The quality of water in our home is hugely important and very few of us consider the health effects and cost of have poor quality water. We often take for granted the fact that the water we get from the tap is clean, and undiluted by other materials. Whilst in Ireland we generally do have clean drinking water, which is almost perfectly safe to drink, very few of us know exactly what is in the water that we get out of the tap. Unfortunately, many of us live in areas with hard water. Hard water is water that is contains trace elements of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Rainwater is soft or pure water, but as soon as the water hits the atmosphere it can collect gases and other impurities in the air. Most water in our systems is collected from groundwater hence it is obvious that the water we get in our homes is hard. Whilst these minerals are almost never harmful, they can have costly effects to our family and homes. It can be quite marked, especially among people who are vulnerable or still physically developing.

Benefits of soft water for children

You can rectify the problem of having hard water in your home by buying water filtering system, or water softening system. This has many benefits, but most of all it has benefits for children and adults alike. Children are at a crucial stage in the development, and they will grow more as a child than they ever do as an adult. That’s why it’s crucial that they get the right amount of minerals and vitamins, and they don’t get it from sources they shouldn’t. It is important that children get enough calcium, because it helps their bones, teeth, and general skeleton and muscular structure to develop.

You water can contain other minerals and chemicals such as fluoride and chlorine which can damage healthy teeth and bones. Hard water may also irritate the soft skin of children and adults and may cause serious skin and hair issues with prolonged exposure.
