Hard water is not suitable for domestic usage.<\/p>\n<p>Cooking in hard water takes longer time. When used with hard water, soaps and shampoos lather very little. Hard water causes more residual deposits which are harmful for washing machines, heaters, showers and several other home appliances. The life term of the appliances reduces by forty five per cent.<\/p>\n<p>Hence hard water needs to be softened. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pritiinternational.in\/mineralwater.html\" target=\"_blank\">Water softening plants<\/a> soften hard water by removing magnesium, calcium and several metals present in hard water.

In the first stage, larger solids are removed from water.<br \/>\nIn the second stage, finer solid pieces, organic and inorganic materials and microorganisms are removed from water. pH balance is also adjusted in this stage.
