 Water
is made from the two most common elements in the Universe, consisting of
just two hydrogen atoms attached to a single oxygen atom. Water is taken
from a variety of both natural and manmade resources including rivers and
lakes and reservoirs and transported via pipes to the treatment works where
the water is cleaned and bacteria killed with Chlorine.
 Chlorine
is used in the making of computers and blood bags, and is also found in the
skin of the Ecuadorian tree frog. (Bet you didn't know that)
Drinking water chlorination is one of the most widely used methods to
safeguard drinking water supplies. But Despite the high quality of mains
water in the UK, many people treat their water, using water softeners,
filters, and scale reducers. Dissolved chalk, lime and other minerals find
their way into our water, and filters can remove these unwanted properties.
Hard water can also damage electrical appliances, a washing machine or
electric kettle can soon "Fur" up with a lime coating making the appliance
less efficient and leading to permanent damage. Rainwater is naturally
soft, but as it runs through chalk and limestone it dissolves and collects
these minerals. The hardness of the supply of mains water to your home is
dependant on where you live and whether the supply is river or ground water.
