Is tap water healthy for you?

yes! you can get different types of water that come out of taps. you can get hard water and you can get soft water. hard water has relatively large amounts of calcium and magnesium salts dissolved in it. this is because water is a good solvent. as rain falls from clouds, some of the carbon dioxide dissolves in the water to form carbonic acid (this is very dilute and is not harmful). as the carbonic acid moves through different calcium and magnesium minerals to form hard water. this is proven to help reduce the risks of Heart disease. also, some people say it tastes better too ;). a disadvantage though is that it can cost a little more money to have because you need more soap for it to lather and produce bubbles. also it produces lime scale.

you can transform hard water into soft water by removing calcium and magnesium ions. this cam be achieved by adding washing soda (sodium carbonate) or by passing it through an ionic exchange column.

lol soft water is the opposite and is just plane H2O.
