- Hard Water Treatment Solutions
-
- WHAT IS WATER HARDNESS:
Calcium (Ca)
Magnesium (Mg)
The term hardness refers to the
quantity of dissolved calcium and magnesium in water. These minerals,
which come primarily from limestone type rock formations, are
found to some degree in almost all natural waters. Calcium and
magnesium cause problems for two principal reasons:
When the water is warmed, they
precipitate out of solution and form a hard, rock-like scale.
This scale accelerates corrosion, restricts flow, and reduces
heat transfer in water heaters and boilers.
When they combine with soap, they react to form a curd, which
interferes with cleaning, dries out skin, and leaves deposits
on plumbing and clothes (bathtub ring; ring around the collar).
Hardness is measured in parts per million (or the equivalent
mg/L) or in grains per gallon (gpg). Note: if the water analysis
is given in ppm as CaCO3 then 1 gpg = 17.1 ppm. There is no established
limit for the acceptable level of hardness in water, but it is
generally considered to become problematic at around 3 gpg.
Levels of hardness are referred
to as follows:
Soft Water: 0 - 1 grains per
gallon (gpg)
Slightly Hard Water: 1 - 4 grains per gallon (gpg)
Moderately Hard Water: 4 - 7 grains per gallon (gpg)
Hard Water: 7 - 10 grains per gallon (gpg)
Very Hard Water: Over 10 grains per gallon (gpg)

What Is Iron (Fe)
The presence of Iron is a very
common water quality problem, particularly in water from deep
wells. Water containing even a significant quantity of iron may
appear clear when drawn, but will rapidly turn red upon exposure
to air. This process is called oxidation, and involves the conversion
of ferrous (dissolved) iron, which is highly soluble, to ferric
(precipitated) iron, which is largely insoluble. The ferric iron
then causes red/brown staining on clothes, fixtures, etc.
Iron concentration is measured
in ppm or mg/l (milligrams per liter, where 1 ppm = 1 mg/l).
Staining usually becomes a problem at concentrations greater
than 0.3 ppm.

in concentrations as low as 0.05 ppm.

What Is Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)
Hydrogen Sulfide is a gas which
smells strongly like rotten eggs. It results from the decay of
organic matter with organic sulphur and the presence of certain
types of bacteria. Even very low concentrations are offensive
as well as highly corrosive (silver tarnishes almost immediately
upon contact with H2S).
Because it is in a gaseous form,
H2S cannot be collected in a sample bottle for laboratory analysis.
Therefore, its presence must be reported when a sample is submitted
for a treatment recommendation.

sulfide up to 2ppm, manganese up to 2ppm, iron up to 25ppm and

Acidity Low (pH), Acidic Water,
pH Correction
Water which contains excess acidity
tends to act aggressively towards plumbing and fixtures, causing
corrosion and staining (i.e.-blue green stains on fixtures from
copper pipes). Relative acidity/alkalinity is measured on the
pH scale, ranging from 0- 1 4, where 7 is neutral, numbers lower
than 7 are progressively more acidic, and numbers higher than
seven are increasingly alkaline (basic). The pH value refers
not to the quantity of acidity, but rather to the relative acidity/alkalinity
of a particular sample.
Alkalinity acts as a buffer to
deactivate the acidity, a process called neutralization. For
example, limestone (calcium carbonate) is often applied to soil
to offset the acidity which comes from acid rain and decaying
organic material. The acceptable range for water is 6.5-8.5.
Acidity cannot be removed from
water. However, it can be neutralized by raising the pH with
alkalinity.
LOW pH WATER TREATMENT SOLUTIONS:
- IRON
MAX PLUS: brings pH to
a neutral level and can remove hydrogen sulfide and sulfer bacteria,
manganese up to 20ppm, iron up to 35+ppm and iron bacteria (well
water)

What Are Total Dissolved Solids
(TDS)
TDS is the sum of the mineral
salts in water and if too high can result in objectionable taste,
cloudy ice, interference with the flavor of foods and beverages
and scale left behind in cookware. Generally speaking, the lower
the TDS the more acceptable the drinking water. TDS of 500 ppm
or more is unacceptable for drinking water. Reverse Osmosis (R0)
process has proven itself as the most practical and cost effective
method of correcting problems caused by high TDS.
