symptoms and cannot be used with tankless, on demand water heaters or UV disinfection systems as they would soon render them useless, due to the scale buildup. Once we get over 14 gpg of hardness, or extremely hard water, you will get major buildup everywhere.
ry skin and hair. Washing your hair frequently with hard water can leave your scalp feeling itchy.
The minerals in hard water can also change the pH balance of your skin, weakening it as a barrier against harmful bacteria and infections. People with eczema may be especially vulnerable. If you notice problems with dry skin and hair, you may want to look into a water-softening system for your home.
To learn how a water softener works, check out my YouTube video here https://youtu.be/udmE-hhh084. Basically through an ion exchange process your families water is softened through out your whole house.

"Apparently, all tap water is not created equal. Some water is deemed 'hard,' and other is considered to be 'soft.' And here's the confusing part: Hard water isn't better than soft in all situations, and soft isn't always preferable. Confused yet? We explain the ins and outs of each below."
Hardness of Water
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/triple_ocr_gateway/chemistry_out_there/hardness_of_water/revision/1/
"Hard water contains dissolved magnesium and calcium ions. These make it more difficult for the water to form a lather with soap. Temporary hardness is caused by dissolved calcium hydrogen carbonate (which is removed by boiling)."

"Not all water is created equal. Namely, some is hard (about 85 percent of the water in the U.S.) and some is soft-and the difference is important. It comes down to minerals, which are annoying in some circumstances and helpful in others."

There are 3 easy and cost-effective ways you can test for hard water in your home. We explain the methods so you know if you have hard water.
(0:12) The first method is to go online and check with your city. They provide an annual Water Quality Report that is available for anybody to read. They tell you where your water comes from and what’s in it. They also include your area’s hard water number so you know what water softening solution you need.
(0:30) You can test for hard water in your home by taking a clean and clear bottle. Fill one-third of the bottle with tap water. Then, pour a few drops of pure Castile liquid soap into the bottle and shake. Make sure you use pure liquid soap because it doesn’t contain additives that will create suds in hard water.
If you have soft water, your bottle should still be filled a third of the way with water and two-thirds filled with bubbles from the soap.
If you have hard water, the water in the bottle will be cloudy and there will be a thin layer of bubbles.
(0:58) To find how hard your water is, you’ll need a test kit. You can get a free hard water test kit by going to https://homewater101.com/free-water-test.
Fill a glass with cold water and then dip your test strip in the glass for 3-5 seconds before removing. Compare the color on your test strip with the hard water color chart, and that will give you your home’s hard water number in grains per gallon.
This chart ranges from 0 to 60. 60 will be a dark red color.
Knowing your specific number will help you find the right softener for your home. You can shop for water softeners by going to https://www.ecopurehome.com/water-softeners/water-softening-systems and find the solution that’s best for you.

The Hows and Whys of Water Softening
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYGJClm0ETQ
You’ve heard of hard water, but what is it actually? How does water become hard in the first place? Why is some water hard and some soft? Are there different degrees of water hardness? Is hard water good or bad for your family? How do you find out how hard your water is and should you be doing something about it for your family? If so, what can you do? Relax, I’m going to explain it all to you starting right now!
The definition of water hardness is the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in the water, typically expressed in ppm or gpg. The harder the water, the higher the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in your water. Water systems using well water as their source, as opposed to surface water from lakes and rivers, can become affected by water hardness, because when water moves through soil and rock it dissolves small amounts of naturally-occurring minerals and carries them into the ground water supply. Water is a natural solvent and dissolves calcium and magnesium, so if the minerals are present in the soil around a water-supply well, those minerals are absorbed and the water becomes hard. Typically when water is flowing through deposits of limestone, chalk or gypsum it becomes hard from absorbing the calcium and magnesium. Water hardness varies throughout Canada and the United States. In areas of the country where the water is relatively hard, home owners and industries invest money to soften their water, as hard water will buildup inside pipes damaging equipment like coffee makers, washing machines and dish washers. Hard water can even shorten the life of fabrics and clothes. But to most homeowners, water hardness means that the home becomes much more difficult to keep clean. If your water source is from a lake or river, your water will likely be soft.
What happens if your water is hard? Basically, the calcium and magnesium that was dissolved into the water that made it hard, now coats and leaves deposits on everything it comes into contact with including your pipes, fixtures, dishwasher, shower doors, dishes and your families skin and hair. Water, that is not wiped up immediately, when it comes into contact with any surface, leaves a scaly, hard residue that is very difficult to remove and that residue builds up layer after layer and needs to be removed with a strong, not environmentally friendly acids.
How hard is too hard? This YouTube video of mine https://youtu.be/3UmKvC5Wlrw explains that anything above 4 gpg (60 ppm) of hardness will cause scale buildup and staining, we call this moderately hard water. Water with a hardness of over 10 gpg is very hard and becomes very problematic with more extreme symptoms and cannot be used with tankless, on demand water heaters or UV disinfection systems as they would soon render them useless, due to the scale buildup. Once we get over 14 gpg of hardness, or extremely hard water, you will get major buildup everywhere.
ry skin and hair. Washing your hair frequently with hard water can leave your scalp feeling itchy.
The minerals in hard water can also change the pH balance of your skin, weakening it as a barrier against harmful bacteria and infections. People with eczema may be especially vulnerable. If you notice problems with dry skin and hair, you may want to look into a water-softening system for your home.

Hard drinking water may have moderate health benefits, but can pose serious problems in industrial settings, where water hardness is monitored to avoid costly breakdowns in boilers, cooling towers, and other equipment that handles water. In domestic settings, hard water is often indicated by a lack of suds formation when soap is agitated in water, and by the formation of limescale in kettles and water heaters. Wherever water hardness is a concern, water softening is commonly used to reduce hard water's adverse effects.
Sources of hardness
Water's hardness is determined by the concentration of multivalentcations in the water. Multivalent cations are positively charged metal complexes with a charge greater than 1+. Usually, the cations have the charge of 2+. Common cations found in hard water include Ca2+ and Mg2+. These ions enter a water supply by leaching from minerals within an aquifer. Common calcium-containing minerals are calcite and gypsum. A common magnesium mineral is dolomite (which also contains calcium). Rainwater and distilled water are soft, because they contain few ions.
