Hard water occurs when calcium and magnesium dissolve in water; calcium is generally responsible for most of the hard water problems that arise and need to be treated. It is triggered when calcium is absorbed by water as it moves in streams and through the earth to its source. Severe hard water can make water unpleasant to consume and can be unsafe for people and pets. Hard water is also the reason for some types of scale build-up and water spotting and can cause issues with detergents and soaps. Hard water problems are easily treated with water conditioners and water softeners.

The term soft water is used to describe the mechanical procedure that water undergoes to exchange the hard minerals or water that has never been in contact with calcium or magnesium. Calcium and magnesium are removed from the water by a procedure that exchanges them with sodium chloride (common salt).
