What Causes Calcium Hardness to Change?

Episode Summary

Eric briefly talks about calcium hardness, and explains how it can rise and fall. In short, if calcium increases, it's coming from somewhere. If calcium decreases, it's going somewhere. Two-breath summary at the end.

Episode Notes

00:00 - Intro

01:29 - The amount of calcium carbonate is calcium hardness. How saturated that calcium carbonate is is measured using the LSI.

02:45 - If calcium rises, it's coming from somewhere. If calcium falls, it's going somewhere.

03:21 - What increases calcium hardness?

05:03 - What reduces calcium hardness?

07:02 - Evaporation and accumulation

08:53 - If the calcium seems to move much more than it should, it's probably a faulty test

10:16 - Two-breath recap. Thanks for listening!
