Is Hard Water Bad For You?

While it is not generally dangerous to safety or health, hard water does cause potentially costly nuisance problems in the home and in industry. The mineral build-up on plumbing, and heating elements of household products affects their performance and service life. However, the calcium and magnesium in drinking water is actually beneficial to us.

Many people in the UK and other countries need to soften their water. Standard salt fed "ionic exchange" or "reverse osmosis" water softener systems remove these beneficial minerals and add potentially unhealthy sodium to the water from salt. The Eddy electronic water treatment device, however, does not remove the healthy calcium from drinking water, nor does it add any chemicals to the water.

The National Research Council (National Academy of Sciences) proclaims that hard drinking water generally contributes a small amount toward total calcium and magnesium human dietary needs. It further states that in some instances, where dissolved calcium and magnesium are very high, water could be a major contributor of calcium and magnesium to the diet.

Researchers are continually studying the relationship between water hardness and cardiovascular disease mortality. Such studies have been 'epidemiological studies,' which are statistical relationship studies.

While some studies suggest a correlation between hard water and lower cardiovascular disease mortality, other studies do not suggest an association. The National Research Council recognises that results at this time are inconclusive and recommends further studies.
