Because hard water reacts with cleaning agents, it can produce soap buildup and damage to fixtures and appliances more quickly than soft water. Hard water minerals combine with soap to form soap scum, which prevents the formation of suds. Because of the hard water, you must use more soap.
Scale is mainly due to two minerals calcium and magnesium – these minerals are good for health but not for piping systems. The scale problem arises when scale deposits inside the piping system, equipment or on pipe surfaces. Hard water have high contains of calcium ions: the more calcium ions in the water, the water is harder and creates these scaling problems.
The scale develops because of calcium and magnesium. Thus, scale is seen in white colour on plastic pipes, but on metal pipes it is brown in colour due to iron oxides particles getting deposited along with scale. Rusting is a serious problem if untreated and cause corrosion in the piping system.
A scale deposit is a perfect place for the breeding of bacteria and other micro-organisms because of the rough surface of scale. As deposits are uneven and have uneven surfaces, little opening within the scale give rise to breeding of bacteria and they stays there. Water may be hot or cold, but the danger of bacteria breeding within the scale deposit remains.
