when it is heated some of the calcium salts decompose to form limescale.
I know that one of the characteristics of hard water is thathard water does not lather when you add soap because the soap contains carbonates of calcium and magnesium.
There are some simple ways to establish if your water is hard or soft, and there are several observable characteristics of hard water...
Step #1: The Soap Test
If your water is hard, soap will tend not to lather up easily
Step #2: The Toothpaste Test
Toothpaste does not froth very well in hard water
Step # 3: Crusty White Sediments
You will notice white crusty sediments around fixtures and fittings, especially taps/faucets and showerheads
Step #4: Bathtub Ring
Hard water leaves a recurring ring around your bath tub which is difficult to remove
Step #5: Dish Test
Your dishes will have hard water spots on them
Step #6: Clothes Test
Your white clothes will look dingy and may have yellow stains
Step #7: Appliances
The other hidden effects of hard water are that it can cause serious wear and tear to water dependent appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers etc
Hard water does not lather well with soap. It has a high mineral content (mainly calcium and magnesium ions)
Reverse osmosis water filter do indeed remove hard water minerals - up to 95% of calcium and magnesium ions. These are the ones that cause hard water problems.
Forms of Calcium is what makes hard water hard
Hard water does not produce lather. So soap does not work effectively with hard water as soap does not form a good lather with hard water.
YES, it's is the calcium that makes the water "hard". That is why you use a cleaner that has a calcium remover in it to get those hard water stains off.
Hard water refers to water that has very high mineral content, which affects its behavior in pipes and its affect on other chemicals like soap, where it often causes the formation of soap scum. Hard water also has a tendency to form deposits in pipes. Normally you wouldn't WANT to make water become hard, and there are systems for trying to reduce the "hardness" of water in the pipes of your home.

What problems does hard water cause? If you wash clothes with hard water they will often look scratchy or feel very harsh. Often if you bathe with soap and hard water you will have a sticky film of soap left on you. If you wash dishes mainly in a dishwasher with hard water you will have spotting or a film on your dishes or cooking utensils. Some things that are convenient about hard water is that it works just fine for watering your garden, washing or rinsing you driveway, and it is fine for most outdoor lawn care things.

"Hard" water can cause problems in the plumbing over time. It also makes it difficult to rinse soap out of the laundry (or hair and skin), and leaves a film that will make clothes (and hair) look and feel dingy. A water softener will provide nearly instant relief.
It helped them because it was hard for them to get attack the bad thing is that had water problems like when it rain the city floods and it mixed the fresh water with the salty water.
