What to do if there is too much scale in tap water

It is easy for scale to hide in water pipes, and we all know that healthy drinking water is also related to our physical health, so no matter who you are, you should learn more about some methods and techniques for cleaning water pipes so that we can drink water healthily and scientifically.

1. Ion exchange method

Ion exchange resins are divided into two categories. One category is used to reduce the hardness of water to soft water for cleaning, bathing, etc. This type of ion exchange resin is called sodium ion exchange resin. The second type is hydrogen ion exchange resin, which is used to appropriately reduce the hardness of water so that no scale will form after boiling drinking water.

1) Cleaning, bathing, etc.: Sodium ion resin reacts with calcium and magnesium ions in water, quickly exchanging sodium ions into water and adsorbing calcium and magnesium ions in water, thereby completely softening hard water and turning it into water without calcium and magnesium ions. Suitable for daily washing clothes, bathing, etc. The product using this type of resin is a water softener or water softener.

2) Drinking: Hydrogen ion exchange resin reacts with some calcium and magnesium ions in the water to reduce the hardness appropriately. While retaining an appropriate amount of calcium and magnesium ions in the water, it can prevent scale from remaining in the boiled water. Products using this type of resin include water purification equipment for infants and young children, Baby Love Water infant filter kettle, etc.

2. Physical Filtration Method

A membrane separation process that uses a pressure higher than the osmotic pressure as the driving force and utilizes the selective permeability of the selective membrane, which can only pass water but not solutes, to extract fresh water from the water body. Reverse osmosis is also known as reverse osmosis. It is what we commonly call a pure water machine.

Chemical treatment

Chemical agents that can prevent the formation of scale or inhibit its deposition and growth. Such as silicon phosphorus crystals, trisodium water softeners (sodium hydroxide, trisodium phosphate, sodium humate). Can be selected according to different usage.
