 WATER HARDNESS

Water containing substantial concentrations of Ca++,

Mg++ and Fe++ is regarded as “hard water”
Water “hardness” is expressed as a calcium
carbonate concentration equivalent in mg/l units.
The most prevalent precipitate from hard water is
calcium carbonate. However when fertigating with
fertilizers that contain phosphorous and sulfur,
calcium phosphate and calcium sulfate (gypsum) may
also precipitate.
