What are total dissolved solids & how to reduce them?

What are total dissolved solids  & how to reduce them?

Many places in India receive a hard water supply. Using hard water for bathing, laundry, cleaning, and other household chores can cause several issues – from scaling & corrosion of taps and appliances to dryness of skin and hair. The water becomes hard when it percolates through limestone, chalk, and gypsum deposits which adds a high amount of calcium and magnesium carbonates, bicarbonates, and sulphates to the water.

If you have a hard water supply, you may notice that soap doesn’t lather easily and you have to use a lot more soap. Additionally, your hands may also feel slimy after washing them. Taps, pipes, and appliances may also have solid deposits and scaling. While some people try out do-it-yourself methods to reduce the negative effects of hard water with shower filters, using purified water, masks, and rinses, the most feasible long-term solution to this problem is installing a Pureline Water Softener. This appliance softens hard water to make it suitable for use domestically. To know more about the impact of hard water, read on.

Impact of Hard Water on Hair and Skin

Hard water can cause an accumulation of solid deposits on your hair and skin.

  • Minerals deposit and crystallize on the scalp making the hair brittle.
  • Soaps & Shampoos don’t work as effectively as the hard water forms a scum, instead of lather.
  • Mineral deposits can block the pores on your scalp.
  • Hair appears flat, non-voluminous, and frizzy.
  • Skin can become dry, flaky, and itchy due to the use of hard water

Impact of Hard Water on your Home

Hard water deposits and builds up on different surfaces, affecting taps, tiles, and appliances.

  • You need to use more soaps, detergents, and shampoos as it takes a lot more effort and product to make lather with hard water.
  • Solid deposits of calcium can form in appliances such as geysers. This impacts the life of the appliance, increases water heating costs, and lowers the efficiency of the geyser.
  • Hard water can clog pipes and affect the plumbing of the house.
  • The bathroom fittings and marble floors are prone to scaling and corrosion if you’re using hard water
