The Majority of water in Ireland comes from groundwater sources. Rain water permeates layers of soil, clay, sand and rock and in the process picks up a number of minerals along the way.
Hardness is defined by the content of calcium and magnesium that is found in water. The harder the water the more calcium and magnesiium it contains. Although it is not toxic, hardness can cause a number of problems.
Hard water leaves traces of calcium and magnesium on glassware, surfaces, within pipework and appliances.
Which causes:
Shorter equipment life span
Higher energy costs
Reduced flow rates
Under performing appliances
Excess deposits create a drop in efficiency, increased chemical cleaning costs and maintenance scheduules and in the worse cases equipment failure.
Water Conditioning and a water softeners are used to remove hardness from water.
