Water softening in Australia
Water softening for municipal water supplies is not widely practiced in Australia and as such the technology involved is not widely known. This report investigates the current practice of municipal water softening. Methods of softening are considered and their relative merits examined. Attention is...

Water softening for municipal water supplies is not widely practiced in Australia and as such the technology involved is not widely known.
