          • 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

          • Example sentence(s)
            • 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

            • Água rica em minerais de cálcio e magnésio, principalmente carbonatos. Own research - by Marcelo Lino
          • Example sentence(s)
            • Dureza da água é a propriedade relacionada com a concentração de íons de determinados minerais dissolvidos nesta substância. A dureza da água é predominantemente causada pela presença de sais de Cálcio e Magnésio, de modo que os principais íons levados em consideração na medição são os de Cálcio (Ca+) e (Mg+) - Wikipedia by Marcelo Lino
            • O tratamento da água dura para a retirada de Ca2+ e Mg2+ é conhecido por abrandamento ou amolecimento e consiste em fazer a água atravessar uma resina que captura os íons Ca2+ e Mg2+, substituindo-os por íons não prejudiciais ao homem, tais como o Na+ e o H+. - UENF by Marcelo Lino

            • hard water
          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • Wanneer water 'hard' genoemd wordt, betekent dit simpelweg dat het meer mineralen bevat dan gewoon water. Deze mineralen zijn vooral calcium en magnesium. De mate van hardheid van water neemt toe, naarmate er meer calcium en magnesium in het water oplost. Wageningen Universiteit - by Max Nuijens
          • Example sentence(s)
            • Wat is hard water? Hard water, ofwel de hardheid van water zit hem voornamelijk in de mineralen calcium en magnesium. Wanneer deze mineralen zich binden noemen we dit kalk. Hard water is dus water met een (te) hoog gehalte aan kalk. - Zacht Water waterontharders by Max Nuijens
            • Hard water wordt voornamelijk veroorzaakt door de aanwezigheid van twee stoffen, die onontbeerlijk zijn voor onze gezondheid: calcium en magnesium. Hard water is dus gezond water. Wanneer hard water verwarmd wordt boven 55° Celcius, of wanneer dit water in contact komt met lucht, bijvoorbeeld via de douchekop of aan de kraan, kan dit kalkafzetting veroorzaken. Bij elektrische apparaten, bijvoorbeeld koffiezetapparaten, vaatwasser of wasmachine, kan kalkafzetting leiden tot verlies van energierendement. Bij hard water moet je bij het wassen ook meer wasproduct gebruiken. In die gevallen kan het aangewezen zijn om een waterverzachter te installeren. Laat dit steeds uitvoeren door een geschoold vakman. - Waterloket - Vlaamse Milieumaatschappij by Max Nuijens
            • De hardheid van het water heeft te maken met de hoeveelheid kalk die in het water is opgelost. Eigenlijk gaat het om twee verschillende stoffen: calcium (kalk) en magnesium. Deze stoffen bepalen samen de hardheid van het water. Regenwater bijvoorbeeld, is van nature erg zacht. Maar voordat we er drinkwater van maken, heeft het een lange weg afgelegd als rivier- of grondwater. Onderweg neemt het mineralen, zoals kalk, op uit de bodem. Als er in de bodem van het gebied dus veel calcium en magnesium voorkomt, zal het drinkwater van nature hard zijn. Dat gehalte in de bodem is niet overal gelijk; de hardheid van het water verschilt dan ook van regio tot regio. - Waterbedrijf Groningen by Max Nuijens
