Some say that Alum causes alzeimers (1970's) but if that is true, the information was successfully hushed while most of America drank water treated with alum for decades. Lime is used to adjust the ph that is lowered by the alum. There is also a process using lime that actually removes hardness (calcium and magnesium) from drinking water obtained from limestone aquifers. This process is called Lime Soda Softening.
