Is tap water limescale harmful to the body

1.Limescale after boiling tap water is generally harmless to humans.

2.Scale is a substance that precipitates in water, and its main components are calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate and other substances. Its composition is safe, and the scale produced will not cause harm to the human body.

3.If the source of drinking water is unknown, or if untreated well and river water may contain substances that are harmful to humans, the scale formed may also be harmful to humans.

Let's first understand what scale is, many people think that scale is a combination of bacteria and harmful substances in tap water. In fact, this is not the case, scale is the minerals in the water, insoluble in the water and then clump together, not the bacterial corpse that people think.

Although everyone has been complaining about the serious water pollution in our country, the water that people usually drink is still very clean, even if it is raw water. After all, tap water is sterilized and disinfected before it is delivered to people's homes. Moreover, it is filtered layer by layer, the procedure is cumbersome and complicated, and the current water is all groundwater, so the water quality is still very clean and will not have an adverse effect on the body.

In addition, many of the minerals contained in tap water are essential nutrients for the human body, which means that drinking tap water will not harm your health, but will be beneficial to your health. In many cases, there is a lot of limescale in the water because people boil the water for too long, open the lid before the water is about to boil, and fill the water when the water boils to reduce the scale production.

So, is drinking filtered water at home for a long time good for your health?

Although we all know that limescale will not cause harm to the body, after the tap water is boiled, there is a layer of things floating in the water cup, and people who watch it are very uncomfortable and do not want to drink it. As a result, filtered water began to be liked by people, and there would be no scale when the tap water was filtered and then boiled. The water filter can adsorb and precipitate the dirt in the tap water, so there is nothing in the filtered water, which can only replenish water for the human body, and naturally has no harm to the body.

Therefore, there is no good or bad difference between drinking tap water and filtered water, it purely depends on personal habits.

However, in many areas, the way to transport tap water is still iron pipelines, and iron pipelines are eroded by water flow for many years, which is easy to corrode and rust. These rusts and harmful substances can pollute tap water and are not good for health, so it is necessary to drink filtered water if you live in a community where tap water is transported by iron pipeline, or where you supply water to a secondary water. You can also turn on the tap water and run it for 5 minutes before using it, so that you can get good water quality.

Don't waste the water that flowed before, in addition to watering flowers, you can also use it to flush the bathroom.

For people's concern about whether there will be a lack of minerals when drinking filtered water for a long time, it is not a problem at all. Because although water contains minerals, the amount is limited, and the food that people often eat contains minerals. Therefore, supplementing minerals does not only rely on drinking water, but also on the food you usually eat, and you don't have to worry about the lack of minerals with a balanced daily nutrition.

However, the filter machine cannot play a role in sterilization, so it is best to boil the filtered water before drinking.
