Hard water can be an extremely harmful product to use in both residential, personal and commercial settings. If left untreated, hard water can cause you a lot of problems that could otherwise be avoided. Hard water systems are used to transform dangerous and harmful hard water, into clean usable water that will help your grass grow, clean surfaces effectively and provide healthy drinking water in agricultural settings. In this article, Hydrosmart discusses the dangers of hard water for a range of industries, while exploring the best ways to treat it, and how this treatment can be beneficial for you personally, or for your company on a commercial scale.
What is Hard Water?
Simply put, hard water is water that contains high levels of minerals. It is generally formed when it passes through deposits such as limestone, gypsum and chalk. These minerals can cause harmful damage, especially in industrial and commercial settings, causing costly breakdowns on equipment such as boilers and cooling towers.
Hard Water Treatment Systems
Hard water systems are designed to remove this high content level of minerals from the water. They work in a relatively simple way and have a wide range of applications throughout a number of industries. A hard water conditioner helps to remove certain water content that can be dangerous to drink, such as chlorine and organic gasses, while a hard water treatment system can be used on a commercial scale to remove minerals that may cause corrosion and damage to infrastructure and machinery.
Commercial Applications
Treating hard water has seemingly endless applications over a huge scope of industries. It can be used in agricultural settings to remove minerals that may affect the growth of your crops. These systems can also be used to treat water that is being used in the hospitality industry, ensuring that surfaces are being cleaned using water that will not cause rust or damage to kitchen appliances and equipment. The mining industry also treats its hard water to ensure that its expensive machinery and infrastructure are not at risk of damage, which would prove extremely costly for a business of that size.
