          • Example sentence(s)
            • Fortesia e ujit Fortesia e ujit percaktohet nga sasia e kalciumit dhe magnezit qe permban uji. Fortesia totale perbehet nga fortesi karbonati dhe e perher shme (kalkarje - gelqeror). Kur uji me fortesi karbonati ngrohet, perberesi i tij i larte i kalkarjes depozitohet. Kjo sjell nje konsumim te larte energjie deri edhe daljen nga funksioni te disa prej paisjeve shtepiake. Uje i forte do te thote qe nevojitet me shume detergjent per larje dhe proceset behen me te veshtira. Shkembimi i joneve ne filtrin BRITA ul fortesine e ujit, e cila shkakton kalkarjet. - albrita.com by Juliana Cullafiq

            • Ако високите TDS отчитувања се должат на јоните од тврда вода, тогаш сапуните може да бидат помалку ефикасни или пак, во цевките од грејните тела може да се создадат наслаги. - Интернет by Milena Chkripeska

            • hard water
          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • Hard water is water contaminated with compounds of calcium and magnesium. Dissolved iron, manganese, and strontium compounds can also contribute to the "total hardness" of the water, which is usually expressed as ppm CaCO3. Water with a hardness over 80 ppm CaCO3 is often treated with water softeners, since hard water produces scale in hot water pipes and boilers and lowers the effectiveness of detergents. antoine.frostburg.edu
          • Example sentence(s)
            • Some laundry detergents do not produce as many suds in hard water, these are likely to be soap-based products and do not work as well in hard-water as detergent based products. - water-treatment.org.uk
            • Hard water also contributes to inefficient and costly operation of water-using appliances. Heated hard water forms a scale of calcium and magnesium minerals that can contribute to the inefficient operation or failure of water-using appliances. - Wilkes University
            • Clothes washed in hard water often look dingy and feel harsh and scratchy. - sciLinks

          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • 硬水是含有較多可溶性鈣、鎂等化合物的水。所有自然的淡水中都多多少少含有鈣、鎂等礦物質的, 比方說如果水流過石灰, 硬度就會增加；而如果流過泥煤, 硬度就會下降。 维基百科 - by Han Li
          • Example sentence(s)
            • 所谓"硬水"是指水中所溶的矿物质成分多，尤其是钙和镁。硬水并不对健康造成直接危害，但是会给生活带来好多麻烦，比如用水器具上结水垢、肥皂和清洁剂的洗涤效率减低等。 - 东利网 by Han Li
            • 钙镁离子含量较多的水称为硬水，钙镁离子含量较少的水称为软水。硬水与软水只是通俗上的叫法，并没有标准的量的概念，在生活中，行内一般把硬度低于3mmol/L的水称为较软的水，3-6称为普通水，6-8称为较硬的水，10以上称为高硬水。 - Supesite by Han Li

          • Definition(s)
            • En química, el agua dura (por contraposición al agua blanda) es aquella que posee una dureza superior a 120 mg CaCO3/l. Es decir que contiene un alto nivel de minerales, en particular sales de magnesio y calcio. Son éstas las causantes de la dureza del agua, y el grado de dureza es directamente proporcional a la concentración de sales metálicas. Wikipedia - by Laura Mangini
          • Example sentence(s)
            • El agua dura puede volver a ser blanda, con el agregado de carbonato de sodio o potasio, para precipitarlo como sales de carbonatos, o por medio de intercambio iónico con salmuera en presencia de zeolita o resinas sintéticas - Wikipedia by Laura Mangini

          • Definition(s)
            • Tvrdost vody je vlastnost, která vyjadřuje obsah rozpuštěných nerostů (nejčastěji CaO a MgO) ve vodě. Tvrdost vody má význam pro její využití jako pitné i užitkové vody. Je zdrojem tvorby vodního i kotelního kamene, a ovlivňuje i chuťové vlastnosti vody. V českých zemích se tvrdost vody měřila v tzv. německých stupních, kde jeden stupeň odpovídá 10 mg CaO/litr nebo 7,2 mg MgO/litr. tvrdá voda - víc jak 18°-25° Wikipedia - by Jiri Farkac
          • Example sentence(s)
            • Kotelní kámen je směs minerálů, které se vylučují ve formě pevného povlaku na stěnách nádoby, v níž dochází k varu tvrdé vody. - Wikipedia by Jiri Farkac
