Hard Water vs Soft Water
Confused as to which is better now? They both have their advantages which come with their own disadvantages, one is not nearly better than the other. What is the solution to hard and soft water? LifeSource Water Softener Replacement!
1. Treating Hard Water
The simple solution for hard water is to turn to soft water, to reduce scale build up and any other disadvantages brought by it. The downfall of switching from hard water to soft water is the replacement of healthy minerals with sodium and potassium chloride. Soft water causes one’s house water to taste like salt but reduces scale build up. The World Health Organization (WHO) has determined that the removal of the healthy minerals in hard water such as calcium and magnesium is not good for overall public health.
