Temporary Hardness - How to remove - Boiling, washing soda, and ion-exchange resin
Problems of Hard Water Doesn't form a lather easily, instead forms scum, forms limescale when heated/boiled
Problems with limescale Unsightly, blocks pipes and reduces heating efficiency as it is a good insulator. CaCO3
Washing Soda Washing Soda (Sodium Carbonate) Calcium ions react with carbonate ions, forming an insoluble precipitate Softens both types
Ion exchange resin Sodium Ions on the resin are exchanged for calcium ions Softens both types
