some of the problems with hard water is that it leads to the formation of scales.

wtf is a scale? and how exactly does it affect a person's health?

been searching all over the net for it and couldnt find a proper answer.

thanks for ya help.

Scaling is the build up of Calcium Carbonate.

isnt it also magnesium carbonate?

and why is it bad?

the scale builds up on electronic devices (such as a kettle) once the water boils in the kettle, the scale (CaCO3) ppt forms and ruins it.

is that a health risk?

is that a health risk?

I wouldn't say that it is per se, seeing as it only effects the device
