Water is just hydrogen and oxygen molecules when it drops from clouds
onto our heads, streams, lakes, rivers, oceans or simply onto the ground. Once water hits the ground it begins to pick up parts of
minerals and the more minerals it contains the ‘harder’ it becomes.
Many of us enjoy hard water particularly for drinking because it tends
to taste better. Yet hard water
for washing can leave mineral deposits on dishes, clothing and hair. You may
not feel as clean when you shower in it and over time your clothing can become
dingy along with your hair lackluster and dull if it’s repeatedly washed in hard water.
Since hard water
is less desirable for cleaning purposes some people specifically buy water softeners. Water softeners removing minerals and
add sodium ions achieve the softening process of water.
Adding sodium to create soft water results in water
than may not taste very good because it can taste very salty. This is could be
important and dangerous if you have any type of heart disease, edema or blood
pressure conditions because adding this extra sodium to your diet can worsen
these conditions.
Soft water makes for remarkable cleaning capacity.
It helps soap get its lather and it cleans up spots better. Your clothes, hair,
and dishes will both look and feel cleaner after a wash-up. Soft water is even good
for major appliances which tend to last longer in households where it is used
than do appliances in households where the water
is harder. It also may increase energy efficiency of appliances because soft water requires a small
percentage less of energy output and you typically won’t have to rewash things
to get them clean. Not having to rewash dishes will save you time and effort.
