Wasserhärten
Wasserhärten, also known as water hardness or water mineralization, is a measure of the concentration of minerals in water, particularly calcium and magnesium ions. These minerals are typically added to water through the presence of calcium and magnesium compounds, such as calcium carbonate or magnesium sulfate.
Soft water, with low levels of these minerals, tends to be more soluble and has a lower
Medium to high concentrations of calcium and magnesium ions, on the other hand, indicate hard water. Hard
* Reduced soap and detergent effectiveness
* Increased energy consumption through pipe scaling
* Increased maintenance requirements for household appliances
The hardness of water is typically measured in degrees (°dH), which is a standardized unit of measurement
Wasserhärten can be treated through various methods, including water softeners, ion exchange systems, and chemical treatment.
