What is Hard Water?

As we all know, water flows! It is stationary only when in a lake, or emerges in the well which as well has flown through various regions before being deposited there.

So when it flows through rocks rich in limestone, gypsum, or waterbed that is rich in calcium and magnesium, it fuses with these minerals. And that’s how hard water is formed. Interesting, right?

What’s even more interesting is that there are two types of hard water- temporary and permanent. Yes, there’s a classification of hardness as well! To put it simply, temporary hardness could be reduced by merely boiling it. In contrast, permanent hardness, which is caused by the presence of calcium sulfate or calcium chloride and magnesium sulfate/magnesium chloride in the water, do not precipitate out as the temperature increases. As a result? Yes, permanently hard water.

Now, the important question, why does hard water form stains?

If you may have noticed, no, you definitely would have noticed stains of water on your bathroom tiles or your plumbing. Not necessarily brown, these stains start with white spots on pipes and wherever water flows from or accumulates.

So, why does hard water leave stains from wherever it flows?

The thing is, the minerals we talked about earlier, which are responsible for making the water hard, yes, calcium and magnesium, are heavy. Their ions fail to flow along with the flowing water and gets deposited along the way.

These deposits are called scales. Now the journey from scales to rust stains goes like this… once the scale deposition starts and you fail to do anything about it, scaling continues.

How you could get rid of everything, hard water, scales, and stains

There are several ways people do it, including the use of acid to clean the stains, the use of water softeners to treat hard water, and the ion-exchange method that replaces the hard ions.

But none of them has proved to be 100% effective.

And here is where Kashyap, that’s us, enters!

Kashyap is an eco-friendly hard water treatment that uses impulse technology to resist scaling. Our Anti-scale product not only stops scaling but also removes old scale deposits.

With no need for maintenance post-installation, and no water wastage in the process, Kashyap is just what one needs for solving all the hard water problems, and that includes staining.
