If neglected, the hard water can easily cause lime scale deposits inside pipes and boilers, thereby increasing the water heating power consumption of boilers by 15 to 20%. They can even clog the pipes. They are known to reduce the lifespan of household appliances such as laundry machines, Solar heating systems and Air Conditioning systems.

You can buy a Water Softening System at home to soften the water. They are known to be very durable and last for many years. For the softening process, they uses salts such as Rock salt, Solar salt and Evaporated salt. There are Central Water Softening systems widely available in the market such as Whirlpool and Aquaguard.
