Re: Hard/Soft Water
Hi! If I'm not mistaken, hard water contains more minerals like Ca and Mg, while soft water does not have these, and instead has a higher presence of Na.

Re: Hard/Soft Water
Because hard water contains more mineral ions like Ca2+ and Mg2+, it's more alkaline than soft water.

Re: Hard/Soft Water
I think it's helpful to think of "soft" water as water that either naturally or through some kind of filtration process, has the minerals that are common in "hard" water removed.
