Hardness Removal from Water Using Nanofiltration
Understanding Hardness Contaminants
Water hardness is primarily caused by high concentrations of calcium and magnesium ions, often originating from limestone and chalk deposits. Hard water can lead to scale buildup in plumbing, reduce the efficiency of heating systems, and leave residue on dishes and fixtures, making its removal important for maintaining water quality.

Solutions for Removal
- Nanofiltration: Uses a semi-permeable membrane to selectively remove hardness-causing ions while allowing smaller molecules to pass through. This method effectively reduces calcium and magnesium levels without removing essential minerals completely.
Applications
Nanofiltration is ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial applications where moderate hardness reduction is needed without complete demineralization.
Benefits of Removal
Reducing water hardness with nanofiltration prevents scale buildup, extends the lifespan of plumbing systems, and improves the efficiency of appliances.
