Speaking of hard vs. soft water: I lived in Colorado for about a year (some years ago) and rented a place that had the hardest water I had ever showered in. The soap would not lather, but my friend from Texas put up such a complaint about the water's hardness that I thought for sure that he was exaggerating the matter. It wasn't until I went with him to Texas that I found that the water was so soft that I thought that I was still covered in soap when I bathed in it. I never thought that water could get that soft.
jay fawn: I'm sure it depends on the location. Soda Springs, Idaho has got to have plenty of hard water (all that buildup around the geyser), but I know Southwestern Washington had plenty of it since I grew up there.
Hard water happened to us. We moved from one town to another and almost immediately we could taste the difference and feel it. Our scalps now have red rashes and itchy, white flakes. The water burns our eyes too. We installed a shower filter and it was so heavenly to go back to normal. No more flakes or rashes!
i lived in an area of europe with VERY hard water for about three years and hated it. after you wash the dishes or take a shower you better dry off any surfaces or glasses IMMEDIATELY or you will get super hard, disgusting crusts of... salt i guess? or calcium? EVERYWHERE!!!!! it sounds miniscule but trust me: soft water for the win. gosh did i despise cleaning in that place...
I noticed that when i took shower in a hotel. The water in my home is hard water as it can easily contaminate the glass. I can clean the soap off my skin very easily. But some hotel's water is soft water and it took me longer time to wash off the soap.
@2:44 Boiling water will not cause calcium carbonate to evaporate. Calcium carbonate doesn't even evaporate, instead, it will decompose into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. However, for the decomposition of calcium carbonate to occur, the solution has to be heated to ~600 °C, at which point all the water would have evaporated out. So, instead what you intended to say was people distill water to make it soft and not boil it to evaporate calcium carbonate. references: Ciênc. Tecnol.

Dulce G dude I feel it one time my hands got so blistered they thought I had severe burns and they popped them but they literally just kept filling again tmi but I had to cut the skin off the top and cover them in ointment 😂😅
IKR!! Once my right hand was so bad that it had to covered in bandages and the school nurse nearly fainted because my hand looked like it was burnt or something. Notetaking was a pain in the ass 😂
Dulce G it does suck, however I can't say I've really noticed a difference between hard and soft water with mine, I still get flare ups as bad as I did with hard water
2:44 How can one boil off calcium carbonate? Doesn't this qualify as a mineral, and therefore get left behind when the water evaporates? Or does calcium carbonate flash off into a gas before water does? Or was this a inaccuracy in the script?
Boiling water to make it soft? I guess it doesn't make sense as you've mentioned the hydrologic cycle that allows water to evaporate and leave minerals behind.
Well here's the deal m8. Hard water contains Calcium Bicarbonate and Magnesium Bicarbonate. These two minerals cause "temporary hardness". When you apply heat or..boil the water, in case of Calcium Bicarbonate it decomposes to Calcium Carbonate which is a precipitate and sticks to the wall of the container and Carbon Dioxide. And almost same with Magnesium Bicarbonate. CaHCO3 ---->(under heat) CaCo3(V) + CO2 MgHCO3 --->(under heat) Mg(OH)2 + CO2 Balance the equations yourself pls.
I live in the far North East of Scotland and we have soft water, naturally. It's better for washing not only clothes but yourself, especially hair and skin. When I travel to London where they have hard water, I always feel dirty no matter how much I wash my self. I've also noticed that the local populace have not got the same clear skin that people have back home and their hair isn't as shiny!
MMA House nope, its not going to be available to your body to use because humans are meant to eat fruit and vegetables, roots and tubers, and distilled water.
How would boiling the water remove the calcium carbonate? Wouldnt the water evaporate first and cause the caco3 concentration to increase in the water?
CaCO3 is insoluble, so the water needs to cool and the Ca Carbonate sediment settle. Then decant the clear water which is effectively softer than the original starting point.
For the video version of TLDR... Hard water is mainly due to calcium and magnesium in your water. Hard water is not toxic. The main issue is that is can leave residues on counters, plates, etc. The real problem can be that scaling on boilers and such can occur which can affect the life and performance of the machine. Soft water is nice and it's more aesthetically pleasing. But too soft and you'll never get soap off. Also, zero hardness in pipes is extremely bad as it can have issues with corrosion. If your water is too hard and you just plain don't like it, you can get a household water softener which works by ion exchange.
I grew up in and live in a hard water area. We have lots of limestone. I've never had any problem getting soap to lather or feeling it was rinsed off. But when I travel I sometimes experience 'soft' water that doesn't seem able to dissolve the soap and leaves my body with a slimy feel in the shower, not like here. What causes this?
I used to have iron rich water at my old place. I had to boil and then filter the water, leaving significant amounts of red residue in the filter (regular coffee filters worked pretty well). Unfiltered water used for bathing would give my hair slightly reddish color (instead of light blond).
drank it once (bi-distilled water which we had in our lab for experiments so it should be pure). it (ironically) extremely dries out your mouth and throat...yep that's about it. I heard that too much can kill you, but who knows
Well, some cells, like your red blood cells, can indeed burst if there is a fluid around them with too little "solvents"/salts. Could be that people think/thought that distilled water would, like in the case of red blood cells, build up too much pressure inside cells and make them burst.
No, not at all. However, because the water does not contain any minerals at all, the body may suffer from mineral deficiency. Our bodies need many different types of minerals that are necessary for our survival, like iron in the blood or calcium for our teeth and skeleton.
I hate showering in soft water. The soap feels like it never washed off and you have to scrub forever. Then... you're still left feeling greasy like u never took a shower.
The chemicals react with the soluble salts present in the hard water to form insoluble compounds, which are then purified via filters and reverse osmosis. So the end result is soft water.
My grandma had a soft water filter on all the water at her house. It always felt like the soap was still on my hands when washing. I liked it though...it's been many years. Do those soft water filters still exist now? I really liked it.
Oh yes. Where I live in Canada, a water softener machine is a home necessity. We dump bags of salt pellets into the water softener machine every month to soften our water.
I didnt even watch the video, it's on a ad while I'm typing this comment. But for short (this is all you have to know). Hard water has more minerals dissolved into it, mostly stuff like Calcium, Limestone and other easily soluble substances. Soft is just more cleaner. Hard doesn't necessarily mean that it's dirty, it can be more healthier due to more minerals.
No, it doesn't. You just end up having to use more of it if you have hard water, or else your clothes come out stiff and dry. I've noticed that the fabric softener doesn't get absorbed that well by the clothing in hard water, and the detergent doesn't completely wash off either.
I've heard before that one of the waters come out of the faucet with a kind of whitish color to it, and when you pour it into a bucket it looks like it has tons of small bubbles in it keeping this milky color for a minute before looking again like normal water. I've seen it before, but I was wondering if this is a generally good indicator?
My water in my apartment is hard and my dishwasher doesn't have one of those spotless water things in it so I started throwing white vinegar in with my dishes and now there is no more cloudy film on the dishes.
Error: boiling doesn't evaporate Calcium Carbonate. Boiling decarbonises water. It pushes out CO2 that is dissolved in water and is within Bicarbonate ions (like soluble Calcium Bicarbonate). This leaves insoluble Calcium Carbonate in suspension. If you allow the cloudiness to settle, you can decant the water and it leaves a slightly softened water. Note that other minerals that contribute towards hardness will still remain. Main point: this video has imprecise information about the effect of boiling on hardness.
This is what I don't understand... When you Evaporate the Water, it goes from "Hard" Water, to "Soft" Water, because the process of Evaporation leaves those minerals behind. So... (I live in the U.S. so I know this doesn't apply to every country) If we get our water from a Water Company who is supposed to "Filter" the water to make it clean/safe for drinking, etc... Why is our Water companies not distilling the water instead (or "in addition" to filtering)? Distilling water is a process that takes water, and evaporates it and allows the water vapor to reform back into water again, to become "Distilled Water". Wouldn't that insure that the water would be "Soft Water"? Why are water companies not doing this? Is there something from this process that I am missing? Or is a "Filtration System" a "cheaper alternative" than "Distilling" would be? If I'm understanding things correctly, they could run it through a filter process, and then distill the water through evaporation... Then there should be no reason to have "Hard Water" issues, right? Am I missing something here???
Phoenix Fire good question... yes distilled water is the best ever drinking water. it removes foreign insoluable inorganic minerals and the water companies seem to desire us to be kept in a misinformed place with their half news propaganda science-brand science videos like D News. they also charge a lot for desalination plants. and charge a lot for 'mountain waters' and 'mineral' waters that are both types of hard water.. that is having pollutants of chemical residue and inorganic insuluable minerals that actally poison us humans greatly and contribute almost all disease to us. so I guess that the companies of bottled water are like anarco capitalists and seek to keep us stupid to actual chemistry science so they can keep using us to make a buck, keep the ignorance going and make them their castle for tomorrow.
Wow im so used to watching videos in low quality on my 1080p monitor (GTX 960) because of my slow internet and when i went to hang out with my gamer brother i brought my pc.. 1080p youtube is a dream man!
I hate very soft water because when I take a shower I can't get the soap off. This is because human skin has an electric charge. When a water softener does its thing, it replaces the calcium (Ca+2) and magnesium (Mg+2) with sodium (Na+1) or sometimes potassium (K+1). When soap works, it creates a stearate ion. This will only wash away if the attraction is greater than your skin. When the calcium and magnesium is removed, the sodium doesn't have a strong enough bond to wash it away. It took me forever to find that info because the companies that make water softeners tell you that it's the natural oils from your skin when you use soft water. They don't want you to know that the soap is stuck to you.
I am now a long term resident of a nursing home. I've been here almost 7 months. The water here is somehow different from the water in other places I've lived. I've noticed that after washing my hands or showering, the water doesn't seem to rinse well, after washing my hands or showering, I still feel soapy and the soap just will not rinse off. I've always been use to feeling squeaky clean afterwards. What is the difference there.
Live in California so I'm used to hard water. When I go to the Pac NW and take a shower its immediately obvious how most of their water is soft. Soap rinses better and my hair is really soft and clean feeling.
What happens to the minerals when the water becomes rain? It sounded like she said that the hard water is evaporated (incl minerals) then becomes rain (without minerals) so what happens to the minerals while the water is up there? Or did she mean that the minerals are not evaporated and are left behind?
***RELATED VIDEO IDEA/QUESTION*** I've been having issues with my new generic fridge filter, for some reason after the water sits in my cup for a while (like an hour or two) it tastes really bad, like hotel water. A quick search told me that the reason hotel water tastes bad is because they filter & chlorinate the water further, but that wasn't enough so I kept digging and came across a single article a doctor wrote that explains the dangers of filtered water. Seemed like an overreaction until he got to the part where he wrote that purified water can absorb CO2 from the air therefore making it more acidic. Then I found an article refuting the assertion along with his concerns that purified water can leech minerals from your body (which would explain my constant craving for salty foods). So now I'm at a loss, I don't think I've ever had this issue with a water filter before, is there really not enough research on this?
I'm a little surprised DNews chose a male showering for the thumbnail on this vid. For a bunch of so-called open minded scientific reporters who have filmed a plethora of videos on gender relations and equality, they aren't afraid to objectifying women to get more views.
Jake G that is because they dont know Jack. I guess distilled bottled water in #2 High Density PolyEthylene HDPE plastic bottled less than 6-8 months ago is alright. distilled water removes foreign earth minerals that the body cant even use anyway that cause almost all human disease.
If you've got problems with limescale, there is a simple way to clean it off - hydrochloric acid. It is extremely effective. Some toilet cleaners are just hydrochloric acid, so you can use those, or you can buy more concentrated acid somewhere else. Don't be stupid with it, and be careful what surfaces you use it on if it's a decent concentration though. Porcelain in toilets and tubs don't mind it at all.

If you allow the cloudiness to settle, you can decant the water and it leaves a slightly softened water. Note that other minerals that contribute towards hardness will still remain.
Main point: this video has imprecise information about the effect of boiling on hardness.
*Hard vs. Soft Water: What's The Difference?* That girl gave me something hard & stiff
hard and soft look exactrly the same eh? ^^ that's what she said!
I commented the same thing 😂
biggest kicker is whether one or the other is particularly healthier for you. soft water is always sold as being healthier but is it really?
This is what I don't understand...
When you Evaporate the Water, it goes from "Hard" Water, to "Soft" Water, because the process of Evaporation leaves those minerals behind. So... (I live in the U.S. so I know this doesn't apply to every country) If we get our water from a Water Company who is supposed to "Filter" the water to make it clean/safe for drinking, etc... Why is our Water companies not distilling the water instead (or "in addition" to filtering)? Distilling water is a process that takes water, and evaporates it and allows the water vapor to reform back into water again, to become "Distilled Water". Wouldn't that insure that the water would be "Soft Water"? Why are water companies not doing this? Is there something from this process that I am missing? Or is a "Filtration System" a "cheaper alternative" than "Distilling" would be? If I'm understanding things correctly, they could run it through a filter process, and then distill the water through evaporation... Then there should be no reason to have "Hard Water" issues, right? Am I missing something here???
Phoenix Fire good question... yes distilled water is the best ever drinking water. it removes foreign insoluable inorganic minerals and the water companies seem to desire us to be kept in a misinformed place with their half news propaganda science-brand science videos like D News. they also charge a lot for desalination plants. and charge a lot for 'mountain waters' and 'mineral' waters that are both types of hard water.. that is having pollutants of chemical residue and inorganic insuluable minerals that actally poison us humans greatly and contribute almost all disease to us. so I guess that the companies of bottled water are like anarco capitalists and seek to keep us stupid to actual chemistry science so they can keep using us to make a buck, keep the ignorance going and make them their castle for tomorrow.
I have hard water in my home.
Galassia di Andromeda I have got Ice in my home as well 😋
Mario Lamando lol
Mario Lamando
so you're a smartass eh........
Norma get a water distiller so you can start preventing all your future diseases.
Just seeing all the comments about how pretty she is..
Stlouis Missouri wow good thing you can shut the fuck up
Real_Liam_Payne they are a liar th ough, half true statements that got misleading.
She explained this quite well
Soft water Hard water
You. Vs. The guy she told u not to worry
Yo you guys hear about the man who died by a A pop can that fell on him good thing is was a soft drink. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.
hey! can it! no one has any soda time for your jokes! ;D
Julian KMS ba dum tsss, totally not a old joke that I heard 50 times
Henry Chan ya that why i sarcastically laughed Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.
I assume it's supposed to be "Almost died by a pop can", else there's not much of a good thing.
not funny
I am curious to to whether the same thing applies when the water is frozen and can you tell the weight overall by weighing the water?
Wow im so used to watching videos in low quality on my 1080p monitor (GTX 960) because of my slow internet and when i went to hang out with my gamer brother i brought my pc.. 1080p youtube is a dream man!
Joe Zylstra my internet's download speed is 5.85mbs. git gud. (I hate it)
HAHA Lucky! My internet speed at my house is 2.89 Down TOPS
But my ping is dank af so i game often lmao
our water has some disolved iron in it. it leaves the sink and tub red if you run out of salt
100 bucks says those glasses at the beginning of the video were both the same type of water
I hate very soft water because when I take a shower I can't get the soap off. This is because human skin has an electric charge. When a water softener does its thing, it replaces the calcium (Ca+2) and magnesium (Mg+2) with sodium (Na+1) or sometimes potassium (K+1). When soap works, it creates a stearate ion. This will only wash away if the attraction is greater than your skin. When the calcium and magnesium is removed, the sodium doesn't have a strong enough bond to wash it away. It took me forever to find that info because the companies that make water softeners tell you that it's the natural oils from your skin when you use soft water. They don't want you to know that the soap is stuck to you.
I am now a long term resident of a nursing home. I've been here almost 7 months. The water here is somehow different from the water in other places I've lived. I've noticed that after washing my hands or showering, the water doesn't seem to rinse well, after washing my hands or showering, I still feel soapy and the soap just will not rinse off. I've always been use to feeling squeaky clean afterwards. What is the difference there.
Live in California so I'm used to hard water. When I go to the Pac NW and take a shower its immediately obvious how most of their water is soft. Soap rinses better and my hair is really soft and clean feeling.
When I first saw the title to this video -- "One is frozen and usually referred to as 'ice.'"
She's Fit
What happens to the minerals when the water becomes rain? It sounded like she said that the hard water is evaporated (incl minerals) then becomes rain (without minerals) so what happens to the minerals while the water is up there? Or did she mean that the minerals are not evaporated and are left behind?
***RELATED VIDEO IDEA/QUESTION***
I've been having issues with my new generic fridge filter, for some reason after the water sits in my cup for a while (like an hour or two) it tastes really bad, like hotel water. A quick search told me that the reason hotel water tastes bad is because they filter & chlorinate the water further, but that wasn't enough so I kept digging and came across a single article a doctor wrote that explains the dangers of filtered water. Seemed like an overreaction until he got to the part where he wrote that purified water can absorb CO2 from the air therefore making it more acidic. Then I found an article refuting the assertion along with his concerns that purified water can leech minerals from your body (which would explain my constant craving for salty foods).
So now I'm at a loss, I don't think I've ever had this issue with a water filter before, is there really not enough research on this?
I'm a little surprised DNews chose a male showering for the thumbnail on this vid. For a bunch of so-called open minded scientific reporters who have filmed a plethora of videos on gender relations and equality, they aren't afraid to objectifying women to get more views.
Is most bottled water soft? Some people say they think bottled water tastes better.
Jake G that is because they dont know Jack. I guess distilled bottled water in #2 High Density PolyEthylene HDPE plastic bottled less than 6-8 months ago is alright. distilled water removes foreign earth minerals that the body cant even use anyway that cause almost all human disease.
If you've got problems with limescale, there is a simple way to clean it off - hydrochloric acid. It is extremely effective. Some toilet cleaners are just hydrochloric acid, so you can use those, or you can buy more concentrated acid somewhere else. Don't be stupid with it, and be careful what surfaces you use it on if it's a decent concentration though. Porcelain in toilets and tubs don't mind it at all.
She dissolves calcium sulfate right in my water.
Not a question about hard or soft water, but where did you get our shirt?
I realised this when I went on holiday to Florida, where I live most water comes from reservoirs and is soft
is it safe to drink soft water? or water that has gone through water softener solution?
Mam please suggest any chemical softener for hard water and also suitable for aquarium tank
