The hardness in water is caused mainly by Calcium, Magnesium and Bicarbonate. These natural minerals are part of the basic requirements to our body’s health. However, these ions or minerals stick to the inside of plumbing pipes and water equipment, causing scaling of pipes and obstruct free water flow. Water softening system offers a water purification solution for hard water and lime scale removal.
