ABOUT HARD WATER 

WHY WATER GETS HARD 

All the freshwater in the world originally falls as rain, snow, or sleet. Surface water is drawn upward by the sun, forming 
clouds. Then, nearly pure and soft as it starts to fall, it begins to collect impurities as it passes through smog and dust-
laden atmosphere. And as it seeps through soil and rocks it gathers hardness, rust, acid, unpleasant tastes, and odour.  

Water hardness is caused primarily by limestone dissolved from the earth by rainwater. Because of this, in earlier times 
people who wanted soft water collected rainwater from roofs in rain barrels and cisterns before it picked up hardness 
from the earth.  

Some localities have corrosive water. A softener cannot correct this problem and so its printed warranty disclaims 
liability for corrosion of plumbing lines, fixtures, or appliances.  

Iron is a common water problem. The chemical/ physical nature of iron found in natural water supplies is exhibited in 
four general types: (Applies to private well or surface water applications only.) 

 

1)

 

Dissolved Iron—Also called ferrous or “clear water” iron. This type of iron can be removed from the water by the 
same ion exchange principle that removes the hardness elements, calcium, and magnesium. Dissolved iron is 
soluble in water and is detected by taking a sample of the water to be treated in a clear glass. The water in the 
glass is initially clear, but on standing exposed to the air, it may gradually turn cloudy or coloured as it oxidizes. 
Applies to private well or surface water applications only. 

2)

 

 Particulate Iron—Also called ferric or colloidal iron. This type of iron is an undissolved particle of iron. A softener 
will remove larger particles, but they may not be washed out in regeneration effectively and will eventually foul 
the ion exchange resin. A filtering treatment will be required to remove this type of iron. Applies to private well 
or surface water applications only. 

3)

 

Organic Bound Iron—This type of iron is strongly attached to an organic compound in the water. The ion 
exchange process alone cannot break this attachment and the softener will not remove this type of iron. Applies 
to private well or surface water applications only. 

4)

 

Bacterial Iron—This type of iron is protected inside a bacteria cell. Like the organic bound iron, it is not removed 
by a water softener. Applies to private well or surface water applications only. 

 

ATTENTION: Salt free water systems are not designed for well water application and are to be used only with 
municipal supply AKA City water supply.
