How does CALCLEAR soften water if it does not remove any minerals from the flow?
CALCLEAR softens water by changing large mineral crystals into tiny mineral particles which have had their ability to bond with themselves or minerals neutralised. It is the tiny particle size and absence of crystals that makes the water soft. In detergents it is the job of enzymes to bind up large crystals before the detergent can lather. As there are no longer any crystals in the treated flow there is very little for the enzymes to bind up so soaps shampoos lather a lot more easily. Crystals, in molecular terms, are very large structures and have all the free bonds necessary to combine with other minerals or react with other elements to form complex chemical structures. They are in fact, nature’s little batteries and are the primary cause of itchy skin. Crystals also bond easily to any surface and become the breeding ground for fungal moulds which cause the more severe skin conditions. This why people have more skin irritations in hard water areas. It is now known that mould needs cr
