2. Water softening - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_softening

   The resulting soft water requires less soap for the same cleaning effort, as soap is not wasted bonding with calcium ions. Soft water also extends the lifetime of plumbing by reducing or eliminating scale build-up in pipes and fittings. Water softening is usually achieved using lime softening or ion-exchange resins, but is increasingly being ...

3. Dishwasher salt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dishwasher_salt

   Dishwasher salt is a particular grade of granulated, crystalline sodium chloride intended for regenerating the water softener circuit of household or industrial dishwashers. Analogous to water softener salt, dishwasher salt regenerates ion exchange resins, expelling the therein trapped calcium and magnesium ions that characterize hard water.

   The photo at the top of the page is not an image of a water softener. It appears to be an image of the connection manifold for a tank-type water softener with a pre-filter attached. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.151.237.108 01:58, 14 February 2012 (UTC) You are correct, this is definitely not a water softener.

6. Hard water - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_water

   The softening of hard water by ion exchange does not increase its corrosivity per se. Similarly, where lead plumbing is in use, softened water does not substantially increase plumbo-solvency. [12] In swimming pools, hard water is manifested by a turbid, or cloudy (milky), appearance to the water. Calcium and magnesium hydroxides are both ...

7. Softener - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softener

   Softener may refer to: Fabric softener , a conditioner that is typically applied to laundry during the rinse cycle in a washing machine. Stool softener , anionic surfactants that enable additional water and fats to be incorporated in the stool, making it easier for them to move through the gastrointestinal tract.
