Hard water content of 2+ and 3+ mineral metal ions is high. Most common hardness is result of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions in ground- or surface water.
Soft water on the other hand, contains lower levels of calcium and magnesium. Rain water is soft.

∙ 12y agoHardness in water is defined as concentration of multivalent cations.
Multivalent cations are cations (positively charged metal complexes) with a charge greater than 1+. They mainly have the charge of 2+. These cations include Ca2+ and Mg2+, but Fe2+/3+ and Mn2+ are also common 'hardness' ions.
They all are possible to be deposited (by precipitation) with carbonate, sulfate and hydroxide ions.
