How do water softener systems work? Are they magic? Adding salt gets rid of other minerals. . . HOW? I’ve never understood this. I’m 54, male.
In: Chemistry
Water that filters through rocks picks up a chemical dissolved in the water called calcium carbonate, which is basically what goes into making seashells. When you heat the water in a kettle or boiler the calcium carbonate is deposited on the heating element creating the white “fur” by using a water softener you are removing the calcium carbonate.
