No, hard water does not have a distinct smell.
To remove hard water stains on granite, mix equal parts water and white vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray the solution onto the affected area and let it sit for a few minutes. Scrub gently with a soft brush or cloth, then rinse with water and dry thoroughly. Repeat if necessary.
Boiling hard water does not make it soft. Boiling water only removes some impurities and kills bacteria, but it does not change the mineral content that makes water hard. To soften hard water, a water softener system is needed.
A scum forms when soap is used in hard water. This occurs because the calcium and magnesium ions in the hard water react with the soap to form insoluble salts, which precipitate out as a scum.
The primary chemical in hard water is calcium carbonate, which forms when water comes in contact with minerals like limestone and chalk. Additionally, magnesium salts can also contribute to water hardness.
Manchester is in an area with a water hardness rating of Slightly hard to moderately hard (100-200mg/l as Calcium Carbonate equivalent).
It depends on what area you live in whether your water is hard or soft, hope that helps :)
No it is a soft cheese made from water buffalo milk.
No
Those are hard water stains. You need to wipe your sink dry after use, if you have hard water.
It may be assumed that the addition of the 'h' is just a spelling mistake. The Emmental is a medium hard cheese that originated around the area of Emmental in Switzerland

While there are some species that need very soft water (Discus below 4 dGH) and others that need very hard water (Malawi Cichlids above 12dGH) the vast majority of species will cope with medium hard/soft water. Anywhere between 6 to 10 dGH is OK for most fish.
The water in Albuquerque is generally considered hard, with a hardness level typically ranging from 150 to 300 mg/L of calcium carbonate. This is due to the area's geology, which includes mineral-rich aquifers. Hard water can lead to scale buildup in plumbing and appliances, but it is not harmful to health. Many residents use water softeners to mitigate the effects of hard water.
To determine the level of hard water grains per gallon in your water supply, you can use a water testing kit or contact your local water utility for information on water hardness levels in your area. Hard water is typically measured in grains per gallon (GPG) or parts per million (ppm).
rain water soft whilst falling,when it hits the ground or into rivers it mixes minerals etc which in in turn turn it hard some area like devon it stay soft
Bedford, England, is considered a hard water area. This is primarily due to the region's geological features, which include limestone and chalk, that contribute to higher levels of calcium and magnesium in the water supply. As a result, residents may notice limescale buildup in appliances and plumbing.
