Water is essential for living things to survive. Human, plants and animals cannot live without water. In agriculture, water is used for irrigating crops. At home, you can use water in washing and cooking. There are two types of water: hard water and soft water. The water that does not lather well with soap is known as hard water. This kind of water contains dissolved salts of magnesium and calcium. Soft water is a pure kind of water that is tasteless and lathers well when you use it with soap.
What is hard water?
Hard water refers to water that contains high amount of magnesium and calcium. This kind of water is not harmful to your health but can cause serious problems in your home. When you use hard water to clean your dishes it can clog your drain and even stain your glass. In addition hard water can leave a residue on skin and hair when you use it for bathing.
Hard water disadvantages
It is easy to tell the presence of hard water as it interferes with daily cleaning such as dishwashing, laundering, personal grooming and bathing. When you wash your hair in hard water it may look dull and feel sticky. Clothes that are washed in hard water may feel scratchy and harsh and look dingy. On the other hand, glasses and dishes may have spots when dry.
Soft water benefits
- Shinier, cleaner glassware and silverware
Hard water has minerals like magnesium and calcium which when they stick on cutlery and glasses they leave bad looking white streaks. However, when you do dishwashing using soft water you will end up with shiny glassware with no streak.
- Shiny, soft skin and hair
When you use hard water to clean your hair, it will be dry and brittle. But if you want your hair to be soft and shiny, you should use soft water to wash your skin and hair. Unlike water systems that use salt, the saltless water softener system produces less slippery water that you can bathe in. Therefore, you will have a soft skin without the slimy feeling and you won’t have to carry out 25 to 30 pound bag salt as you can simply replace a cartridge. In addition, Nuvo H20 water system eliminates showerheads that spread the wrong way. Without minerals such as magnesium and calcium, your skin will be soft and shiny when you use soft water.
- Less soap scum
Cleaning and showering with soft water leads to less build up of soap scum on your bath tub and shower. This will help maintain your shower by exposing it to less corrosive minerals.
