LiveScience: Heat waves, storm flooding aggravated by rising sea levels and other extreme events associated with climate change can affect everyone when they hit, but the danger isn't shared equally. One segment of the population -- the elderly -- is particular vulnerable when disaster strikes.

2013-03-05 23:06:16| About Home Repair
When is water hard?When it is filled with mineral deposits such as calcium. One of the most common problems found with water in the home is what's called hard water which is caused by calcium deposits and may be noticed by nasty chalking on your shower doors. The only way to truly solve the problem is with a water softener. I've got some info on how to test to see if you have hard water in the tutorial Home Test for Hard Water. But in the end, if you have hard water you will need a softener or a water filtration unit. Mysterious things these water softeners...and one of the least understood appliances in your home. They come in smaller capacity cabinet models, and they come in larger two-tank models. But just how does adding salt or potassium to something make your water softer? And what is soft water anyway? And when you try and get an explanation of how they work you're hit with words in which few are interested, like "ions", "ion exchange", "resin", "particle charge" and so on. Well it does not have to be that hard to understand. In the tutorial Water Softeners - How They Work, I'll explain clearly how they work and you won't even need a chemistry degree. Promise. You'll learn the secrets of the softener and why water softeners can hurt septic systems if you use salt. You'll also learn why you should use potassium and not salt in your water softener's brine tank for your health and the environment. It makes a difference.
