Excessive hardness in water due to high levels of calcium carbonate will cause scale buildup on pipes and particularly water heating elements. Also there will be difficulty getting soap and detergents to lather. All these problems can be eliminated efficiently and automatically using an Autotrol Water Softener. These utilise the ion exchange process where the calcium is replaced with the more soluble sodium. This is all done automatically using a timer control which allows the water softener resin bed to backwash and regenerate with a brine solution as required.
