- This can not be removed by boiling.
- Caused by dissolved calcium sulfate or magnessium sulfate.
- It is removed by two compounds (both also remove temporary hard water).
1. Ion Exchange Resin (IER)
Hard water → IER → Soft water
IER traps the Calcium / Magnesium sulfate & replaces them with Sodium that does not cause water hardness.
The IER will eventually run out of Sodium & stop working.
To get the IER working, wash with Sodium chloride solution & this will replace the lost Sodium.
