Abstract
The water sources in the southwestern United States are frequently classified as hard waters, resulting in a need to counteract the negative impacts of scale-forming minerals present in the water. This study provides technical data to identify credible alternatives to ion exchange water softeners that would provide consumers with the ability to reduce the impact of hard water without creating negative salinity impacts on reclaimed water.
Originally funded as WERF project Reuse-08-06.
