Reverse Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis is the process in which pure water is produced by forcing water through a semipermeable membrane across which impurities cannot pass, separating pure water from most of the substances dissolved within it. Reverse osmosis uses an applied pressure…
Water Softening
Water softening is the removal of calcium, magnesium and certain other cations in hard water. (A cation is an ion with a positive charge.) The resulting soft water requires less soap for the same cleaning effort as soap is not…
Hard Water
Hard water is water that has high mineral content, formed when water percolates through geological deposits such as limestone, chalk or gypsum which are largely made up of calcium and magnesium carbonates, bicarbonates and sulfates. Iron oxides or iron carbonates…
