The hardness of a water supply depends on the types of rock where it is collected. Hard water usually comes from rocks which contain calcium and/or magnesium compounds. These include common sedimentary rocks such as limestone and gypsum. Soft water comes off different kinds of rock, so it all depends on how the water company sets up its supply system.

Is hard water or soft water a greater solvent?
Hard water is generally a weaker solvent compared to soft water. This is because hard water contains minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can reduce its ability to dissolve other substances effectively. Soft water, on the other hand, lacks these minerals and is better at dissolving substances, making it a more efficient solvent.

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 kind of chemicals does a water softener use?
Water softeners typically use salt or potassium chloride to remove minerals such as calcium and magnesium from hard water. When hard water passes through the resin bed in the water softener, the sodium ions in the salt or potassium chloride exchange places with the calcium and magnesium ions, softening the water.
How can you tell the difference between hard and soft water?
