Water hardness or softness refer to a number of water parameters. Most commonly hardness refers to what known as General Hardness(GH), which is basically a measure of the calcium and magnesium salts present in water. There is also Carbonate hardness(KH), which is a measure of the carbonate concentration of the water. Combined, these two form Total Hardness, ie, GH + KH = TH
