How Easy Is It to Remove Calcium From Water?

Water softener alternativeHard water is defined as water with high levels of minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. You might not be able to see it inside your pipes, but a quick search online for “calcium carbonate scale” will show you many images of the layers of buildup that will take over your plumbing if your hard water is not treated. Scale formation is the result of the minerals that are left untreated over time.

To avoid the harmful side effects of hard water, homeowners typically look for solutions that will help minimize the damage that it causes. There are many options in the market today that will treat or remove calcium from water along with other minerals.

One way of treating hard water involves changing each calcium ion in your water to a sodium ion. This process creates a great deal of waste water and leaves too much sodium in your water. It is a complex and large system that requires a great deal of maintenance. We have a better option! ScaleSafe Home is a simple system that dispenses an additive to changes the shape of the calcium molecule so that it does not adhere to your pipes or water fixtures. The process to remove calcium from water is time consuming, wasteful and expensive. Our system fights the hard water problems in a more efficient, safe, and cost effective way.

Minerals in waterDo you know if you have hard or soft water? Did you know testing water hardness with us is simple and free?

Hard water is caused by high level of minerals such as calcium and magnesium in your water. The higher the levels, the harder the water will be and the more problems it will cause such as low water pressure, white deposits on your shower head and faucet, clogged coffee pot or ice maker and more!

Our simple and free water hardness test strip will give you immediate results. According to the standards established by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (S-339) and the Water Quality Association (WQA), hard water levels are defined by the following:
