Effective methods for softening water available at home

When discussing the topic of quality of liquid flowing from the taps, somehow automatically meant that it is the presence in it of various suspensions, ie about pollution.Accordingly, there is a question only of water treatment - using any filters, and it is desirable to cheap?

But indicators such as the degree of hardness of the water, seems to be moving away into the background.Somehow, the subject is given to a much smaller - and it is in vain.By the way, the owners of private buildings that have installed a system of independent water supply, and even out of the hole "on the limestone" (namely, such sources are the most popular among individual developers), this question concerns directly.Such water is characterized by high rigidity.

What problems can arise if it is not "soften"?They are many:

• Without going into the intricacies of medical terminology, suffice it to say, in general - with our health.

• Pour into the tank so water can not be - it will have to defend about 24 hours.It is believed that this is done in order to chlorine evaporated.And it is right.But in the private sector is engaged in water treatment, few people, and "withstand" the water will still have to salts of heavy metals precipitated.

• watering is not recommended, since most of them are sensitive to increased stiffness.

• Regular breakdown of household appliances, operation of which is associated with water (washing machines and dishwashers, boilers and so on), is guaranteed.Moreover, for two main reasons - to scale the walls of the vessels and on the heating elements, because of what the past quite quickly burn out.But what is "poured", no need to explain - time, nerves + money.

• need for systematic cleaning of dishes from layers.Also a little fun, especially when it comes to e-mail / samovar or a teapot.

How can soften the water

different home methods of water softening quite a lot.Evaluate their ease of implementation and effectiveness, probably does not make sense.In varying degrees, the effectiveness of each repeatedly tested and proven practice.And the possibilities, preferences, all people are different.Therefore we confine ourselves to an enumeration of the most prominent and respected reader will decide whether it is suitable to any of them or not in a given situation.After all, some are fast, but result from the other will have to wait.

But before deciding whether to make use of, it should be understood that none of the so-called "folk" methods 100% of the results will not provide.Lower hardness of the water - it will completely reduced to zero - no.

Almond bran

bagasse that remains after an oil seed plant is crushed to a powder by industrial methods.Processing The product can be found on sale.We can only buy it and add to water in a ratio of 200 ml of liquid - 1 tbsp.a spoon.

Silver

Everyone has probably heard that if you put in a pot something made from this silver (spoon, an old coin), then gradually purified water.It should make emphasis on gradually.Such a method is suitable softener except for the fluid in the indoor aquarium, not for water, which is used constantly.Thus it is necessary to know that silver works on bacteria, "kills" them precisely, so to talk about mitigation of water in the true sense of the term is not necessary.

boiled

Efficiency is not the highest, as the "clean" water is only partial - some chemicals will not work to remove the connection.The technique is simple: heating up to the boiling temperature - exposure to fire about ¾ hour - cooling and sedimentation within 4 - 6 hours.

alkali

One example potash, alcohol, ammonia, borax.In principle, the list is quite large, but in practice most commonly used soda (food).In a large glass - ¼ spoon (tea).

chemical composition

Many housewives before the washing machine is loaded into a special powder.On sale there are many similar tools, so consider the whole range does not make sense.Information on the Internet in abundance.

freezing

Long known method.The capacity of the water drawn from the water pipe is placed in the freezer.After some time it is removed, and the resulting piece of ice ejected.The water that remains is different ultimate purity.

All that is listed, has a drawback - the scope and volume of the purified water is somewhat limited.When it comes to constant, continuous process of softening for the entire home, and not to one specific "targets", it makes sense to buy their equipment.

How much does it cost?For sale is a lot of different systems from different manufacturers.For example, «TapWorks», «Ecowater», «Jurby», «Galaxy» and others.All of them are different and their capabilities, and price.

reagent-free filter The simplest model will cost about 1 200 rubles ( "Barrier" series BB 10).When you turn in the highway it will protect the structural elements of appliances from scale.Naturally, the systems are more expensive - from 6500 rubles.

But when you consider the total cost of the search for parts, wasted time, labor specialist repairers, complexity of delivery of the same washing machine in the service workshop (not all the work is done "at home"), then surely, such a purchase is justified.And how much - it's up to you, the reader.

And finally - a little advice.If we really need clean water in all respects, there is no reason to buy the product "narrow-profile."Many systems provide an integrated fluid processing, which involves the simultaneous removal of suspended matter and its mitigation.When you select a budget option it is possible to meet (including installation) in 8000 - 9500 rubles.
