Hard and Soft Water by Alan Fabricio Ardón Orantes https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw water is the driving force of all nature. en-us 2021-07-11 01:44:05 UTC 2023-03-09 11:44:57 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f30a.png The most common water problem in the home is water that is high in minerals, known as hard water. Hard water contains magnesium and / or calcium ions, and if these minerals build up in the pipes as the water flows through them, the pipes can become clogged, especially if there is a high concentration of calcium ions. alanfabricioardonorantes4bach https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644304188 2021-07-11 01:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644304188 Homeowners with hard water often treat the water to soften it, which involves replacing the magnesium and calcium ions in the water with sodium ions. The result is soft water. Soft water doesn't react with soap to form a precipitate, but it doesn't taste very good either. For that reason, we say that soft water is free water dissolved in calcium and magnesium ions. alanfabricioardonorantes4bach https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644304248 2021-07-11 01:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644304248 As rainwater falls, it is naturally soft. However, as water makes its way through the ground and into our waterways, it picks up minerals like chalk, lime and mostly calcium and magnesium and becomes hard water. Since hard water contains essential minerals, it is sometimes the preferred drinking water. Not only because of the health benefits, but also the flavor. On the other hand, soft water tastes salty and is sometimes not suitable for drinking. alanfabricioardonorantes4bach https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644304288 2021-07-11 01:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644304288 There are no serious adverse health problems Trusted Source associated with drinking hard water. However, hard water can contribute to dry 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. If that isn’t possible, talk with a dermatologist about moisturizers and hair products you can use to combat the effects of hard water. alanfabricioardonorantes4bach https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644304338 2021-07-11 01:45:41 UTC https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644304338 Consuming hard water is bad for your health, but we can solve all this using a water softener system, we can use it in the following way: it connects directly to the water supply of the network and works by passing the water through the system, removing hard water particles from the water, before releasing the softened water back into the ongoing water supply. Water softeners come in various sizes for home use to fit under the kitchen sink or cupboard and larger sizes for larger homes and commercial use. alanfabricioardonorantes4bach https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644304371 2021-07-11 01:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644304371 alanfabricioardonorantes4bach https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644305283 There are differences between hard and soft water, some of them are:]]> 2021-07-11 01:49:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644305283 alanfabricioardonorantes4bach https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644306204 2021-07-11 01:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644306204 alanfabricioardonorantes4bach https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644316181 Hard and Soft Water explanation]]> 2021-07-11 02:22:39 UTC https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644316181 In conclusion we can say that the amount of mineral salts in the water, influence its composition, which makes it divided into hard waters and soft waters. alanfabricioardonorantes4bach https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644335715 2021-07-11 03:20:18 UTC https://padlet.com/alanfabricioardonorantes4bach/jzsr2smb09j5zmbw/wish/1644335715
