As per W.H.O the limit for hardness in water is in between (60-11)mg/L....
Temporary hardness of water: CaHCO3, MgHCO3 Permanent hardness of water: CaSO4, MgSO4
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.
Presence of bicarbonates of chlorides or sulphates of calcium or magnesium in water are the main causes of hardness of water.
You do not treat pool water hardness with chemicals. If you have hard water in your area then you need to know what the allowable maximum of water hardness is before the water needs to be changed. You remove or reduce the hardness in water by draining and refilling the pool. K
Because calcium carbonate is the most important impurity in water to produce hardness.
Magnesium sulfate (MgSo4) does not cause hardness of water.
Salt is sometimes used to remove water hardness. Borax and soda are generally used as well to remove water hardness.

IS 2062 standard does not specify any Hardness Limit for the material. As such, even the equivalent SA36 does not specify anything on Hardness. But this being a P No.1 material in properties, the commonly accepted Hardness limit is 200HB or 93 HRB. Again there can be variation based on specific application/project requirements.
The water supplier can provide you the details on hardness level if you are on municipal water systems, If you are using private water then you can get tested in laboratories. You can even measure it with water hardness testing kits which you need to purchase.

There are two ways to help control water hardness: use a packaged water softener or use a mechanical water softening unit. Packaged water softeners are chemicals that help control water hardness.
Yes. it causes temporary hardness of water, which can be generally removed by boiling water.
Hardness of water can be removed with a water softener. These devices pump the water through salt to remove minerals and other particles.

Sodium chloride is not the cause of water hardness.
