Yes, the HardnessMaster appears to be extremely effective and is sold by Vitasalus, Inc. at http://www.equinox-products.com. The Hardness Master is a no-salt electronic water conditioner & descaler system that provides an easy solution to hard water and limescale problems.
"I love this softener! The water in Las Vegas is hard (18.3 gpg or 313 mg/L (ppm)). I bought the Vitasalus HardnessMaster with skepticism. I installed it in five minutes and said 'We'll see how it works'. In two days time I felt a difference! After the third day and a couple loads of laundry I could literally feel and see the difference in my clothes and around the sink and shower. I am only sorry that I didn't find the HardnessMaster sooner. I've told all my friends about the Hardness Master. Do yourself a favor and get one today!"

A water hardness master works by using special resins that exchange calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium ions. This process helps reduce the hardness of the water by removing these minerals that cause scaling and build-up. The softened water is then able to flow through pipes and appliances more effectively, without causing damage or reducing their lifespan.
Forms of Calcium is what makes hard water hard
Water hardness is a measure of the mineral content in water, specifically calcium and magnesium ions. It is typically classified as soft, moderately hard, hard, or very hard based on the concentration of these minerals. The level of water hardness can impact the taste of water, the effectiveness of soaps and detergents, and the longevity of plumbing fixtures.
in experince, i have never came accross hard water, but if it helps it goes relativly hard when it is in ice form. :)
Your incoming fill water may be hard.
Hardness in water is usually characterised as temporary or permanent. Both are due to the presence of calcium or magnesium ions. If they are present as the hydrogen carbonate, when the water is boiled this is converted to the carbonate which precipitates out as a solid, leaving water which is no longer hard, so this is called temporary hardness. If they are present as the sulfate the solution is unaffected by boiling, and this is called permanent hardness.
here two type of hardness 1-temporery 2-permanent *temporery hardness-it is also known as carbonate hardness and alkiliny hardness.it is unstable hardness.it is remove by boiling.it is the due presence of carbonate.
Tropical refers to the temperature of the water; aquariums can be tropical and hard, or tropical and soft water. Water hardness is simply a measure of the mineral content of the water.
Chemicals commonly used to treat hard water in pools include calcium hardness reducers or sequestrants. These products help to prevent the build-up of scale caused by hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult with a professional to determine the appropriate treatment for your specific pool.
Water hardness is due to high levels of minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium, present in the water. These minerals can accumulate in water sources through contact with rocks and soil, leading to increased hardness. Water hardness can impact the taste, quality, and effectiveness of soaps and detergents.
No. There is different types of hard water.There is slightly hard, moderately hard, hard and very hard water.And as for soft water it has to have less than a grain of calcium or magnesium. Hard water isn't as useful as soft water.
