Total hardness=(Ca2+)*(combining weight of CaCO3/combining weight of Ca2+) +(Mg2+)(combining weight of CaCO3/combining weight of Mg2+)
the sum of hardness
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.
As per W.H.O the limit for hardness in water is in between (60-11)mg/L....
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
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.

1 1/2 cups, 1cup = 8oz, average water bottle is 12oz.
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 is no average, it depends where you are. It should be between 6.9-7.5 ideally.There is no average, it depends where you are. It should be between 6.9-7.5ideally.
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.
Typically in the east coast the rock formations are igneous rocks like granite so the water doesn't pick up very much calcium so you will have a modest amount of hardness on the east coast of the united states, in the south central, primarily the Texas area, you get extremely hard water along with high tedious and on the west coast water has an average hardness and then are some areas of the mid-west where the water can be extremely hard, also from wells they being the upper mid-west, the water has a lot of limestone deposits and that's where water hardness is imported to the water.
Hardness of water can be removed with a water softener. These devices pump the water through salt to remove minerals and other particles.
