While some remote areas in the world may choose to make their own soft serve mix, problems with separation and product breakdown usually cause headaches. Dairies and mix companies have the expertise to make soft serve mixes with the proper balance of sweeteners, emulsifiers and stabilizers to produce quality soft serve and shake. Powdered mixes are also available, which can be reconstituted with water.

Your water is very soft. Hardness levels in Maine waters are generally low but can range from near zero to several hundred milligrams per liter as calcium carbonate (mg/L as CaCO3), the standard unit for hardness. As you can see from the following table, the Greater Portland (Sebago Lake) water source, with a hardness value of 9 is described as soft. See similar questions...

Soft water is simply water that has had the minerals removed. It does not have anything to do with better water or the quality of water. Minerlas are very valuable to drinking water. See the previous FAQ about reverse osmosis and de mineralized water. See similar questions...

Yes. Water supplies contain different levels of natural minerals like iron, copper or magnesium. These minerals must be removed from the water with a Metal Out or Sequestering Agent (see your dealer) to ensure easier balancing and proper sanitation. If using our FROG® Mineral products, make sure you remove the natural water minerals at pool opening before you use the special FROG® minerals. See similar questions...

When soft water is used instead of hard water the residue in the unit's panel can usually be cleaned by flushing it with water or using a soft brush. Hard water by its nature will leave a scale that is difficult at best to remove. Using soft water will keep scale from accumulating, and thus keep the humidifying unit functioning properly.

The three wells in the Evans Creek Valley have a hardness of 46 mg/l which is considered slightly hard. The two wells on the plateau have a hardness of 64 mg/l and 70 mg/l which is considered moderately hard. See similar questions...

No. Soft water by definition does not contain significant amounts of Calcium and Magnesium salts but it may contain detrimental amounts (> 350ppm) of Sodium Chloride and still be soft. Soft water is definitely easier to use than hard water provided the unwanted salt levels are not too high (see 4). The main advantage of using soft water is that is easier for managing pH (see 13 and 5). In hydroponics, they are all measurements of the amount of dissolved salts in your nutrient solution.

You may be "over moisturizing" your hair- too much of a good thing. There are lighter conditioners, ask your stylist which is best for you. See similar questions...

Yes! Naturally soft water is generally acidic and contains small amounts of dissolved minerals. Water of this nature tends to be more corrosive to plumbing and fixtures. Water softened by a water softener is similar to "raw" water from which it is made but without the "hard water" minerals. It is usually alkaline rather than acidic, and contains larger amounts of other dissolved minerals. See similar questions...

We spend valuable resources building and maintaining our homes. Hard-water mineral deposits actually devalue of our homes and decrease our quality of life by: Removal of hard-water mineral deposits can be done either “chemically” or “mechanically”. See similar questions...

The hardness of water is referred to by three types of measurement: grains per gallon, milligrams per liter (mg/l), or parts per million (ppm). The water supplied by ELCO has a hardness of approximately 25 mg/l or 1.5 grains per gallon. That amount of hardness makes ELCO's water 'slightly hard." See similar questions...

No: all these beverages contains water, but also other elements that don't hydrate your body. Caffeine, for exemple, dehydrate the body, while sugar or sodium can be unealthy if taken in big quantities. See similar questions...

There's a great deal of difference! Naturally soft water is generally acidic and contains very few dissolved minerals. This tends to make the water quite corrosive to pipes and plumbing. The water from a water softener is more like the raw water from which it is made. It is usually alkaline rather than acidic, and contains moderate amounts of dissolved minerals. Thus softening hard water in the home should not significantly affect corrosion. See similar questions...

The basic idea is to try to promote players' ability to stay with their current teams. Nobody likes it when a player plays with a team his entire career, the fans love him, he wants to stay and the team wants to keep him, but he has to leave because the team is unable to offer him a large enough contract. The exceptions under a soft cap allow teams to keep players under these kinds of circumstances. See similar questions...
