Hard water Hard water can contain many magnesium and calcium ions. The ions dissolve easily in water, and due to cohesion, they tend to stick together. They also tend to bond with other substances, such as copper. When a few ions bond with such substances, other ions will, in turn, bond with them. These ions can cause problems with metal structures. The ions exchange build up as deposits inside water pipes and water heaters, eventually clogging the pipes. In many households, calcium or magnesium may build up in cookware, especially in coffee machines and kettles. The clusters of calcium and magnesium ions forms what could be described as "scale," or, more informally, "buildup." Additionally, when one showers or washes their hands in hot water, the ions react with the soap to form a sticky "scum," which hinders the soap's ability to lather properly. To alleviate problems with hard water, it can be treated to reduce the calcium and magnesium concentration. Many ways exist for this; how it works, for households, most of those are much too expensive. One inexpensive solution is to use a water softener, which many households use. 150233 20-BB-1-Blue-Black-HFPP-PR Big Blue Housing for 20'' Cartridge, Port Size: 1'', Sump: Blue, Cap: Black, High-Flow PolyPropylene, Comes with Pressure Relief Button 150470 10-BB-3/4-Blue-Black-HFPP Big Blue Housing for 10'' Cartridge, Port Size: 3/4'', Sump: Blue, Cap: Black, High-Flow PolyPropylene, NO Pressure Relief Button, NSF 150469 10-BB-3/4-Blue-Black-HFPP-PR Big Blue Housing for 10'' Cartridge, Port Size: 3/4'', Sump: Blue, Cap: Black, High-Flow PolyPropylene, Comes with Pressure Relief Button, NSF 150239 10-BB-1.5-Blue-Black-HFPP-PR Big Blue Housing for 10'' Cartridge, Port Size: 1-1/2'', Sump: Blue, Cap: Black, High-Flow PolyPropylene, Comes with Pressure Relief Button 150238 10-BB-1-Blue-Black-HFPP Big Blue Housing for 10'' Cartridge, Port Size: 1'', Sump: Blue, Cap: Black, High-Flow PolyPropylene, NO Pressure Relief Button 150237 10-BB-1-Blue-Black-HFPP-PR Big Blue Housing for 10'' Cartridge, Port Size: 1'', Sump: Blue, Cap: Black, High-Flow PolyPropylene, Comes with Pressure Relief Button 150069 20-3/4-Blue-Black-MB-PR Standard Housing for 20'' Cartridge, Port Size: 3/4'', Sump: Blue, Cap: Black, Connects with Mounting Bracket, Comes with Pressure Relief Button 150164 10-3/4-Blue-Blue-VIH-PR Standard Housing for 10'' Cartridge, Port Size: 3/4'', Sump: Blue, Cap: Blue, Connection: Valve In Head, Comes with Pressure Relief Button 150071 10-3/4-Clear-Blue-MB-PR Standard Housing for 10'' Cartridge, Port Size: 3/4'', Sump: Clear, Cap: Blue, Connects with Mounting Bracket, Comes with Pressure Relief Button 150067 10-3/4-Blue-Black-MB-PR Standard Housing for 10'' Cartridge, Port Size: 3/4'', Sump: Blue, Cap: Black, Connects with Mounting Bracket, Comes with Pressure Relief Button H 150015 10-3/4-Red Standard Housing for 10'' Cartridge, Port Size: 3/4'', Sump: Red, Cap: Red, No Pressure Relief Button, for Hot Water AG2514TF 1206718 Desal AG2514TF, Commercial Brackish TFC - Thin Film Composite Membrane Size: 2.4'' x 14'', Flow Rate: 180 GPD @ 225 PSI 32-175-050-100 CTO/2 32175050100 MATRIKX +CTO/2, ''The Workhorse'', Culligan Compatible, 2'' x 11.75'', 10 Micron 32-425-125-20 CTO/2 3242512520 MATRIKX +CTO/2, ''The Workhorse'', Big Blue BB, 4.25'' x 20'', 10 Micron 32-425-125-975 CTO/2 32425125975 MATRIKX +CTO/2, ''The Workhorse'', Big Blue BB, 4.25'' x 10'', 10 Micron 32-250-125-20 CTO/2 3225012520 MATRIKX +CTO/2, ''The Workhorse'', 2.50'' x 20'', 5 Micron 32-250-125-975 CTO/2 32250125975 MATRIKX +CTO/2, ''The Workhorse'', 2.50'' x 10'', 10 Micron 20-185-125-083 Ceramikx Kx 20185125083 MATRIKX Ceramikx SC, All Carbon Sub-Micron Performance, 1.85'' x 9.20'' (RainSoft Size), 1/2 (0.5) Micron 20-250-190-975 Ceramikx ST 20250190975 MATRIKX Ceramikx ST, All Carbon Sub-Micron Performance, 2-1/2'' x 10'', 1/2 (0.5) Micron 19-250-125-975 CR1 19250125975 MATRIKX CR1, Chlorine and Cyst Reduction, 2-1/2'' x 10'', 1 Micron 10-250-190-20 10/2 1025019020 MATRIKX 10/2, 'The Only Choice', 2-1/2'' x 20'', 10 Micron 06-250-125-050 Pb1 06250125050 MATRIKX Pb1, The Premier Performer, 2-1/2'' x 5'', 1 - 2 Micron 151011 151122 151120 Coupler, BIG BLUE 144229 155065 Coupler, STANDARD 155003 155159 I-0-3LRA/R 151254 SW-4 144368 S7025X S7028X 53-200-119-975 Kx   drink water for health | deionized water | causes of water pollution | distilled water | Gastroenteritis | water filter | Giardia lamblia | double distilled water | drinking water | fresh water | hard water | measurement of water-quality | mineral water | other water purification techniques | portable water purification | reverse osmosis in use | reverse osmosis method | reverse osmosis | slow sand filter bed | sources of drinking water | water cleanliness and disinfection | water for everyone | water in everyday life | water pollution | water purification | water quality | water softener | water supply | water treatment methods | water | world day for water | Water distillers | Water filters | Membrane filtration | Water treatment | Reverse osmosis
