Whats the Difference Between Hard Water and Soft?

For instance, rain water is a soft water, but when it makes its way through the ground, and into large waterways, it mixes with mineral elements such as chalks, and lime that contain calcium and magnesium salts. The mineral components in the hard water add to its flavor, whereas a soft water is salty. we normally soften our hard water in homes, in order to perform certain chores more conveniently. For instance, hard water does not form lather with soap easily, but soft water does, hence you don't have to waste too much detergent in hard water when you can soften the water to form more lather easily.

Hard water may eventually take its toll on some vulnerable household appliances especially the water heater. The continuous use of hard water inside a water heater, for instance, can cause speedy corrosion of heating elements, which means the elements will consume more energy just to heat the same amount of water it used to. Soaps become less effective with the components of hard water.
